About James O'Brien

"Jim O'Brien was my Realtor for both the purchase of our Greenwich home and the sale of our investment property, also in Greenwich.

When purchasing our home, Jim's patience, Real Estate knowledge of Greenwich,understanding of its Land Use regulations and his experience in the construction industry relating to kitchen remodeling and footprint expansion were impressive and valuable to both our transactions with him.

When selling our investment property, Jim's dealing with our tenants was professional, friendly and courteous. Jim's construction knowledge greatly helped us prepare the property for showing, resulting in a Listing to closing in an unbelievable 43 days. He also garnered multiple bids.

I look forward to working with Jim on future Real Estate transactions and would recommend him to any seller or buyer of Real Estate.

Please call if you need further articulation.

Jim did an outstanding job helping to prepare, market and sell two of my homes.

The first one was in Cos Cob and sold in three days with backup bids.

The other was a Ninetheenth Century Colonial near the water in Riverside. Jim used a period photo to market this one, showing the original wrap around porch with Gazebo which had been removed decades prior. We had two bidders and the purchaser eventually renovated my beautiful old home to its original grandeur including adding the porch and Gazebo.

I highly recommend Jim to anyone selling their home.

I do not believe I would have received the price I got if Jim had not helped me with the renovations my home in Old Greenwich desperately needed before listing it. He helped with great suggestions and had a network of wonderful contractors.

He then hired a professional photographer which showcased my home beautifully to all.

His marketing was truly professional, knows the ins and outs of the Old Greenwich lifestyle and communicated it beautifully to the buyers. His business mystery truly showed itself when it came to negotiating the final price

He priced it so well that a mini bidding war ensued. Thus guaranteeing the highest price.

I recommend Jim to anyone listing their home.

My name is Joseph Forte I have been a Real Estate broker on Martha's Vineyard for more than 25 years.

In 2012 Mr. James O'Brien of Raveis Real Estate was hired as our agent by my family to sell my mother's home in Greenwich Ct. Mr. O'Brien is what I consider a full service broker, his strong construction background was instrumental in the sale of our family property. He was presented with many obstacles; lead paint, radon, asbestos, water damage, and other construction issues found in an older home. His attention to detail and marketing of the property was exceptional, he was not deterred by the many problems that he faced.

The Raveis company should be proud to have an agent of Mr. O'Brien's expertise in listing and selling property. He made the selling of our family home with all the emotion that goes with it a seamless experience. We would not hesitate to hire him again, and I am in fact recommending him for the sale of my aunt's home.

Thank you,

"To Whom it May Concern:

We used Jim O?Brien as our broker to sell our house on 88 Milbank Avenue, Greenwich, CT 06830, and he couldn?t have been more professional, painstaking, creative & tireless in his approach, which resulted in the sale on October 25, 2019. We had many unusual issues that Jim?s background in engineering as well has construction, and a lifetime of living in Greenwich was often used to our advantage. We feel confident in recommending him to anyone who wants the best in knowhow to sell their real estate property.
