Dora is not only a 10 Star Realtor, she's my Fairy Godmother who helped make my dreams and my new life come true! She went so much farther than "above & beyond", holding my hand every step of the way from really hearing my wants & needs, to searching out my dream house, and then making the deal with my best interest at the forefront. She guided the process, and her expertise was invaluable.
My particular situation was fairly difficult & involved, but she never let it show and focused on the endpoint like a laser; I never felt for a second that I wouldn't end up in the perfect place. She was one of the few people in my life at this moment whom I knew I could trust. I also knew she was "Good People" because every single other realtor, vendor, and person during the process all had wonderful things to comment about her.
The only bad thing about this process is now that I have my perfect home, I won't get to talk to Dora every day. But every time I look out onto my deck ocean view, there's a little bit of her there. Thank you, Dora, from the bottom of my heart.
My husband and I had a great experience working with Dora. We were looking for a home in LA for over a year in a very difficult market and she was incredibly patient in helping us find the right home at the right price in the right location. We greatly appreciated that she was never pushy and always put our needs first! She always took time to also explain the ins and outs of home buying to us which was incredibly helpful being first time homebuyers. We can't recommend Dora enough as a great agent who looks out for your best interest!
Dora was our realtor in selling our home this past November. Despite hesitation with representing both buyer and seller she represented both well with fairness and transparency. Dora was very hands on and communicated effectively throughout the entire selling process. She met all of our needs and made the process as smooth as possible. We highly recommend Dora to be fully committed as a seller.
I’ve worked with many realtors, both as a project manager for a construction company as well as on a personal level.
No one compares to Dora when it comes to:
-Honesty
-Loyalty
-Eagerness to help
To me that’s worth the world. If you’re looking for a shark, someone who’ll do anything for a buck, then Dora isn’t for you. But if you want an agent whose word you can trust without ever doubting whose interest they have in mind, an agent who will stay up late to make sure the paperwork is done right, or someone you can ask millions of questions and they’ll never make you feel like you’re wasting their time- then DORA is your home.
Our last experience with Dora was a purchase we did while I was abroad with a time difference of over 10 hours. Without Dora it would have fallen apart many times, but she was the connecting thread that held the purchase together- late at night and early before the sunrise. And all the while doing it with a smile, cordially, and unapologetically Dora.
Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions about my experience with Dora.
I had the privilege to work with Anthony Rollins and Dora Obrien, Keller Williams Advisors, with the sale of my mother's home. The service I received far exceeded my expectations. Dora was a tremendous help every step of the way. I found Dora to be professional, knowledgeable and personable. She provided support far beyond my expectations. She made sure I understood every step in the process of selling the home. She was available regardless of time to answer any questions or concerns I had. I can't express enough just how amazing she was to work with. Dora, you deserve the praise. Thank you for the support and just being you. You are remarkable.
I also have to give credit to the team. The teamwork was suburb. Dora and Anthony worked well as a team. Although very professional, they made me feel as if I have known them for years. They laid out a plan. That plan was followed and the home was sold within the predicted time. Every step was explained in detail. There was no guessing on my part. I felt at ease and had no worries. I truly appreciate the work they put forth. I could not have asked for a better team. Thank you for your support and effort in getting the house sold.
We absolutely loved our experience with Dora. She understood our needs, was proactive and made this whole process much easier and enjoyable. She never put pressure on us and we really felt like she had our best interest at heart. In addition to that she is truly lovely to hang out with, which is important when you end up spending your whole weekend looking for properties with a realtor.
Thanks to Dora we found a property we love in a relatively short period of time. We highly recommend Dora and if we were to look for another property we would definitely reach out to her again. Thank you Dora :)
We had the pleasure of having Dora as our agent in the purchase of our new home in Santa Monica. Dora was attentive and patient, and wouldn’t give up until we found what we were looking for. We bought in the midst an extremely competitive and challenging market, and we are so grateful for her expertise in guiding us through every step along the way. She is detail-oriented, responsive, diligent and an all around kind person. I highly recommend her! Thank you, Dora, for finding us our perfect home!
Dora is an excellent agent, and she made buying our first home in the Wilshire Corridor a breeze! We were relocating from Chicago, and Dora handled every step of the process. She gave us total peace of mind from across the country, and thoroughly answered our questions as first-time home buyers. Highly recommend!
We cannot say enough about our experience with Dora. She’s outstanding! She hit it off with Natalie and really helped us find the right home in record time. She very thorough and incredibly responsive. Always happy to answer a text or email in the evening and over the weekend. She followed up on every request and provided status on progress and the interaction with the other agent and owner. We couldn’t be happier with her professionalism and support a give her our highest recommendation as anyone’s future real estate agent!!!! Thanks Dora!
Dora is 5-stars! I feel like I lucked out, big time, being connected with Dora. I was suspicious that a realtor auto assigned to me would meet my needs and Dora more than delivered. Not only did we connect on a personal and professional level almost immediately - she hustled, did a ton of legwork and due diligence, was super communicative and most importantly felt like a partner. She used her expertise, experience and network to advise me - but we worked together on all key decisions and she considered my inputs, needs and requests. I will 100% be working with Dora again in the future - to buy and/or sell. She's a wonderful talent - great at her work and easy to be around.
