Cris O'Brien - Local Real Estate Agent Profile & History

Communication was the key for us and Cris excelled at that. She went out of her way to help sell our property

Cris is amazing, punctual, always contactable.very reliable and trustworthy

Cris and mark were very honest in their explanation of the likely sale price. They carefully explained the sale process and updated me after each exhibition. A list of potential buyers was compiled and a sale price in excess of the initial price was achieved. A final nice touch was a gift of a hamper to me after contracts were exchanged.

Cris was fantastic from the beginning to end. She is very professional, a great communicator and was organised throughout the entire process. Cris gave great advice, went above and beyond and we got the result we expected. Thank you Cris!

Cris O'Brien proved to be an excellent agent for the sale of my property. In a challenging market, she was always looking at offering the best advice to ensure that we were always well informed. We were extremely happy with the outcome, and for that, Cris and her team deserve a huge amount of credit.

We had a great experience with Cris O’Brien – homesbyholly. Their team approach is to be commended. I know traditionally realtors are commission based and in competition with one another (even within the same agency), but homesbyholly do it differently, they share! Which means as a seller, you get the benefit of the whole agency rather than just one individual. This was a big reason we chose to list with homesbyholly…. Oh and their marketing campaigns - next level!!

Cris was easy to deal with, calm and professional in her approach, she has a lovely manner about her – I knew, if she made me feel like that, she would make buyers feel that too! 

I felt priortised by Cris, the whole way through (you wouldn’t know she has other sales happening at the same time). I would absolutely recommend Cris / homesbyholly.

Cris provided all the support I needed to sell this house. She provided great advice and made everything easy. I felt 100% supported and looked after with Cris. I would recommend Cris to anyone who is looking for a dynamic, reliable, professional and trustworthy agent.

Thank you Cris and Homes By Holly.

Fabulous experience with Cris, would highly recommend to anyone looking for an agent. Down to earth and friendly, love the Home.By.Holly family.

12 months ago we purchased our Brady bunch home through Cris, who made the whole process easy. So when it was time to sell our apartments Cris was our first choice. Amazing service. Great price. Very easy to deal with. Responsive. Nothing was too much effort. And she gave me wine. Winning!

I could not have wished for a more efficient and timely sales campsign, which paid off magnificently.

Cris O'Brien brought a wealth of experience in the preparation, appraisal and sale of my home. She was reliable, courteous and helpful at all times. Myself and family are grateful for all her hardwork.

Cris is delightful: warm, honest, and genuine. She took the time to get to know us and listened carefully to what we had to say. She understood us and our home, and as a result, developed an original, authentic campaign to take to market.
