Jared & Aubrey did an amazing job for us helping us find a new home! Patient & knowledgeable. Quick to help with any questions & get us into any homes we wanted to see. Really got to know & represent us well, even helping us say "no" to a house we wouldn't have wanted, but were feeling a bit desperate for at the time. Very blessed to have had them!

Jared and team are amazing. They were very patient with us as we looked at many houses. As first time home buyers our budget wasn't very large so we were searching for a fixer upper. Jared brought some home maintenance and repair experience to help us sort through which problems were too big for us to handle. Never once did we feel pressured to make an offer on a home, rather Jared was quick to criticize some homes when we needed it. In the end, we found a great home in our ideal location!!! To top it all off, when Jared found a small leak in our kitchen sink, he brought the parts to fix the leak to our closing. That's the kind of personalized care that the O'Brian team offers.

The O’Brien team made my first experience selling a home wonderful! I was worried since I didn’t understand a lot about the process, but Jared slowed and simplified everything down when I needed more explanation. Aubrey was a whiz at knowing the little touches our home needed to sell for the best value possible. I was blown away by how painless and easy the whole experience was. Their photographer also did a stunning job representing our home. We got far more than we expected, and so easily, thanks to this stellar duo. Loved the impeccable communication, support and respect!

We were recommended The O’Brien Team and they made our relocation to Central Illinois a breeze. They were able to get us into all of the showings we requested right away. Jared was extremely responsive when communicating with us while Keri was great with our closing process. The entire team was great to work with even while we were a few hours away. I would not hesitate at all to recommend the team in the future!

The O’Brien team made our home buying experience a great one!
We hadn’t bought a home in a while, so didn’t quite know what we were in for. With Aubrey at the helm, it made the process go smoothly for us. We had plenty of houses to look at (not weird ones that didn’t fit, but just what we were looking for).
In short, the O’Brien team did so much work behind the scenes for us that, by the end of the process, we were wondering why it was so easy. Every T-crossed and I-dotted, so to speak.
Here we are now, in our new home, and we could not be happier. Our sincerest gratitude to Aubrey and the rest of the team for their kindness and dedication from start to finish. Best home buying experience in our lives. Well Done!

As first-time homebuyers, we were incredibly grateful to have the O’Brien team by our side throughout the entire process. What could have been a stressful experience transformed into an exciting and enjoyable journey, all thanks to their support!

From the very first meeting to the final closing day, their expertise and dedication were evident. They patiently answered all of our questions, provided invaluable advice, and guided us through each step with professionalism and warmth. It's clear that they genuinely care about their clients and are passionate about what they do.

If you're considering buying a home, we wholeheartedly encourage you to reach out to the O’Brien Team. Their personalized approach and unwavering support make all the difference. Thank you, Keri and the entire O’Brien Team, for making our dream of homeownership a reality. We look forward to creating countless cherished moments in our new home!

I had the good fortune of having The O'Brien Team as my realtor when selling my home. Jared was my agent and Aubrey was representing the buyer. Both were involved and gave me such comfort knowing they are honest, genuine and extremely knowledgeable people. Thank you Jared for your patience even when I was asking so many questions!
I couldn't ask for a better experience. Selling or buying a home can be an emotional time but knowing you're dealing with a company that cares makes such a difference. Kari kept me informed and on track for the closing. This was truly a painless process. I wholeheartedly recommend this Team if you're in the market to buy or sell a home.

After 2 long years of trying to sell our home and find something that would accommodate our growing family, we were about to give up, we called The O’Brien Team and after meeting with them we felt confident that this time we’d be able to sell our home, as a joke we said your not allowed to sell it within a week, 8 days later we were called and told an offer has been made and that we needed to find our Home like we had discussed!! Without this amazing team we would not be in our HOME, and after 7 years they are still in contact asking how we are, the kids are, and if we are still enjoying our home.

Our home looked incredible in the listing with tons of photos, including aerial drone photos. We sold our home in a week with multiple offers. In the buying process, they were available to show us homes quickly so we didn't lose the chance to offer on the right fit for us. We couldn't have asked for a better, more smooth transition. At one point I was even told, "you don't have to worry about it, that's my job". That's exactly what you need to hear when buying and selling a home. They are truly the dream team of home sales.

Nick Hughbanks rocked my home selling experience!!!! He fully explains things with the utmost patience every step of the process. Though he had many listings at the same time as mine, he treated me like I was his only client. Red carpet service. Attentive, caring, and professional.

Sara is one of the best people, in any position from any company, that I've ever worked with. We worked together for MONTHS. She was constantly making herself available no matter the circumstance, and considering how fast the homes were being sold at this time that was extremely important. In fact, that was the only reason we got the house we are in (first to see it, immediately made an offer). I am a huge nature buff and put a lot of emphasis on the yard, and she even prepared herself to join me in walking the property line no matter the weather. Paperwork from the team was fast, very well explained, and even through a small hurdle with the homeloan Sara was right there to ensure it was quickly corrected on our behalf. Couldn't recommend this team enough.

I was told that buying a home, especially your first home, can be stressful, but nothing is further from the truth! Buying our home was SO EASY with this team, especially Sarah McDaniels. She understood exactly what Matt and I wanted and helped us explore homes and navigate the bidding process. She and the whole team were so nice and helpful. Lol, she even somehow found a ranch house in our target price range and area with a full finished basement for my husband and it came with a cat for me (long story, but yes, she listened and knew us THAT WELL.) Even my father AND father-in-law were impressed!

I bought my house in 2019 after moving back from Colorado. Let's be clear -- moving back, I had no intention of purchasing a home. Didn't even think I could afford one, let alone did I feel that I was prepared for the whole process of actually procuring one.
This is where Sarah with the O'Brien team came through CLUTCH. She walked me through many a house, pointing out positives, negatives, and everything in between from her personal and professional experience. She was so flexible and readily available to meet/talk through any issues, concerns, or questions I had. She guided me (more like took the reigns) through the inspection processes, the negotiating, and all else that I truly could not have gotten done on my own. In the end, I found a great little place in a great neighborhood, and was left feeling satisfied while minimally exhausted, thanks to her efforts. If she is representative of the O'Brien team with Jim Maloof as a whole, I 100 percent vouch for and would recommend to any homebuyer, but especially first time buyers who may feel apprehensive and unprepared to take on such a venture on their own. Boom. How's that for a review?

I had the pleasure of working with Aubrey O’Brien, of The O'Brien Team with Jim Maloof Realtor, for both the sale of my previous home and the purchase of my current one, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The entire O’Brien team is friendly, hard-working, and knowledgeable. Aubrey went above and beyond to make sure my husband and I were satisfied.

From the start, Aubrey made us feel like a priority and was available to answer any questions we had. She provided expert advice and guidance throughout both the selling and buying process, making what could have been a stressful experience a fun one.

Aubrey was incredibly attentive and listened to all of our needs and wants in a home. We were not in a hurry to move and had a long and specific list of wishes including a pool, lake or pond, walk-out basement, acreage, that was close to Peoria, with neighbors and good schools. Talk about a challenge! Aubrey showed us a variety of houses, over a long span of time, never giving up until we found the perfect one.

Aubrey’s expertise in the Central Illinois market, attention to detail, and strong negotiating skills were instrumental in getting us the best deal possible on both the sale of our previous home and the purchase of our new one! I was impressed with her ability to efficiently handle all the details and communicate effectively with all parties involved.

I highly recommend The O’Brien Team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in this area. They truly are the best in the business, and I am grateful for their dedication in helping us find our dream home.

The O’Brien team made our first home purchase experience fast, simple and easy. They were timely and patient with every question we had about the home buying process. Keri was very reliable and thorough when it came to the small details of buying a home that we had not known or thought about. She took all of our wants and needs in to consideration and made us a huge priority. The communication through Keri and the O’Brien team was amazing. We were always in the loop and always knew when things needed to be signed or when things changed.

The O’Brien team has given us the best possible experience through the buying/selling process each time we have used them. Jared and Aubrey know “their stuff” and because of this they alleviated so much stress that could’ve been part of the process otherwise. They are very professional but also personable, the perfect type of people to work with. I highly recommend using them for any of your real estate needs. You’ll be glad you did!

My husband and I sold our first home we had lived in since 2004. I knew right away we made the right choice with the O'Brien team! The process was so easy and Jared was there with us the entire way from start to finish. I cannot say enough positive things about my experience with the O’Brien team! It did not matter that we were selling over the 4th of July weekend and our home was not a million dollar listing. Our family felt the dedication of this team and would recommend them to anyone looking for a great realtor team!

My husband and I both loved working with everyone at the O'Brien Team. They are knowledgeable, organized, and truly listens to you. They offered great advice when selling our home and patiently showed us an obnoxious number of houses when we were looking. I would highly recommend them to any of our family and friends for their real estate needs. It is truly like working with friends.
