We cannot say enough wonderful things about Matt O’Brien. He truly is the best real estate agent we could have asked for. My parents worked with Matt when they purchased their home and spoke so highly of him that we knew we wanted to work with him too. Still, we did not fully understand just how exceptional he is until we went through the process ourselves. Our home search was not simple. We went through multiple scenarios and changing priorities. At first, we were trying to find a home where we could live with my aging parents. Then we shifted to finding a home just for our family, while still planning for future accommodations for them. On top of that, we had very specific requirements, including feng shui. We paid close attention to layout, flow, and door alignment, things most buyers probably never even consider. Through it all, Matt never once complained. He just rolled with it and probably learned more about feng shui than he ever expected. Matt was incredibly patient, flexible, and supportive. No matter how many times we changed direction, he stayed focused on helping us find what was truly right for us. When we felt ready to just pick something, he would slow us down and talk things through. He was always looking out for us. He is knowledgeable, responsive, and made himself available whenever we needed him, often arranging same day showings. We will never forget the weekend he showed us 10 homes in one day. What truly sets Matt apart is his integrity. He never pushed us. In fact, he sometimes advised us against homes that did not fully make sense for us. That honesty is rare. Even after the sale, he continues to offer help and is always available for questions. Matt is simply a wonderful person. He is kind, easygoing, and has a great sense of humor. Spending time with him never felt like a transaction. It felt like working with a trusted friend. He is truly someone you want to keep in your life even after the process is over.

I recently sold my rental property in California, a process complicated by my out-of-state residency and the need for significant remodeling. I engaged Matt's services, and his support was exceptional. Not only is he highly knowledgeable about the local market and area, but he also provided comprehensive project management for the remodel. Matt secured reputable contractors dedicated to quality enhancements rather than just quick flips, ensuring optimal value for both the seller and the eventual buyer. I am thoroughly satisfied with every aspect of his work and would confidently choose to work with Matt again for future real estate endeavors.
Buyer of 34709 Candlestick Circle, Murrieta
We recently had the pleasure of working with Matt O’Brian from HomeCrave.com as our broker agent while purchasing our first rental property. As first-time investors, we were initially hesitant about the process, but Matt made the entire journey smooth, educational, and—most importantly—successful. From the beginning, Matt took the time to understand our needs, guiding us through every step with patience and expertise. He didn’t just find us a property; he helped us build the confidence to take this big step. He provided video tutorials to explain each part of the buying process, ensuring we fully understood our decisions along the way. Our criteria weren’t easy—we wanted a turn-key rental with minimal work, a newer build, and within a specific budget. Matt took on this challenge with enthusiasm, diligently searching for properties that matched our needs. He was incredibly responsive, constantly adjusting his approach based on our feedback, and never hesitated to pivot when necessary. Beyond just being a great agent, Matt truly went above and beyond. He kept us motivated, gently nudging us forward when we needed it, and always made sure we stayed on track. His generosity and thoughtfulness stood out—whether it was gifting us new locks for easy re-keying, surprising us with gift cards during stressful moments, or even driving out to meet contractors when we couldn’t be there ourselves. We found Matt through a personal referral, and now, after working with him, we can confidently say we’ll be referring him to others as well. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, dedicated, and genuinely caring real estate professional, we highly recommend Matt O’Brian at HomeCrave.com. He didn’t just help us buy a property—he helped us start our journey as rental property owners. Thank you, Matt!

I'm recently widowed and needed to sell my home. Scott had helped my son on a project for SDSU so I met with him and liked his plan for selling my home and his upfront honest attitude immediately. Ive never had an agent before that was so involved in the process of preparing a home for sale, Scott was at the house regularly assisting me in getting it ready for sale. It was a huge job ! Scott is honest and upfront and always had my best interest at heart even if it wasn't what was best for him. I would Highly recommend him to my family and friends or anyone selling or buying !

Buyer of 16916 Hutchins Landing, San Diego
Our townhouse purchase with James could not have gone any smoother! Documents were sent to us in a timely manner and James did a great job explaining any questions we had along the way. Our escrow period happened to overlap with a vacation to Hawaii and James made sure we were able to meet with a notary in Hawaii so that our purchase wasn't delayed. We ended up closing one week earlier than expected! James also acted as our mortgage broker which made it convenient as he was our one-stop-shop for everything we needed with our purchase. I would highly recommend James if you are in the market to buy a house.
