Erin’s Story

I grew up in Virginia Beach with real estate in the family, so I learned early that people matter more than transactions. I also learned that preparation is everything.

Before real estate, I worked in the NFL. That experience taught me how to stay calm under pressure, communicate clearly, and execute a plan when the stakes are high.

Eventually, I came home for roots, community, and a career built on connection. Today, I help Buyers and Sellers across Coastal Virginia make big moves with confidence, clarity, and a little celebration built in.

What Clients Say
"I'd give Erin ALL THE STARS, not just this lame 5. Shopping for a home or listing a home can be stressful. Can be. NOT WITH ERIN. It's like hanging out with a friend or family member, as you know she'll give it to you straight and she's going to be looking out for your best interests. How do I know? Because we're already friends and whenever we recommend her to other friends, they become lifelong friends and clients of Erin's. Once you've gone through the process once with her, whether it's buying OR selling, you'll not want to go anywhere else if and when you need those services again. In our case, she's done both for us and we couldn't be happier with the job she did on both ends. So if you're looking for a realtor who knows their business in and out and will be your biggest ally/advocate/friend/counsel through the entire process and beyond, look no further. And when you close, her service doesn't just end there. She'll always be there to help you with any of your needs after the sale is complete. She wants to make sure you are completely happy and satisfied with your experience. Again, stop digging. You found gold. Erin O'Brien is the right realtor (and friend) for you"

Pete & Amanda Ayala

"The saying not all superheroes wear capes is a perfect way to describe Erin. This was our second transaction with Erin and I truly cannot thank her enough for all her help and support throughout selling process of our home. From the first meeting we had with her to the closing table she kept us informed and up to date with what was going on. The way she explains everything and the resources she provides you with make it all so easy to understand! Erin will always be our favorite and only realator!! We cant wait to buy that vacation home in a few years!!"

Sarah & David Meadows

"From the moment we started talking to Erin about selling our home, we received the most personal and dedicated service. Erin took the time to look at our home and give us recommendations for things to do in order to prepare for the sale. She was in constant contact as we prepared the home, sending us routine updates on how the market was moving in our area and an idea of what we could expect. As we moved through the selling process, she was by our side 100%, explaining every process in detail so we rarely had the opportunity to ask a question. We never felt confused or overwhelmed because she was always right there to explain everything. The amount of attention she gave us and our home cannot be overstated. Although Erin is an astute professional, I always felt like I was talking to one of my best girlfriends or close family members. She just makes you feel that comfortable. I will continue to recommend her to everyone I know because everyone should experience this level of service."
