This past summer, my cousin and I were faced with the frightening task of selling my father’s house following his death. The house was fundamentally beautiful, and it was situated on a lovely piece of land, but it had been neglected for years, stuffed with an impossible number of belongings, and most worrisome of all, both my cousin and I live hundreds of miles away from Tucson. Brenda and her team took on this project with astonishing speed, efficiency, elegance, and grace. The entire sale was closed less than three months from the date of our signing on with the Brenda O’Brien team, and their performance in every aspect of the process was simply outstanding. I would recommend Brenda and her team, without any reservation whatsoever, to anyone who wants to enjoy a smooth, satisfying, and profitable home-selling experience. I have bought and sold a lot of real estate in my life, but Brenda is, without question, the most capable, personable, and trustworthy realtor I’ve ever met.

Lisa did an outstanding job for us. Lisa is very thorough, does her homework, and provided us with a thorough review of the Tucson real estate market. In addition, she is one of the nicest agents we have ever dealt with. We didn’t buy anything this trip, but love Tucson and will eventually buy there—-with Lisa’s help. Lisa is a great add to your team and she will do very well for Long Realty.

Thank you VERY much to Michael! Don and I both want to say how impressed we’ve been all through this process working with you. In our 43+ years together, we’ve bought and sold many homes and worked with realtors who were good as well as really bad. You were the best and we appreciate all you’ve done and continue to do.

We very much appreciated Michael handling the home buyer process for us. He handled the inspections and checked on house once sellers vacated. Over and above is how we see it. We are so glad we picked the Brenda O’Brien Team. Michael was awesome and so were the staff in office. We felt welcome and respected. The contacts we made from the various services we could use, told us how much they like working with O’Brien group. It’s like a big family that we are now a part of.

We had an excellent experience dealing with Aspen with the Brenda O’Brien Team as our agent in buying our condo in the foothills last winter. First, she was very personable, pleasant and responsive to our needs especially dealing with her long-distance from Argentina. Thru the search process she was diligent and even though we ended up buying outside of Oro Valley and condos are not her specialty, she helped us get what we wanted. She has a more relaxed style, not pushy, so I would say she fits well specially with buyers who have a pretty good idea of what they are looking for. Aspen was also very professional and reliable dealing with the offer and closing process, again from a distance, and we communicated very well throughout the whole process.

We were very pleased with the professionalism shown us during the entire process of selling our home. Brenda is a very down to earth person and made the difficult task of listing and selling a house a pleasant experience. We were also very impressed with the professional way the listing appeared in a notebook showing a little about the subdivision as well as the events and opportunities within our nearby community. All questions were answered completely and thoroughly by Brenda and her office staff. Closing was explained very thoroughly and the date was set far enough in advance to allow us to adequately prepare for it. Brenda also arranged to have our Utah home closing at the same time so we were able to sell and buy at the same time. Again, thanks Brenda for a very pleasant and professional home selling experience.

I’d like to say thanks to Brenda O’Brien for so efficiently marketing and selling my home. After no action from a previous Realtor, and upon suggestions of friends, I turned to Brenda. She fully lived up to the recommendations of two friends who had very successful experiences with her – keeping me informed, fully advertising, open houses, giving “all out attention” and within just 31 days she had a sale! All inspections and details were well cared for, making it an easy transaction. Follow up has been so pleasant and I feel I’ve made a friend whom I’d like to recommend to anyone needing her knowledge, thoroughness and service.

We have bought and sold dozens of houses over the past 30 years. Working with Brenda was certainly among the best agent experiences we have had. Great ideas, creative approaches, use of professionals in marketing and constant communication made this our best real estate experience. Sold home in a few days with closing less than 30 days from listing. Recipe for success, price to market, hire Brenda!!!

We needed to sell our home quickly to claim the corporate incentives attached to our company’s relocation package. We choose Brenda because she was the top seller in Oro Valley and we were not disappointed. Our house sold in 8 days during a very slow house selling slump! Brenda suggestions to “stage” our house and her marketing strategies really made the difference. Bottom line, we couldn’t have done it without her and neither should you!!! Place your confidence in Brenda. She can sell your house!!!

I wish to express my deepest gratitude to you and your team for selling my home. From the moment we signed the listing contract I encountered the highest professionalism, care, enthusiasm and passion in you. You sent a professional photographer. You advised me about furniture arrangement and it made a tremendous difference. My home sold within 2 days with a very good price in spite of the depressing economy. I would like to thank you and will definitely recommend Brenda highly to my friends and family members.
