Mary O'Brien, Sales Associate

We're in California and needed to sell our rental home in Providence. I spoke with multiple Realtors and Mary was so much better prepared than anyone else we chose to list with her. When it came time to sell she was on top of every detail assuring the closing proceeded without drama. There was potential for drama throughout - a 3-family rental brings lots of moving parts to play - but she surmounted each obstacle with ease. Put Mary O'Brien on your short list of listing Realtors. She's a pro who represented us better than we expected, and truly earned her commission. I wish I could choose 6 stars.

It was certainly a pleasure working with Mary to sell my condo. She is very knowledgeable in all aspects of her job. She has been a good friend to my son, his wife and my granddaughters. I will miss her smile and professionalism until I have the pleasure of seeing her at my granddaughter's next piano recital. I would recommend Mary to all looking for an energetic get the job done agent to complete the sale or the purchase of their home. Best of luck in the future Mary. Keep in touch.

Being a first time home buyer I was very nervous about the process of buying a home. Mary was incredibly helpful in explaining the nuances of the transaction and making sure we had all our bases covered. She was always there for us when we needed her and went above and beyond when working with our lender. I am so happy with our new home and have Mary to thank for helping making our purchase go so smoothly. I

We were set up with Mary through my relocation package. My fiance and I are both in our mid/late twenty's and we were both first time home buyers. Mary was extremely patient with us and helped us gain knowledge to make the appropriate decision. We absolutely love our first home (clementine, too!) Thank you, thank you!

Mary was super friendly and geninuely caring. She helped us sold our starter home in less than a week on the market. In addition, she was very informative and responsive at all time. She made our selling process super stress-free, in terms of contract of sales, inspection, & etc. Furthermore, she was very organized and patience! She's such a kind-hearted soul, that was an extra bonus in having her as our selling agent.
