**Client Testimonials**

“Tim is a five-star professional. For those unfamiliar with the area and its real estate landscape, he is the go-to person. He has an extensive network and consistently delivers on his promises. While we initially found the local pace slower than we were used to in the Bay Area, Tim adapted to our communication preferences, ensuring we stayed informed. His support post-transaction has been invaluable, providing contacts and assistance as we settled into our new home. For those not local, having someone like Tim is essential. We highly recommend him and his team.”
— Hans Klein, Homebuyer in Lake Almanor West, 2015

“Tim O’Brien exemplifies excellence in real estate. His honesty and realistic approach are refreshing. Having lived in the area for so long, he possesses nearly native knowledge. We purchased an older cabin, which presented challenges, but Tim’s innovative solutions ensured a successful outcome for all parties involved. His office is welcoming, with family involvement and a commitment to local charity events. You won’t regret working with him.”

“Working with Tim O’Brien was a delightful experience. He was highly responsive to our inquiries and continued to assist us long after our cabin purchase. His market awareness allowed us to act quickly when our dream home became available, enabling us to make the first offer and secure it. We are grateful for his guidance.”
