Matt O'Brien is an excellent realtor. I've bought 2 homes now with Matt's help, the first being 10 years ago after a friend referred him to me, so when we started looking for a house upgrade this year Matt was our first call.There's a lot I really appreciate about Matt and his approach:- Matt is always clear and concise in explaining the myriad complexities of buying a home, and patient with all of our questions. It can be a daunting process but he's an excellent guide through the journey.- Matt doesn't rush you as you're are going through the searching process. He takes the time to learn the things you're looking for in a home, not just to calibrate the search to fit you, but he would often bring up things we hadn't really thought about based on his experience with houses.- Matt's very engaged and responsive, and would regularly reach out with houses he'd seen come up that he thought we might be interested in. Once we were in escrow he was very thorough with deadlines, task lists, and helping us stay on top of the priorities of the day- Matt really understands the San Diego home market, not just in regards to different areas and communities to help look at, but the speed at which it can move and types of things that can help you stand out.- Matt clearly loves his work and has a great sense of humor, and that really helps take some of the stress out of the journey.

Matt was a word of mouth recommendation from a co-worker. My spouse worked with him for a townhome purchase. Matt is personable and remained in communication via text, calls, and emails throughout the entire process. He has an open door policy and continues to assist us even after the purchase of our home. You can be confident Matt will get you through your next home purchase with professionalism and patience.

Matt O’Brien is the best! He has helped us with three homes, both selling and buying, and is an extraordinary real estate broker. He saved us money on our purchased home and negotiated good increases on both our sells. Matt knows excellent, realistically priced workers, to perform all required repairs and enhancements that sped the sale of two of our houses. He also was quick to manage the reduction of the price of the house we bought. After using Matt the first time, I always listened to his advice the second and third time on what would assist a decrease on the buy and increased price on selling because he was always right about what would work. Matt is impressive in that he stays totally up-to-date on all the required legal documentation, attending classes to stay current. He often had to have the other broker re-do documents because they did not meet current requirements. He was always available to discuss any questions we had and quickly followed up with the other brokers for us. I can highly recommend him as a broker and have done so with neighbors who then were also very impressed with his help and negotiating skills. Matt O’Brien is the realtor you want on your side!

Matt is everything you could want in a real estate agent: experienced, patient, attentive, honest, organized, communicative, readily available, and dedicated to your personal and financial needs.We first met Matt at an open house in 2009 while searching for our first home. With no agent yet, we decided to work with him, and we’re so glad we did. Despite low inventory in our desired area, Matt patiently and diligently assisted us for 8 months until we found the perfect home. We loved the house he found for us and the process of working with him.Nearly 15 years later, when it was time to sell our first home, we called Matt without hesitation. After moving out of state in 2022, we turned the home into a rental property. After two challenging years as landlords, dealing with disorganized, unresponsive, and unprofessional contractors / services, Matt was a complete breath of fresh air. We knew immediately we had made the right choice in working with Matt.Matt reviewed the property and presented several strategies for preparing it for sale, from a simple refresh to a full remodel. Based on Matt’s advice, we chose an intermediate approach, planning a mini remodel before listing. Managing the remodel from out of state seemed daunting, but Matt made it smooth. He sourced and managed contractors, vendors, landscapers, and stagers while personally selecting finishes, colors, and fixtures. He kept us updated with detailed reports, maintained meticulous records, and treated our money as if it was his own, often finding ways to save us money. I can’t imagine going through that process without Matt. Matt kept the project under budget and the quality of the end result gave us confidence in our asking price. The house showed extremely well, generating high buyer interest thanks to Matt’s expertise. We received multiple offers and ultimately sold well over the listing price.Our experiences with Matt, both buying and selling, were outstanding. I cannot recommend Matt enough.

Matt goes above and beyond! This is overdue! We met Matt in 2012 when we bought our home. Since then Matt has helped our children each buy their Home and Condo. We can't say enough about Matt. We recently sold our home with Matt representing us. He made the home sellable to get the best price possible. Matt had free reign as we moved out of state to retire. He always kept the budget in mind looking out for us. We entrusted Matt with every last detail. He went above and beyond. Matt even made a trip out of state to help us purchase our new home. His knowledge is invaluable. Matt is now part of our family forever. Thanks does not even express how grateful we are.
