My husband and I were new to home buying and it could not have been any easier doing so with John O'Brien. He is professional and personable; patient and diligent; thorough and concise. With John, we always felt comfortable asking him questions, no matter how "dumb" we thought they were, and he made sure to guide us each step of the way if anything was new. His experience and sharp eyes will catch more than you thought possible, offering honest and informative feedback. He's exceptional at finding information about a potential home, whether it be sifting through info online or directly asking other homeowners within that neighborhood. You will never feel pressured into buying a home, no matter how long it takes - John wants to ensure that you'll love your new home. You will be in great hands!

John OBrien is by far one of the best realtors Ive had the pleasure of working with. His excellent communication, deep knowledge of the Seattle market, and positive, can-do attitude made all the difference in my home-buying experience. In a fast-paced and competitive market, John helped me find a great homeaEUR"and, more importantly, he was one of the first realtors who truly prioritized my long-term interests, even talking me out of making the wrong purchase. I highly recommend him and look forward to working with him again in the future.

As first time buyers we were unsure of where to begin and were referred to John by friends who had a great experience working with John during their home search. We didn't quite know what we were looking for to start and John first began by understanding the wide range of homes/characteristics we might be interested in and then began, quickly and thoughtfully, getting us into tour homes so we could see and feel what different types of homes, models, years, etc. would be like. From there we were able to refine our search and John was amazing with sending new homes and getting us into tour homes (sometimes within a couple hours notice) we were interested in. During tours John was very meticulous in pointing out pros and cons, helping us think about what life would be like at the property, while also giving us some space to get a feel for it in solitude. When we finally found the home that felt right, I was very impressed with John and his ability to strategically prepare and offer and work with the listing agent to come to an agreement. Not only was John able to secure an agreement that was below asking price, but the sellers also replaced the washing machine and serviced the HVAC. Every step of the way John was there to support us and made sure we had clear understanding about what was happening and what would be needed/expected of us so there was never any surprises or confusion. I can't compliment him enough on his thoughtfulness, flexibility, communication, thoroughness, and genuinely being someone I enjoyed touring homes with on the weekends and afternoons. Long review, but this is a testament to John's incredible service and capabilites. I can't recommend him enough to anyone who is looking for a home or is unsure of where to start, like we were! We look forward to continuing to stay in contact with him and use him again for future buying and selling needs. Thanks again, John! You rock!

I've bought two homes with John. He seems to know everything about every neighborhood in the Seattle area. For the most recent purchase, the search was year-long because I have so many (sometimes conflicting) criteria - and John was unfailingly patient and understanding throughout. He also gave me a lot of tips about home and yard maintenance - I learned a lot from him. Highly recommend.

Buying our first home was a huge step, and were so glad we had John as our real estate agent. His expertise and guidance were invaluable throughout the entire process. Johns in-depth knowledge of the market and his patient approach to answering our questions helped us feel confident in our decisions. He never pressured us into making hasty decisions and provided us with all the data we needed to make informed choices. His sharp eye for possible issues saved us from potential headaches down the line. Johns exceptional negotiation skills were instrumental in securing a fantastic home. He advocated for our best interests and helped us craft a strong offer. In addition to all these skills, Johns friendly attitude made the entire home-buying experience very positive. We highly recommend John and know that well be working with him again.
