8.5/ 10
Very good
Recommended without reservation
A 25+-year Maple Grove veteran whose electrician/housing-inspector background gives real technical edge on rural, acreage, and lakeshore deals.
Pros
- ✓4.9 stars across 66 reviews on HomeLight
- ✓26+ years of experience and roughly 1,200 career transactions
- ✓CRS, ABR, SRES, and GRI professional designations
- ✓Unusual hands-on background (electrician, licensed housing inspector) genuinely useful for older or rural properties
- ✓153 transactions in the last 3 years alone (over $56M in volume)
Cons
- ✗Team model ('The O'Brien Group'): you may work with a team member rather than Becky directly
- ✗Price range skews solidly middle-market ($175K-$660K); not a luxury specialist
