O'Brien Realty The Best of Southern Maryland Testimonials

She contacted me every single day on rentals that were available as well as meeting up with me to show me the rentals that were available. She cared about my knee and one of the type of property that I needed to rent and she is a definite asset to the company.

All the times we have gone out to look at homes and you still are sticking with us. Keep looking for us , you have been great and so helpful. We look forward to finding our home with your help. Thanks again for ALL the hard work. B

He took over the job from former property manager, Jimmy Hayden, who was not doing his job well at all. This review is about Roland who took over and kept us informed, was always available to answer any questions and to deal with any issues that came up for us or our tenants. Roland is professional while also being friendly and very knowledgeable about anything related to being a property manager. We were very happy when he took over the job and tended to all our needs. If you have a house to rent or are looking to rent, I highly recommend using O'Brien and Roland Mellies as your property manager.

I think it must have been divine intervention because George turned out to be exactly who we needed to successfully find the perfect place to call home in the Solomons area. He wisely started with asking what was important to us in a home and developed what was essentially a “checklist” of wants. Throughout the home search, George helped us to stay focused on “checking the boxes,” knowing that we would probably be disappointed if we settled for something less than our ideal. We are very happy with the outcome of our search and feel like we have a true friend in George. He met our needs and exceeded our expectations for a real estate professional but also treated us like family.

He is very responsive, knowledgeable and reliable. I highly recommend him as an agent.

Almost a year of dealing with our pickiness & indecisiveness & she always showed us the perfect homes for what we were looking for. Not to mention the relationship/friendship we’ve built with her along the way. Our family adores her!

We bought and sold our home with Dawn and if we ever moved back to Southern Maryland she would be the one we called! I would highly recommend Dawn and the great people at O’Brien!! Thanks again Dawn!

She was always willing to answer any questions and was extremely patient with me. Whether we had to see a house 5 min or 50 min away she wouldn't hesitate to go see it with me. Honestly couldn't have asked for a better real estate agent than her!

Her response time was impeccable and she was able to answer any questions we had during the purchase of our new home. I would definitely recommend Jaymie!

We will recommend her to friends and family who are looking to buy a home.

She's very thorough with everything she does and provides great advice for various things.

I knew from the first time she said sat at my kitchen table to discuss my options, she was an honest, knowledgeable and definitely a “No Pressure Realtor.” She told me her thoughts, advised of what I should do before listing and we went to work. We worked together but even when there were things that arose that I thought I would handle independently, she was right there asking how she could assist. When the home inspection revealed a septic issue, Vanessa did not back away. She worked her magic and provided resources to see how we could continue to move forward. With every date and time a contractor and/or county inspector was scheduled to show up she was there. As big as this issue was, I never felt alone in my decision-making, nor awaiting the outcome. Vanessa Gill not only listed my house, she walked this path with me - every step of the way. I’m so happy I followed my gut and mentioned her name to a dear friend, who confirmed, “she’s good people.” I am also forever grateful that I met her and will say again, I consider her a friend! SOLD!!!

Klein is so professional and you can tell he is dedicated to his clients. From start to settlement papers I had no worries as he kept in touch with me at all times and if there were any issues he contacted me via text and personal call. I would recommend Mr. George Klein to anyone buying or selling. Thank you Mr. Klein for keeping me at ease at all times and your professionalism and dedication to not only your job but to your clients whom you make feel like family.

Roland who was my property manager helped me out a lot with the property I was renting. 100% recommend.

You're amazing! Hands down best Realtor ever!! *****

George was super helpful for us as first time home buyers. We came into the buying process knowing very little and George was always happy to answer our questions and to set up a viewing anytime we found a house we wanted to see. George was also always willing to meet us on our schedule to look at homes (including on a holiday weekend). George ultimately found the home we purchased, helped us negotiate an offer quickly in a tough market, and made us feel comfortable throughout the entire closing process. Cant recommend George enough!!

Cindy looked at our home and gave amazing, perfect recommendations to get it ready for an optimal sale. We followed her instructions to the letter; then she did light staging at NO COST which was the icing on the cake. It's all about results: THREE offers in THREE days and SOLD! Sold in just 3 days, folks! She walked us through every step of the way, was compassionate with my unexpected bout of loss for my beloved home (why was I crying, it was a great deal??!!), and was there for us after the sale. She helped us find an agent in another State. My five-star rating is not given lightly, she earned each star! Smart people will choose Cindy!

Being completely new to Maryland, we relied on George's knowledge of the area to help us pick the right neighborhood. Also, given the state of the market, George helped us stay positive in finding our forever home. He did just that and more. We highly recommend George to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a house in the Southern Maryland area.

He made the buying process so incredibly easy, which is saying a lot in this crazy market!! From recommendations for a lender, walking us through the inspection process and constant communication - we couldn't have asked for a better agent!

If you are looking for an agent who really cares for her clients and their families give her a call!

Very responsive, very professional, an all-round great person! Highly recommend.

My husband and I moved here from San Diego. We were unable to come look at houses in person so she did Skype tours of all the houses we wanted to look at and made sure to point out any flaws or anything that may need some maintenance. She was very helpful throughout the whole process!

As we were new to Calvert County real estate, we feel very lucky to have found Vanessa with her extensive knowledge of the local market and her wide network of trusted contacts. She was not only extremely responsive to our needs, Vanessa is also very resourceful in resolving issues with a particular strength in negotiating the deal. Looking forward to the next deal with Vanessa!

Aside from being an over-all pleasent and relatable person... She was a GREAT agent that I will surely use again for any future needs. She really listened to what we wanted without being pushy. Very tentative and responded quickly to my questions and concerns, which was important to me as i was a first time home buyer. She was also very quick to act on homes that we were interested in.. I can go on-and -on, but long story short... If youre in need of a realtor, jaymie is your gal. THANK YOU, JAYMIE!

Klein was extremely positive. Despite the state of the market, he helped us keep our hopes up in looking for the right home, all while remaining receptive to our needs and limitations. Positive and honest, George Klein was an excellent agent that i would gladly work with anytime.

Communications were frequent and very responsive. Willing to work with her again in the future. Looking forward to building on the land.

We were hesitant about moving forward with purchasing an Jaymie was patient and always ready to show us properties without pushing. When the time came, she was very responsive an quick to set up the appointment, put together the proposal, submit and follow the negotiation every step of the way. Once the offer was accepted, Jaymie was quick to set up the inspections. She was always present and ready to provide answers and give us guidance when we need it them or even with out us asking, she was always there with the right recommendation.

We were in a time crunch and she wasted no time showing us houses and working showings around our schedule. She recommended an amazing loan officer, David Hall, who also was phenomenal at getting us in the house we fell in love with! I cannot say enough positive things about either of these folks!

She helped us prioritize our needs, ensured we found a great lender, measured rooms with us, and even toasted with us when we closed on our home. She made the process fun and a lot easier then I ever thought it could be.

She listens, she learns your dynamic and your needs. She is quick at scheduling your visits and quick at doing paperwork for negotiating. She is super knowledgeable at doing the right moves for a perfect negotiation. She is the right Realtor!

Both were always on time, yup on time, quick to respond to questions, patient, and honest! I highly recommend anyone wanting to buy in Southern Maryland contact Marc Pare' and anyone wanting to rent must go through Obrien Realty and Mr. Mellies. I highly recommend these two gentlemen and their firm!!!

From our first meeting to discuss listing our house, we knew Marie Lalley was the right agent to list and sell our home. She had done extensive research on our home, the community and comparables before we met. Her knowledge of Southern Maryland and in particular the 7th District real estate market is second to none. She listened to our needs and budget and offered advice with professionalism and tact. We were extremely impressed with the amount of time and effort Marie and her team put in once we signed a listing contract with her. The amount of photos and video produced to market our home still amazes me. When the listing went live Marie kept us well informed on all showings and feedback from prospective buyers. When we received an offer, Marie's knowledge and experience was outstanding and helped us through the negotiations. Her guidance through the negotiations and subsequent inspections and requests was top notch. Marie kept us updated throughout the entire process, from contract signing to settlement and even after. We couldn't be happier with the process and outcome of our home sale. I honestly believe Marie's steady hand and experience kept my anxiety of a home sale and move to a minimum. If you're looking for an agent who has your best interests in mind Marie Lalley is the right choice.

She was very responsive to all questions at anytime. She went out of her way to help solve problems. Laura helped us sell our home and buy our forever home. Laura is very knowledgeable about all processes and is a very good negotiator.

Very Knowledgeable

Their rental agent was very attentive to my requirements and made sure to only show me houses he knew would suit my needs. The property manager Rolland was always respectful and very quick to respond should I have any questions. 10/10 would recommend!

Whether you are renting, buying, selling or are transferring through a military assignment, our agents are extremely knowledgeable and dedicated to excellent service. Come stop in and let us show you the expansive inventory we have to offer!

Our budget, timeline, and life plan changed in the process of finding a home and Vanessa handled it like a champ. She was supportive and flexible, knowledgeable and caring. She stayed on top of our ever-changing whims and provided the guiding hand that helped us find the perfect waterfront home.

I hope we can do more! She is definitely top notch!

I just want you to know that you have been fantastic in this whole process and I tell individuals how great you have been as my Realtor. Yes, I have heard some individuals comments about their dealings with Realtors and how they were not happy. You have went above and beyond in the process of selling my property. I really appreciate your work ethics and all you have done to make the sale of my home so quickly and as smoothly as possible. Again, thanks so much for all you have done.

She has her own inspectors whom she works with that made my process move smoothly She helped me purchase my first home and I'm forever grateful.

No complains!

Through her extensive personal and professional relationships, she quickly connected us with a local builder. She negotiated a contract that incorporated all our requirements, worked with our tax needs, and brought us the price than we had hoped for. We couldn't have asked for more!

! Very knowledgeable and helpful with buying a house.

My husband and I are first time home buyers and Barbara Click is so very helpful and Dave Hall has also been helpful. I can email text or call either of them any time of the day and they do their best to get back to me in a timely matter. I would recommend O'Brien to anyone!!

She goes above & beyond to make sure her clients are happy! We originally had a contract on another home that fell through, Cindy was patient with us & we ended up finding a home we're in love with. She wants to make sure it's a good fit for her clients & she doesn't just rush you to make a sale! She is patient & works very well with the other agents involved to get her clients what they need & want. Both offers we made were excepted on both homes. Hands down, she is the best!

As first time home buyers, needless to say, we were in need of a lot of assistance. She is extremely patient and supportive. Considering the competitiveness of the current market, I couldn’t have dreamed of a better agent advocating for us. We ended up putting contracts on two homes. (The first of which we chose to negate after receiving the results of the home inspection) The first house had multiple offers within days, however, Cindy knew how to strategize effectively to land us the contract. As for the second home that we are currently living in and couldn’t be happier with, Cindy went to great lengths to help us secure this home. It is truly our dream home. If you’re looking for an agent that’s responsive, dedicated and knows the market well, Cindy more than fits the bill.

Got us our dream house in our desired price point and put us in touch with a fantastic mortgage lender who also exceeded expectations and was extremely responsive.

It was never a problem getting in touch with Tiffany.

Thank you

Dawn managed the sale of our family's water front property. Her attention to detail and personal touch to provide the appropriate visuals and written explanations of our water front property promoted the sale in a timely manner. Within weeks, we had a contract on our family's property. During the closing, Dawn Wood's real estate agency provided additional support with legal information concerning the deed and necessary paper work to transfer the property to the new owner. Dawn's strong interpersonal skills was critical while supporting my family's decisions regarding this property. I would recommend Dawn Wood as a real estate agent for my family and friends.

Kept us informed of new listings and was ready and willing to set up a walk thru for us. He always kept us informed of what was going on once we had an offer accepted. If we are ever in the market to buy something else he will be the one I call.

Thank you for all the help. We will tell our friends about you.
