"I could not say enough great things about Brian O’Connor at Compass Brian is personable, knowledgeable, highly experienced, and very professional. My husband and I are first-time home buyers and we had an initial consultation with Brian to discuss what we were looking for and what was to be expected. He quickly grasped what my husband and I were looking for in a house and fine-tuned the searches so that all listings we viewed were relevant to what we wanted. What I loved best about Brian is that he is very communicative. I am a very inquisitive person and he was very patient in answering my endless questions. He was always responsive to emails/text/phone calls and he is great at explaining complex subjects in layman terms. He never once try to sway our opinion and only provided facts so that we can make the best decision for ourselves. Brian worked around the clock from beginning to end and he always kept my husband and me updated on the process and what is to come next. Compass offers professional easy to understand presentations when doing neighborhood analysis and at closing, they even offer concierge services to help set up utilities for recent homebuyers. As we approached the closing process, I really appreciated how Brian helped coordinate the communication between the lender and title company. Towards the end it was wild, and if it wasn’t for Brian I would have been running around like a madwoman. My husband and I are very VERY happy working with Brian. I thought we would have to overpay within this competitive market but with Brian’s stellar negotiation skills we bought an amazing house with everything we wanted within our budget. I’d like to give a HUGE shout-out to Brian O’Connor at Compass! I would highly suggest him to anyone that is searching for the perfect home in the Austin area!" - Margaret + Rotha

"Our experience with Brian was nothing but the best. He went above and beyond in helping us throughout the whole process, was constantly available through emails whenever we had even the smallest of query. He made sure we were attended to even when he was not working and had someone help us when he was not available. We genuinely loved working with him and hope to do so again in the future." - Kriti V.

"Brian O'Connor is such an important person to my wife and I. He helped us throughout this experience in more ways than I could have ever imagined. Very thorough and professional every step of the way and motivational when things were getting tough in the Austin market. He was always willing to meet us at various locations despite time and distance and was also willing to discuss things at any time. He is more than our agent. He is our friend and a very important piece of this journey into first-time homeownership for my wife and I. I can't thank him enough for all of his efforts and couldn't recommend a better agent to work with. Thanks so much, Brian!" - Matthew B.

★★★★★
"Brian did an amazing job of helping us narrow down our search to the homes that would meet at least 85% of our wish list. He then was very accommodating in scheduling the showings, so it did not require me to miss too much work. He provided a very comprehensive analysis of the market value for each house before we wrote an offer. This helped us feel very informed so we could confidently make the right offer. Once we found the best home, Brian worked with the selling realtor to arrange for all the inspections we needed. Brian also stayed on the mortgage company to be sure things moved as quickly as possible. Then closing finally arrived (after a lot of pain and stress); Brian walked me through the process very clearly to be sure I knew what was expected. Yes, I would highly recommend Brian to everyone I run into. Very good experience." - Greg W.

★★★★★
"I cannot talk any more highly of Brian! Being a first-time home-buyer in this market has been a journey, to say the least, one that my husband and I wanted to throw in the towel in on very soon. If it wasn’t for Brian’s positivity and persistence to keep us going, I don’t think we would be calling ourselves homeowners. Brian walked us through every little process and took the time to educate us as first-time buyers. He helped us assess our needs and did not ever pressure us into something we didn’t want. Never were we felt like an inconvenience or like another dollar sign. You can tell Brian truly cares and if you really want a Realtor that goes above and beyond, look no further." - Jozi P.

★★★★★
"Brian was an excellent agent to work with. My wife, Erin, and I were first-time home buyers and not very knowledgeable about the ins and outs of the process. Brian went out of his way to explain the whole process in great detail. He was very patient with all of our questions. We had decided very early on that we would go with a new build. Brian understood what our likes and dislikes were and would go over to different builders and try to identify properties we would like based on our budget and taste. The house we eventually bought was also a "great Brian find." He even looked up nearby grocery stores we frequent. We know any time in the future, if we are buying or selling a house, Brian is definitely going to be our real estate agent." - Vaibhav P.

"My husband and I decided it was finally time to look for a place to call our own after living in Austin for 6 years. Brian O'Connor was recommended to me by a friend. Brian put together a great presentation and spent time asking us what we want, and we knew nothing as first-time buyers. We immediately felt confident in his knowledge. And then covid happened, with all the uncertainties we put our house hunting on hold. Brian was very understanding and periodically checked in on us but gave us ample space to make the decision whether we were ready to resume our search. In early November, we were ready. Brian again set up another call to see if our needs had changed, which they had since we were both working from home due to covid. Once we found the place we loved, he quickly drafted up the offer letter and worked very closely with the seller's Realtor. Brian gave us daily updates through the closing process. We never felt unheard or rushed or ignored. A month after we moved in, Brian checked in on us to make sure we were settling in and happy! What more can I say? Brian is amazing!" - Nuzhat S.

★★★★★
"Brian went well beyond the requirements of a great Realtor. Brian worked for us at every turn and kept us on track throughout. He explained everything, all the ins, and outs. I would recommend his services to anyone. He went the extra mile for us. Thanks, Brian!" - Lyn N.

★★★★★
"We gave Brian a five-star rating only because a six-star rating was not offered. His commitment to selling our home was outstanding. His determination to help us make the right decisions throughout the process was greatly appreciated. He continually went above and beyond our expectations." - B. Darlene

★★★★★
"Brian is the best! My family was moving from Chicago, Il to the Austin area, with a car full of pets and furniture in storage. As our Buyers agent, Brian spent a lot of personal time to video review homes for us before we could get down to Texas and a lot of communication with us before we ended up with the perfect home for us. Austin is a very hot market, and we had several offers fall through. Through the process, Brian protected our interest, never rushing us until we ended up with a great home in Liberty Hill, Texas.
I am an Attorney who has done somewhere over 50 closings and several other real estate transactions, and I can honestly say this was one of the easiest and most professionally done transactions. This was due to the professionalism of Brian and the other professionals he had recommended to us. I highly recommend his service, whether you are buying or selling. I am recommending him to everyone I know coming to central Texas! " - Chuck

★★★★★
"Brian worked with us for over 2 years and was extremely helpful and proactive. We were month to month and in no rush to purchase, so Brian had to go look at dozens of homes with us and was always accessible. It was a complicated endeavor, but Brian was able to explain every step of the process and expertly guide us into our new home. When it comes time to sell this home and purchase another, there is no question who I will be contacting." - Jason M.
