I had the great pleasure of working with the O’Brien Team for the buying and selling. From day one, each team member was willing to drop everything and go look at houses. I appreciated the honesty and opinions of each house we looked at, and it was a lot. They truly cared about what I was going to be buying and not just trying to get the sale and collect the commission check. Sara was the most patient realtor and had the best outlook on everything. When it came to selling my place Jared and Aubrey were amazing. My only complaint would be my place sold too quick and I didn’t get to work with them longer. I would absolutely recommend the O’Brien team to anyone who is looking to buy or sell!

Whether you're looking to buy your forever home, sell your current home, or both--The O'Brien team provides exceptional service! Jared, Aubrey, and Nick go above and beyond to ensure everything goes as smoothly as it possibly can, while guiding you through what to expect throughout the entire process. I highly recommend this team!

I can’t say enough good things about the O’Briens. We were selling a property from out of state and they made the process extremely smooth. There was never a moment where we were not communicated with and they were always upfront and honest about the process. They should be your first call, you will not be disappointed!!

We had the pleasure of using the O'Brien Team for selling and buying a new family home. They were very good with accommodating times that we needed and getting all our questions answered. We were very happy with their service in listing our old home and then fining our new forever home! We can not thank the O'Brien team enough for everything they have done to make this process happen. Will be recommending to everyone for buying and selling!

Aubrey and Jared were an awesome team to work with! Anytime we saw a listing we liked, they jumped right on over there to preview it for us. It was like having inspector gadget (Jared who is extremely knowledgeable in reasons not to pick a house like soil grading and potential structural problems) so you know you aren’t getting a lemon, plus all the amazing realtor skills and charisma, perfectly-timed jokes/memes, moral support and hope from lovely and hilarious Aubrey that kept us going on days where we felt like giving up. They just weren’t the homes for us.

Once we found THE one it all made sense. The market is still crazy, y'all. But with the extremely helpful guidance of the O’ Brien team, also Cindy Hanlon (who was also amazing and recommended by them) at CEFCU for staying late to remove our contingency and help us with a bridge loan, and of course the grace of God, it happened! We bought our home somewhat sight unseen while still living in North Carolina, in a small time window waiting for our kids school to get out. Talk about a challenge! Pfew! They didn't make it feel that way. It was all seamless and we loved the family photo gift we received in our packet. A nice touch. We couldn’t have done it without them. So grateful we put our trust in them. Thank you both sincerely for helping us find our (hopefully) forever home. We SO appreciate you. Give them a call ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

We had the best experience with the O'Brien team! We are first time home buyers and had so many questions about the buying process and what to look for in a good home. From the start, Jared answered all of our questions and took the time to take a deep look at each home we were interested in. There were even several homes he pointed us away from! After several no's, we finally said yes to a home in Eureka that fit our needs. Between inspections, making offers, paperwork, and every detail of buying a home, we had the best support from the O'Brien team. I will always recommend them to future home buyers!

We have been working with the O’Brien team for over a year trying to find our first home. Jared was always willing to help and be flexible with our schedule. I appreciated how detail oriented he was looking at things in houses that we wouldn’t have known to look for. When Jared wasn’t available, Nick was a great help, as well and was very kind. During closing of our first home, we also worked with Aubrey who was so helpful and willing to answer any and all questions. We would 100% recommend the O’Brien team to anyone who is house hunting and are so grateful to have worked with them. Thank you!

The O'Brien Team is a fantastic group of professionals to work with! I could not have had a better experience as the buyer of my new condo. I was most impressed with Jared's knowledge, expertise, and patience in answering my many questions. He was very prompt when answering my calls, texts, and emails - even outside of typical office hours. Aubrey's knowledge and experience made my closing a breeze!

Having a realtor you can trust is so important. What I valued most with the team was I knew they always had what was best for ME in their minds. I could not recommend them more!!

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!

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.

She was knowledgeable in different aspects of each house based on her past experience and wasn’t afraid to share her concerns with us. When it was time to negotiate, she had our best interest and fought for us to get the house we wanted. She added a tremendous amount of value to our house hunt and we are very thankful to have worked with her.

Aubrey and Jared are a seller and buyers dream realtors! They are always available for phone calls and texts. They were so patient with us, showing us numerous houses until we found just the right one! We’ve referred them to everyone we know because they are the best!

Nick is the best! He was thorough and professional and great to work with. He kept us apprised about available appointments and always let us know as soon as a new one came on the market. Nick was honest and forthright - no games. After dealing with a few other agents and being disappointed, we felt lucky to find Nick.

My wife and I had a great experience with the O’Brien Team, both buying and selling our homes. Jared and Aubrey worked very hard for us, going above and beyond in all aspects. Keri was also very helpful in coordinating the inspections, closing, etc… the whole process went very smooth. We highly recommend using this team!

We love working with Jared and Aubrey. They helped us sell our home and even when we had some issues that could have turned out against us they made sure to do whatever was needed to make it work and it did. They also helped us find a perfect lot and builder and find a business location. They are always available to answer questions and we would highly recommend them to help buy or sell. We know we can count on them always...

Nick and the team made what my wife and I assumed would be a difficult and complex process of purchasing our first home a breeze. There was great communication throughout, and we were able to act quickly together on certain tasks to meet our preferred closing date. Even after we closed, Nick went above and beyond by contacting the garbage company for us to have a large barrel removed, something wet certainly didn't expect but appreciated. Thank you, O'Brien Team!!

I highly recommend the O’brien Team! I was a first time home buyer and they made the experience so seamless and fun. I worked with Aubrey, Keri and Jared during my home buying journey and felt connected to each of them. They helped educate me and truly consulted to make sure I got into the right home for me. I felt like I had an advocate during the negotiations and felt they were transparent and fair during the whole experience - exactly what you want during such a big purchase. Whether a call or text, I always got a quick response with any question I had - big or small. I’ve recommended them to friends who also reported back having a great experience. By the end of your home buying experience with these realtors, you’ll feel like family! I also love what this team does for the community. I feel like they go above and beyond in everything they do. Keep up the great work O’Brien Team!

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.
