A trustworthy and likeable agent from the start, during our first meeting

I chose OBrien because of other "successful" sales in my area, and was put in touch with Mark, who for sure was the right person to deal with me Our first meeting was informative, clear, and we both arrived at the same goals, a prompt sale at a realistic price There was no messing about, explanations, agreements, and photos were the order of that meeting During the campaign numerous communications and responses were always timely and informative I would have no hesitation in engaging OBrien and Mark Ashley in the future should the need arise, and would definitely refer Mark to others

An absolute professional !

It’s been a pleasure purchasing our home with Mark’s help, in fact the experience has been seamless from start to finish. From the outset Mark’s been informative, helpful and generous with his time. Throughout the transaction Mark has been on top of every detail and we would not hesitate to have him represent us in the sale of a property in the future as his professionalism is second to none.
