Top Oro Valley Realtor Brenda O'Brien, CRS
| |
Brenda did an outstanding job in marketing and selling our house in this difficult seller’s market. Her web site is by far the best we have seen and indeed we sold to an out-of-town buyer. Brenda made the process very easy for us and we were always kept well informed. If we ever have to buy or sell another house in Tucson there won’t be any decision to make concerning who we choose as a Realtor – it will be Brenda O’Brien and her team!
Bob & Laurie Huxsol Home Sellers We just employed Brenda to represent us as Buyers, for the second time. Brenda once again, demonstrated superior skills and professionalism. She is the best real estate professional we have encountered, and we have done a number of transactions over the years. She is knowledgeable, assertive and tactful. During this last transaction she saved us several thousand dollars by shrewdly negotiating. We strongly recommend Brenda. Jim & JoAnn Greene Home Buyers We were very lucky to find the Brenda O’Brien team during our internet search for a good place to retire. From the beginning, with email and personal contact, O’Brien team members provided us with truthful and helpful information about the Tucson area. Pat O’Brien was very understanding and helpful as we struggled with finding a perfect retirement home; it was a pleasure working with him. We strongly recommend this outstanding, professional tea for all of your real estate needs. Richard & Grace Wilkins Home Buyers Working with Brenda O’Brien has been a delight. Her skill and efficiency made buying a house effortless. I would select Brenda in the future and recommend her team for a job well done. Joan Kamrowski Home Buyer Brenda did an outstanding job of advertising our home in all the appropriate places. She listened to what we expected regarding showing our home. She was personally responsible in arranging and showing our home that resulted in sale. 18 days from sales contract to closing! Don Dvorak & Donna Berg Home Sellers Simply put…Brenda is, by far, the best Realtor we have ever worked with! From the listing to the “sold sign” she delivered professionalism and ethics. We will recommend her services every chance we get. We can’t thank you enough Brenda. Scott Stanberry, President, Summit Financial Services, Inc. Home Seller It’s been just over a month since we closed escrow on our new home. I did want to take a minute to thank you again the fantastic job that you and your team did for our family. I think it warrants special consideration due to my background. I have been a manager for a Mortgage Banking Company for nearly 20 years, and have personally closed nearly 4000 real estate transactions. More than anyone, I know what is really “above and beyond”. I can honestly say that in my business I have dealt with many, many different Realtors, and you and your team rank among the best I have ever seen. Greg & Cindy Brooks Home Buyers Pat was great! Even though we were buying a new home, it was reassuring to have someone else on “our side”. And, several times he went above and beyond the call of duty, such as when he volunteered to pick our the granite slab for the kitchen countertops while we were back home in Connecticut. Thanks for everything! Susan and Paul Stillman Home Buyers Wilda worked to represent us as Buyers. From start to finish she was very professional. She found us a beautiful home in Oro Valley near an excellent school and helped to make our move from Phoenix seamless. We couldn’t have done it without her. Thank you, Wilda, you were awesome! McCoy Family Home Buyers Wilda was recommended to us by our son and daughter-in-law. She found them a lovely home in just a few short days before their transfer from RI to AZ and in their price range. She found our home in 1 day within our price range and took care of every little detail that was involved. We certainly appreciate the Brenda O’Brien Team, especially Wilda for all her guidance. Robert & Karen Woodall Home Buyers Many thanks to the "Brenda O’Brien Team". Wilda, who worked with us as Buyers, was very efficient, knowledgeable, professional, friendly, well acquainted with Oro Valley and found us the perfect home. Thank you again. By the way- we recommended you today! Keep up the fine work! Jody & Steve Conklin Home Buyers Brenda & Wilda understood our specific aspects of a vacation home we were looking for. They did not waste our time looking at houses that did not fit us. The first house we saw we loved. While we did look at others, the idea of "love at first sight" was the right one for us. After the contract was signed, they continued to provide quality and personal service right up through the closing. It was a great experience and we would certainly use them again if needed and will refer them to others. Ann & David Marks Home Buyers Brenda did a great job of selling our home. From start to finish she was very professional. We chose Brenda to represent us in our sale because she was the first Realtor we met that recognized what a great neighborhood we live in and priced homes to maximize their value for the Seller. Thanks again for making our sale a "smooth sail". Terry & Thea Schultz Home Sellers Wilda made out buying experience one of the best we have ever had. Thanks for your patience and guidance. Mary & Jim Schell Home Buyers Thank you so much for making our home buying such a great experience. Wilda followed up on all our request and when we flew to Tucson she has the homes lined up for us to see. We looked and made an offer and closed all within 30 days. And all from long distance form Alaska with the exception of our quick trip. Wilda is not only a great representative of the O’Brien Team, but she made it personal and it felt as we were good friends from the start. We have moved throughout the US but you office and Wilda made it our best move and home buying experience ever! Gary & Margo Danielson Home Buyers. Upon the initial meeting with Brenda and reviewing the possible listing of our home, we were pleasantly surprised with the listing price she suggested. Furthermore, we were happy to see her confidence and enthusiasm when she stated she could see it quickly. And she sis, 4 days later! She and her team followed the sale to its closing in a very professional and astute manor even after hitting a few "speed Bumps" that needed to be worked out. We are very happy with the expertise of Brenda and her team. We will definitely call upon Brenda for any future real estate needs and sincerely would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone. Ron & Connie Carpenter Home Sellers. I am glad that I chose Brenda O’Brien to handle the sale of my home. Everything went very smoothly. Brenda was completely professional and never failed to answer any question that I had. She is a top-notch Realtor in every aspect and she is a pleasure to work with. Lori Peterson Home Seller. Given the fact that I had never met Pat personally and I am a couple thousand miles from Tucson, the entire home purchase could not have gone smoother. The market was moving so quickly I am convinced that we would not own property in Tucson if not for Pat’s expertise. John Kurhajec Home Buyer. Our search for a vacation home in Arizona was difficult in how fast properties were selling, usually with multiple offers. Working with Brenda, and also with Wilda, we felt we got on the inside track, as their knowledge of Tucson properties and their energy really made a difference. When the right place became available, Brenda led us through the process quickly and professionally. Robert & Vicki Hersman Home Buyers. The O’Brien Team was a delight to work with. We are from New York and found Brenda on the web. My first contact was a call back from Wilda. She was easy to talk to and had everything arranged when we arrived in Tucson. Wilda showed us several properties, and then we saw one we fell in love with. The following morning we headed back to NY and it was Wilda who handled everything. She looked out for our interests and we are now homeowners in Arizona. I can’t say enough about the efficient way every aspect of our home buying experience was. They were GREAT. Joanne & Gino Zizzo Home Buyers. When we began our plans to move from the San Francisco area to Tucson, we used the internet to find a Realtor. The Brenda O’Brien website was the one we chose due to its friendly and thorough format. After emailing and speaking with Pat, we chose the Brenda O’Brien Team to assist us in finding a home in Oro Valley. Pat was excellent, Brenda was very helpful and professional. We will always be grateful for the quality service. We love our home. Jon & Catherine Skaug Home Buyers Brenda was the third REALTOR I worked with. The moment I met her, I knew she was special and that she would sell my place...she did. I found Brenda passionate about her profession and also a wonderful, caring human being, Her abilities and awareness were reassuring as she came alongside me throughout the process of selling my home. I felt supported in every way possible, she gave me encouragement and confidence. If you are familiar with Tucson artist Diana Madaras...Brenda is the Tucson Real Estate what Diana Madaras is to Tucson art – colorful, creative, expressive, profession and beautiful. I will always be grateful to Brenda and her staff. I feel blessed to have worked with them. Lyn Nelson Home Seller. We moved from Florida to Arizona and figured the it was going to be difficult, but the O’Brien team helped us in every way, from the great informative web site to keeping us to date on the market, etc. Wilda would always make time for us when we would come to town in search for a home. She was so professional, informative about the area, and most of all, made one feel comfortable. She made our home buying seem very smooth, even when sticky situations arose. Thank you for the opportunity to share our positive experience. Jack & Dee Berchiatti Home Buyers. The O’Brien Team was terrific to work with. Pat found us a beautiful home in Tucson that was exactly what we were looking for. Despite the fact that we were relocating from the East Coast and could not be present for the negotiations and closing, Pat acted in our behalf and closely protected our interests in our absence. He worked closely with our realty company in Virginia to ensure that the selling and buying process proceeded as smoothly as possible. It is because of the highly professional, yet personal and caring attention that the O’Brien team afforded us that we hold them in the highest regard and highly recommend their services. Jason & Susan Otto Home Buyers Pat O’Brien did a great job streamlining and expediting our purchase of a home in Canada Hills. He acted quickly and responsively to put the deal together in a very short period of time. We are very grateful. Rich Tucker & Vi Kauffman Home Buyers At our first meeting, we immediately felt so at ease. You radiate the knowledge, confidence and professionalism for success. You couldn't get any more dynamic than you already are. We are so happy that we worked with you - Top job. We certainly would recommend you to future clients. Paul & Linda Hesser Home Sellers Your services were very professional and we felt your communication with us was excellent. We have very very positive thoughts about the O'Brien Team and the Long Realty Team. John & Carol Witt Home Buyers Brenda & her team was a pleasure to work with. They answered all of our questions and continuously kept us informed during the home buying process. Brenda and her team are true professionals and they exceeded all of our expectations. It is evident that the O'Brien Team is committed to incredible customer service before and after the closing. Thanks Brenda, Kelley & Wilda!! Brian & Christine Sterrett Home Buyers Brenda grasped my objective and was a provider of information spanning over a year in time. I initially contacted several agents, and narrowed the list down to two, and then there was Brenda, who was quickly identified as being my number one choice to represent me. As expected, her performance was flawless. I respect, appreciate, and have learned from Brenda's professionalism, and attention to detail. Rick Brunette Home Buyer We were very pleased with our experience with Brenda. From the first time I contacted Brenda on the internet she was always responsive. She handled the negotiations professionally and with care. And she was very thorough and attentive to detail. We have already recommended Brenda to a couple we found looking at the development where we bought, and we would enthusiastically recommend her to others. We have done a number of residential real estate transactions over the years, and Brenda was the most knowledgeable and conscientious broker we have worked with. Jim & JoAnn Greene Home Buyers Brenda is the Best! Efficient, patient and knowledgeable. A pleasure to work with. James Sweeney Home Seller We have bought and sold several homes over the years. A friend referred Brenda O'Brien to us. Of all the Realtors we have dealt with, Brenda is the most professional, positive, knowledgeable and helpful Realtor we have ever encountered. We were in one state and the house we were selling was 1300 miles away. Brenda handled everything with ease. She kept us well informed from beginning to end. The entire process was accomplished in a very professional and expeditious manner. You can be assured we will refer your agency at every opportunity. Thanks again Brenda for an outstanding job. John & Brenda Mattingly Home Sellers I found the Brenda O'Brien website through a search and Wilda called me back the day I contacted them. She was great throughout the entire process of buying our home in Oro Valley long distance from Ohio. Wilda makes you feel confident in the whole home buying experience and made it easier than I could have hoped. She is wonderful!! Susan Elliott Home Buyer Now that we are settled in our new home, we want you to know how much we appreciate all that you and your staff did for us to get to this point. We certainly will recommend you to anyone we know who is interested in home buying in the area. Everything from the home listings that were sent to us over the Internet to all the little things like the postcards with interesting things to do and see in the Tucson area. It all made us feel welcome and that you were really interested in helping us relocate. Wilda went above and beyond with us. Never flinched when we requested anything. Never batted an eye when we suddenly changed our home style and location requests one day. Wilda was always there for us, cool, calm, serene. She was outstanding. You and your staff really made the home search and buying experience enjoyable. Beverly & Robert Jones Home Buyers Here we were in Nevada but with the constant help thru fax and telephone calls the O'Brien's were the best. Pat found our dream home for us when we came out for a week to look. He made the negotiation and paperwork go smoothly, coordinating with the sale of our Nevada home so we could move right in here. If you are looking for the "best" go with the O'Brien Team. We have been in our new home for two months and everyday we just can't believe we are in this beautiful home. Thanks again. Tom & Jan Cleary Home Buyers I had a short time frame to sell my home. A friend recommended Brenda and she came with a plan of action. Not only did she put my home on the market - she "marketed" my home. She did all she said she was going to do and more. I highly recommend her and her and her team. Mary Korsak-Harris Home Seller We indeed enjoyed working with Brenda. She listened to our needs & desires. Then she and Pat did lots of homework, showed us examples of what we requested and found a house we really felt we could make a home. Every detail was done on time and Brenda’s personality makes me feel I can call about any question in the future. Dave & Nancy Jones Home Buyers It is hard to believe that almost a year ago Marcie and I met with you in the hope of relocating to Tucson and finding our "dream home". From that very first day, we never doubted who you represented, which was with great comfort, considering our undertaking from the frozen tundra of the Northeast. We greatly appreciate the e-newsletters, digital postcards, and all of the "extra touches". Thank you for making the stressful tasks of home building and buying a pleasurable experience. We wish you and your talented team much success in your Real Estate endeavors and would gladly (and highly) recommend your services. Joseph & Marcia Kilrain Home Buyers Exceptional service from a true professional, Brenda! Gloria Engle-Hann Home Seller The services provided by Brenda, Pat and the rest of the team could not have been better. In addition to the valuable guidance they provided, they were always warm, personable, and caring. After the closing, they continued to be there to answer any questions we had, and to make our transition easier. We are impressed with the effort it took to provide such service and the genuineness of the people who rendered it. Jonathan and Lois Pasternak Home Buyers It was a pleasure to deal with Pat and Brenda O'Brien in the recent purchase of our house in Tucson. They were recommended to us by a friend and we know why. Pat was extremely patient with us as we made multiple trips to Tucson narrowing down our search to the specific area we liked. He was a good coach - not a sales guy - and always made the most of our time together. Pat and Brenda are both real pro’s. We appreciated the depth of their support structure, their follow through and personal dedication to getting the job done for us. Hal & Linda Ross Home Buyers If you are thinking about buying or selling a home, look no further than Brenda. She is truly wonderful. She continuously goes above and beyond the normal call of duty to give the absolute finest service available. Reflecting back on our transactions, we realize how awe-inspiring her accomplishments for us were. Jim & Cheryl Jones Home Buyers We would like to express our sincere appreciation for the services of you and your team in the purchase of our new home. We were impressed with the quality of the Brenda O'Brien Team and Long Realty from the beginning, you definitely made the whole process run smoothly from start to finish. In the future, the Brenda O'Brien Team will always be our first choice when it comes to selling or purchasing our next home. Thank you again for the excellent service, we look forward to working with you in the future. Rest assured we will refer your services at every opportunity. Farrah & JW Giurato Home Buyers Brenda & Pat were wonderful to work with. They were both very professional and knowledgeable. Brenda was extremely helpful. She had great insight into the homes in our market range and her area of sale. I have already recommended friends to her. She came highly recommended from a dear friend who sells real estate in Minnesota. I said I wanted the best and she exceeded my expectations. Jim Weinmeyer Home Buyer Brenda did a fantastic job of putting together a deal for us in three days! We signed papers, left the state and escrow closed without a hitch, in 30 days. Even though we were out of state, everything was handled professionally, with great attention to detail and we never had to worry about a thing. Brenda was terrific! Jackie & Jim Flowers Home Buyers The O'Brien Team is fantastic to work with. Wilda was our main contact since we were buying our first house. She was extremely professional and knowledgeable, and was a delight to work with. We will definitely recommend The O'Brien Team! In fact, we already have! Sarah Longstaff & Karl Haller Home Buyers We couldn't have had a better agent representing us. Brenda was open, honest, helpful and kept us well informed and up to the minute on other comparable sales. We were confidant we knew the market from her frequent postings. Sharon & Stan Tirrell Home Sellers Best real estate experience we ever had! We have, combined, probably had about 10 real estate "experiences" (buying and selling) in our lives. The O'Brien Team is far and away, the most professional, competent, and just plain nice people either of us have ever worked with on real estate matters. Anji Siegel & Richard Verlaque Home Buyers We would recommend Brenda anytime. I was on vacation and needed work fast. Everything was timely and without any frustration. Jerry & Arla Hop Home Sellers Having Brenda handle the sale of our home made it a happy experience instead of a trial. She and her team handled the details with dispatch and clarity, always keeping us informed on developments. We recommend Brenda highly as a Realtor. Bob & Arlene Hitz Home Sellers Long Realty was referred to us by a friend who had dealt with the O'Brien Team. While in New Orleans we contacted The O'Brien Team and immediately received a package of information on Tucson. Brenda & Wilda provided all the necessary information and time to help us find the right house. Ismael & Kate DeLa Rosa Home Buyers Long Realty is the biggest real estate agency in Arizona. If you don't believe it, just ask them to show you the figures! Sometimes the biggest isn't always the best. Brenda convinced us that SHE is the Best of the Biggest! A friend referred Brenda to us and for that we're very grateful! If it weren't for Brenda, this deal would probably not have gone through! Jeff & Lori Quilici Home Buyers The O'Brien team are experienced, knowledgeable and truly make the buying & selling a home in the Tucson area a delight. I have and will recommend and use Brenda for any real estate transaction in the future. Colleen Smith Home Buyer & Seller Brenda is patient. If clients are nervous and are not familiar with the home buying and selling experience, she patiently walks them through the intimidating process. I ended the experience with feeling of peace. My thanks to Brenda. We'll do it again someday. Paul & Peg DeVries Home buyers & Sellers The whole Experience with the O'Brien team was a pleasure with one upside surprise atop another. Thoroughness, timeliness and tenacity sum up what makes them a breed apart. As we searched for the right home for us, The O'Brien's never wavered or displayed any frustration...always finding another "dream" home for us until we found the right one together. Dave & Denise Kilbury Home Buyers We have never worked with a realtor who is so personable and professional. Brenda and her staff truly listened to what we wanted and helped us find it, even making the process fun! When presenting our offer, she proved she was the ultimate negotiator! Thanks, Brenda! Dennis & Carol Bruyere Home Buyers Brenda managed the sale of our rental property professionally and efficiently. Her extra effort and negotiating skills were instrumental in closing the transaction with our buyer. She was always in communication with us. We wouldn't hesitate a moment to recommend Brenda to anyone wishing to sell their home. Garry & Sue Lemos Home Sellers We were just blown away by Brenda's total professionalism and generosity on our visit with her. We've never seen such thorough preparation and command of one's profession as Brenda displayed and we have been around with many, many agents in the past. Dean & Christi Bradshaw Home Buyers We want to thank Brenda for the super service she rendered in the sale of our home. Brenda handled herself in a very professional way, with dedication, and always friendly. Bill & Jan Kern Home Sellers As first time home sellers we relied heavily on Brenda's expertise and in all ways she exceeded our expectations. I have already recommended Brenda to many of our friends. When we are ready to sell our next home, we plan on calling Brenda. John & Carolyn Blair Home Sellers We have already begun recommending Brenda to other prospective buyers. Breezy, candid and direct, Brenda did her homework and truly represented our best interests. We found her to be personable, knowledgeable and professional. Matt and Liz Kelly Home Buyers Moving, whether cross country or across the street, is always a traumatic time for anyone. Brenda made this particular cross country move as pleasant and as easy as it could be. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a professional agent to assist them. Jean Fortino Home Buyer We interviewed agents from three companies - Brenda was (is) head and shoulders better than the other two agents. I've had bad experience with real estate agents in the past. Brenda showed another kind of agent. She knew the property, anticipated our needs and was very professional. Sam Brindley Home Seller We would unhesitatingly recommend Brenda's services to others who are considering buying or selling a home. The entire process was accomplished in a most professional and pleasant manner. Because Brenda is so competent, the whole process seemed too good to be true! Arlin & Marilyn Albrecht Home Buyers Brenda has been wonderful to work with in every way. She stays right on top of every detail and keeps things working smoothly. She is the best Realtor we ever had! We highly recommend her!! Bob & Gail Tefft Home Sellers and Buyers We consider the day we met Brenda an incredible stroke of luck! When we were ready to buy a house in Tucson, Brenda made finding the right property as easy as turning on our computer. She stayed on top of every detail of our transaction from offer to close and kept both sellers and buyers happy through the process. Since we were 1400 miles away the entire time, having the deal move so smoothly was a huge relief. Brenda is a terrific communicator and I have never dealt with a more professional real estate broker. We only wish she were licensed in Washington as well! We could use her services here too! Steve and Sally Palmer Home Buyers Brenda insured that everything went smoothly with our home purchase. It was remarkably hassle free especially given that this was a "long-distance" transaction. If I hear of anyone relocating to the Tucson area, I will without hesitation have them contact Brenda O'Brien.

Her reputation as an honest and hard working agent is well deserved. Dan & Linda Murphy Home sellers Although we were out of town at the time we made an offer to purchase our home and a good part of the deal was completed by telephone and fax, Brenda's honesty and competence was reflected in every phase of the deal.
