Testimonials

Dora is not only a 10 Star real estate professional, 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 real estate professional, 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.

I work at Amazon and we call people like Dora O’Brien Bar Raisers. It is the highest compliment we give. I am lucky my path in life crossed with the most customer-obsessed Bar Raiser of all times—Dora O’Brien. I met Dora at an open house in 2021, when owning a home in Los Angeles seemed like an impossible dream. Dora earned my trust by staying in touch, incredibly, for the next two years in a charming, never pushy style. Dora was like a patiently persistent good friend who is a trusted advisor.

Dora showed me how I could make my dream come true. I’ve done a lot of hard things in my life. Buying a home in Los Angeles tops the list. I am grateful I had this wise, gentle coach, psychiatrist and badass negotiator by my side. Dora isn’t just a gifted, bar-raising realtor. She is a life-changing dream maker.

I miss Dora’s wise counsel every day, but she is still my guardian angel, by my side in my beautiful home.

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!

MARIA HAMIDI

Dora was our real estate professional 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.

DONNABETH ALLYSON YOUNG

I’ve worked with many real estate professional, 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 real estate professional.

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 :)

Dora was and is the best to work with. She was patient with my criteria and went above to find me my perfect home. She responds quick and doesn’t miss any detail, plus brought a ton of questions and concerns up to me that I should ask!

Sarah Bailey

I would highly recommend Dora to anyone in need of a true real estate professional for either buying, selling or leasing a home.  She is dedicated, caring,  honest and reliable.  She will advocate your needs and provide representation with your best interests at heart.  Dora will provide guidance throughout the process to reduce the stress and possible complications.

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!

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 not only the most professional person I’ve met during the last 10 years of different home huntings, and moves but she is also the most patient and honest. She understands what your wants and needs and will fight for you until you are happy. She is just a lovely human being and an absolute expert in her field.

Dora was a tremendous support and expert during a major time of change. Her support went beyond just the search for a new place. That being said, I always felt that Dora had my best interest in mind and was quick to guide and protect along the way.

Dora was very helpful, patient, and communicative even though we were only renting! I whole-heartedly recommend her to anyone looking to buy, rent, or lease their property out in the LA area. We will certainly be repeat clients!

Jennifer Hatfield

Working with Dora was amazing! She was very helpful and was great at communicating with me throughout the process. I absolutely recommend her services to you all!

 Vanessa Schneider

I feel like I lucked out big time, being connected with Dora. I was suspicious that a real estate professional 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.

Dora was a great help to me and my family when we relocated to LA from Phoenix.  We were unable to travel to look at places in person and she went above and beyond to find us the perfect place.  She kept in constant contact with me and made what could have been a very stressful process very easy and stress-free.  She was happy to drive and tour the places we were interested in and sent us video tours of all of them.  She is extremely knowledgeable of the area which was especially helpful to us being new to LA.  I highly recommend her for all of your real estate needs.
