Testimonials
Having been very satisfied with your flat-fee listing program some years ago, we were delighted to find the service was still available when we came to list our condo in 2009. Once again, we couldn't have been happier. The listing you provide on numerous websites for a flat fee is extraordinarily good value and highly effective in attracting potential buyers, But what truly sets 4 Sale Realty apart is your helpfulness and sound advice throughout the listing and negotiation process, at no extra charge. Your friendly responsiveness is rare not only in the real estate business but in any profession. We would wholeheartedly recommend your service to anyone. Thank you so much.
Jim & Elinor Forbes.

Being a lawyer myself, I do feel everybody needs a lawyer to close, for a
couple hundred dollars you get an experienced attorney to look over your
shoulder as you sign sheet of paper after sheet of paper. Do you need to
spend THOUSANDS on a real estate agent, Heck No!. I decided that for $500 it
was worth it to try out this listing service. It was quick and easy to list
my property, my agent answered ALL of my calls promptly. I had 12 showings
in three days and signed a contract on day three! And just so you don't
think I priced my house to low, the buyers tried to get a mortgage for over
asking price and the bank said no, the bank appraised the house at exactly
asking price. I SAVED $7500 on commission. I would do it again his way in a
heartbeat.

Dear Quin,
I am writing to let you know how appreciative I am of your professional, efficient, and kind service. Your competence was so reassuring. Everything you said you'd do, you did (and promptly as well). This level of honesty and competency is not always found in the business of real estate. Your advise was "right on" and your manner was so compassionate. All the best wishes and a huge Thank You!
Bill & Gretchen, Indian Head Park.

I didn't know what level of service to expect for the flat fee I paid. However, throughout the process Quin's service continually exceeded my expectations. Quin was very accessible for questions (of which I had many). He usually picked up the phone on the first ring and if he wasn't available, he returned the call very quickly and with good advice. I dealt with a lot of buyers' commissioned agents during the process of selling my house and in my opinion, Quin provided much better service to me than those agents were providing to their clients. I am a believer.

Quin, thanks for all the help with our FSBO listing. You were fantastic to work with from start to end. You have the best flat fee MLS listing service around. Thanks again for all of your support.

The scheduled closing date is xx/xx/xxxx and it was all by owner - no realtors involved but you. We did have tremendous traffic with realtors and I'm sure your help in getting everything on-line and the addition of the virtual tours helped tremendously. We averaged one showing per day and sold it within a month. It was a pleasure doing business with you.

Quin O'Brien has been an unexpected help in the listing of our home during this past year. While I connected with Quin through a third party, his service has been invaluable. The advice Quin provided has far exceeded my expectations, and frankly what I thought I was paying for. Quin is so much more responsive than other realtors that I have encountered. And He has proven his integrity through the advice and the service he provided. He is easy to talk to and has always been able to explain a procedure, a strategy, or a thought process in a way that has helped me to move forward. I am sure that he can do the same for you

I am happy to say we closed on our house on September 5th. Finally. A sincere Thank You from both me and Dana.
Your help and support throughout the whole process and multiple listing periods was testament to the fact that there are still great
real estate professionals out there. Your service and personal attention was refreshing in a rather difficult time for us.
Thanks again and best regards.

We finally closed today on the sale of our house. Maureen and I just want to thank you for the major part you played in getting our house sold. We have never met you face to face and you have never seen our house other than on the MLS listing, however, you always treated us as if we were your only client. You answered all our calls in a timely manner, you answered all our questions and gave us exceptional advice. We will forever be grateful to you and have already recommended you to a couple of people and will continue to do so in the future. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
Gratefully,
Jim and Maureen, Cary
............................................................................................................................................
Just to let you know, we did close today, thank goodness! How nice to have that behind us!
I just have to tell you, we have bought and sold a number of properties with other full-service realtors, and you are definitely among the best. Even though we used your "by-owner" service, we always got your very best, prompt service and you were fantastic at answering all of our questions and getting things done when we needed them. You are exactly what we were hoping for when we signed up for the "by owner" MLS service, which truly was all we needed on this property. Thank you again for everything -- you can be sure you'll be hearing from us when it comes time to sell again!!
Sincerely,
Dawn & Gary, Carpentersville

I'll be happy to sing yours and the FSBO praises to the sky. I will tell you - I am totally amazed how easy you made this for me and better yet - yes just like the commercial I saved $5500 in commissions.
God bless you and thanks so much,

I would definitely pass your information along! Your attitude is just superb and very friendly. I know that may have nothing to do with how quickly our property sold, but customer service is so important these days and you definitely meet and exceed my expectations! At a time when I could be a wreck with worry, you answer questions thoroughly and politely making the whole experience more pleasant. Thank you so much!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your help in the sale of our home. I find it refreshing to do business with a firm that conducts itself in such a professional manner. Your firm was quick to react to our questions and needs and your follow-thru was complete.

We are telling EVERYONE about your wonderful service. This was so much better than going with an agent and having to pay him/her the extra commission. We are only paying the realtor who actually sells our house. We were able to do whatever marketing our agent did, and to much better avail. We were listed with him for almost 10 months and went through an horrendous experience. We sold in about 60 days (in the worse time of the year also) and got more showings in 60 days than we did in 10 months with the agent. We also had a little leverage with the selling agent. After all, we did not have an agent and did need one to get into houses to buy.
If we ever sell again, this is the way we would go. It's the best of both worlds!!!
Marianne, Hoffman Estates

Testimonial:
This was my first experience with FSBO, and I was especially concerned with
whether it could work for a downtown condo in my price range. I had over 40
showings in an overbuilt market, and was pleased with the results I
received. You were highly professional and responsive whenever I needed you,
even though your revenue was modest.
In short, you personally made this experience pleasant, and the FSBO process
worked very well, saving me the entire Listing Agent commission of
approximately $18,000.
I would highly recommend any seller utilize FSBO, but would especially
recommend you as the FSBO broker.
Thanks again for an excellent experience. Please feel free to use this
testimonial any way you wish.
Dick, Chicago

You are the best man!! Trust me, I got a deal from a passer by and will not
have to pay any commissions to anybody. But just doing business was a
pleasure and well worth the $450 bucks. Be assured you will get a lot of
business from my friends.

Quin,
This is the fifth home I have sold through you and I would not think of doing the next one any differently. Your service is simply amazing and you manage to do it all for a very minimal fee. The traffic through the homes have been great, clearly an indication of how you wrote the advertising. Each home sold in less than a month and the last one in less than a week thanks to you staying on top of things and some pretty effective negotiating. Please use us as a reference if you ever have the occasion.
Thank you,
Les & Maggie, Deer Park.

No need for the commercial, hands down your are our favorite realtor to deal with. Next time a friend of ours is selling a place we will be sure to pass your info along. As for us hopefully we won't be needing to move for a long long time.
Thanks again,
Mike, Westmont

Dear Quin:
Words can not express my sincere thanks & appreciation for all you have done for Suzanne and I. We will not forget all the kindness you have extended to us. I hope over & over that I get the opportunity to recommend you as a Realtor. You are great but more important - Honest.
Sincerely,
Marilyn, Mount Prospect

Quin,
I just wanted to say thank you for all of the work that you did for us. We have already referred people to you that may sell their homes in the near future, because you really did provide excellent services and were always on top of things.
We also appreciated your advice as things came up during the sale process.
Next time we get ready to sell, we will be calling you.
Thanks again, and please let us know if you need any testimonials!
Lisa & Robert, Schiller Park

Thanks, Quin. I will definitely refer your services to friends and family. I have to say that when I signed up for FSBO, I did not expect much if any interaction with the listing agent. You have greatly exceeded my expectations. I truly appreciate your quick response times, advice and professionalism..you made the process very easy for me.
Thanks again.
Rusty, Chicago
