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
"Erin was amazing! She did a great job of preparing the house and us for the sale of it. She was thorough and kept us well informed with numerous updates. Once we found a buyer, she dealt with and handled the worst home transaction (their sham of an agent) we have ever been a part of with class, dignity, and fierceness. She fought for us and made sure that we were protected and got everything we deserved in the sale."
Alan & Julie Faneca
"Erin was great to work with. She provided clear direction on what needed to be touched up and what needed to be removed/decluttered to get my condo ready to sell. Her knowledge of the local market coupled with her marketing and pricing strategy led to my condo selling above the listing price we agreed to. Highly recommend working with Erin if you are looking to sell your home and/or buy a new one."
Sarah Larkin
"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
"Erin is the Navy SEAL of real estate agents. She never quits! Need an answer to a question at midnight? She'll answer. Need her to whip a deadbeat real estate attorney into shape? She'll be there. Erin is not only the best real estate agent in Virginia Beach but she's the best real estate agent in America!"
Mike & Leigh W.
"Erin O’Brien is an absolute rockstar! As first-time homebuyers, we couldn’t have asked for a better realtor. She’s a true hustler, was always available, quick to respond, and went above and beyond to make the entire process smooth and stress free. Erin’s dedication & knowledge got us a great deal and made us feel confident every step of the way. We’re so grateful for her hard work and couldn’t recommend her enough!"
Jordan & Sophie Pilger
"My wife and I couldn’t be happier with the service, care, and expertise we received buying our first house a little over a year ago. Erin did everything she could to make the sale as simple and painless as possible by working alongside us the entire way. We consider ourselves lucky to have had such an amazing friend and mentor through the process!"
Patrick T.
"Erin has been an exceptional agent and my home sold so quickly …. A testament to her outstanding commitment to me and to the entire process. Her attention to detail - from day one through to the sale of my home - was outstanding! She made the entire process easy and as “less stressful” on me as possible. Every effort - by her - was well-thought out and successful! She’s an amazing and highly professional agent who gives 150%. I am extremely grateful and appreciative of her hard work!! She’s simply an amazing real estate agent who will work very hard to meet the needs of her clients and I am most appreciative of her professionalism, work ethic and dedication to the process. Thank you, Erin, for being an absolutely incredible agent and for all you did to sell my home! I am most appreciative and hold you in the highest regard! Thank you!!"
Linda Lilley
"My wife and I were first time home buyers. We had no idea what we were looking for, let alone what we were even doing. Just the thought of buying a house was stressful. We would conduct our own searches and had a generic idea of what we were looking for. All of this changed when we brought Erin into the picture. What we thought we were looking for, and where we were looking, would've been a disaster. Erin introduced us to the amazing team with Town Mortgage, making the process completely seamless, simple, and easy to understand. She worked multiple hours and showed us several properties, at any given time of day. She is the definition of a work horse. After a short while, we walked into the house we're sitting in now for the first time. My wife immediately exclaimed that this was our dream home. Erin dropped her entire day, drafted a contract, and escorted our dream to reality. We have our dream house in a dream neighborhood, and we owe it all to Erin. Unfortunately for Erin, we're never moving so we'll never be able to use her expertise in the future. However it is my recommendation to anyone out there that's looking for a home to contact Erin. She cares about your family, your investment, and only acts on your best interests. Thank you, Erin!"
Chris & Sally Brown
"I have known Erin for 19 years and there is no other person/realtor I would have trusted with my new home purchase. Being new(er) to the area - Erin, a Virginia Beach native took me under her wing in navigating neighborhoods (pro's and con's) as well as suggesting trusted contracted vendors when the time came. Start to finish Erin was readily available to discuss matters and offer thoughtful, objective advice. She was involved every step of the way. I was most impressed with her thorough review of contracts and the closing disclosure. She made sure I came out on top and fully maximized areas available to me. Mixing friendship with business made for a lot of laughs, an added layer of comfort and a realtor for life. I highly recommend Erin! Everyone will leave with a new friend that I've been lucky enough to have for half my lifetime."
Amy Holcombe
"Several months before my home went on the market, Erin took the time to walk through and advise me about what I should do to prepare for the listing. She even recommended contractors and a home cleaning service, who all did a great job.
While it was in an amazing location and in good condition, my home had a non-traditional layout and some unique features that made me wonder how it would be received by the market. However, Erin was confident and reassuring, which she backed up by getting a great home photographer and creating visually appealing advertising materials that highlighted the best aspects of the home. Erin's marketing and pricing strategy generated a ton of interest immediately from when the listing went live. After only five days on the market, I had multiple offers to choose from, all of which were above the asking price.
Erin was invaluable in helping me get through the whole process, and I would definitely recommend her for anyone looking to sell their home."
Chad C.
"Erin is the consummate professional. She guided us closely through every step of selling and buying. Our house was a challenging sell. She steered each process with grace and aplomb. We were quite anxious about moving in the middle of a pandemic, but Erin led us with patience and confidence. We had never experienced back to back closings for sale and purchase. It seemed a bit chaotic from our vantage point, but Erin navigated both processes for us and made it look easy. We would highly recommend her and would never consider using anyone else."
