ZillowVERIFIEDWe have worked with John on several real estate transactions (buy and sell) over the last 20+ years and have been very happy with the end result each time. As the sellers agent on our most recent home, he took the time to walk us through the process given the unique market conditions in Seattle and our specific neighborhood. He brought expertise in pricing, staging and what needed to be done to prepare the house for sale. In addition, he had a list of experts ready to help. John did a great job marketing the house and working with the buyers agents to secure a timely outcome. Hes patient, thorough and willing to go the extra mile to get the deal done. John took us through our journey from first time buyer to our more recent higher end sale. I would recommend John to any buyer or seller with complete confidence!

ZillowVERIFIEDMy husband and I had an exceptionally positive experience working with John to buy our first home. He prioritized educating us both on the process (market knowledge, neighborhood insights, home improvement costs, and strategic non-negotiables), and empowered us to make the right decisions for ourselves. He is enthusiastic, and willing to move at whatever pace you choose. Coming out of the process, I'm confident we'll be happy in our new home, and so much of that is thanks to him. I absolutely recommend working with John if you're looking to buy in the greater Seattle area!

ZillowVERIFIEDMy 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!

ZillowVERIFIEDJohn 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.

ZillowVERIFIEDAs 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!
