What our customers have to say?
Claudia Reinhart
I highly recommend Eileen and her team to anyone looking to sell their house, especially if it’s your first time. Eileen guided me with steady support throughout the process. She is professional topped off with kindness, support, resourcefulness, and attentiveness. I hope she never has another client like me….she went above and beyond helping me manage my tenants through this process for 3 years. I imagine most house sales are routine and Realtors don’t have to cheerlead their clients through the process….I needed a cheerleader and guidance and I am so grateful to Eileen for “wearing so many different hats” so well for so long. Thank you, Eileen

Nan Solanki
We’ve known & worked with Eileen since 2019 (Yes! we looked & looked & looked for the past two years before we purchased our first single family home & closed in October this year! And Eileen was with us all along on our journey. Patient, Resourceful, Helpful, and above all a Great human is how we’d describe Eileen. So glad that she was there for us throughout. In Eileen’s words – home buying is a very emotional journey & it has to feel right. She truly believes that & always gave us the space. There was never any pressure or a feeling of urgency on her part. She made arrangements to bring us to multiple showings during the pandemic & even accommodated our requests to see places more than once. Eileen is a seasoned realtor & has her knowledge up to date on what are the requirements to sell & what are typical concerns when buying in the market we were looking for – Pacifica. She always offered her honest opinions on every listing we went & saw together, bringing her vigilant approach to each home we saw together. Eileen is a family friend now & We wish Eileen the very best. If you are considering Eileen – rest assured you are in good hands!
Allison Goodwin
Quite simply, in my experience, Eileen is everything a realtor should be. She represented our home with complete integrity and utmost professionalism. I have never encountered a salesperson who works harder or smarter than Eileen O’Reilly. Throughout the process, she picked up our calls, promptly returned our texts, and was savvy, proactive, and completely reliable. Eileen knows the market and shows enviable follow-through. She earned my trust and I do not hesitate to recommend her. I would definitely hire Eileen again. Last but not least, Eileen has a great personality and is a lot of fun to be around. Go for Eileen O’Reilly. You won’t regret it.
Benjamin Smith
I can’t say enough good things about Eileen. She was professional, friendly, responsive, knowledgeable, and a calming presence in helping us sell our home, and all while we were out of state. She made a potentially very stressful process seamless. Maybe most of all, she’s straightforward and a grounded person, unlike some realtors out there!
Tami Fisher
From the first phone call to the final successful offer (and beyond), Eileen was a stellar realtor. She was clear and direct, asked great questions, and got to know my needs and wants through a long house hunt in a tricky and super competitive market. She was a straight shooter on offers that seemed low or high but I also felt like every decision was mine, if expertly guided. She knew the Bay Area market well and directed me to neighborhoods I hadn’t considered. She walked through every house with a trained eye, pointing out hidden expenses and desirable features. Once I finally found my dream home Eileen was there for me through offer and counter offer, all the way to closing while on vacation. I’d work with her again in a heartbeat, and would (and have) enthusiastically recommended her.
Sebastian Tricaud
Eileen has been more than helpful all the way from the first meeting to the last (hum, shall it be the last? she is such a nice person!). She knows the local market very well and could tailor our needs so well. We have been really fortunate to work with her and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a house. She was recommended by a friend of us, and she has been above expectations. She helped us on every front, and could tell us when to wait, when to rush, when to pay attention to some critical steps. I am sure we would not have had our house today if it was not with Eileen.
Karen Kelley Day
Eileen negotiated a deal where I bought and sold a house simultaneously. It made the moving process much less stressful. Once I owned my new house she was extremely helpful with suggestions of contractors. She even helped me measure my windows for blinds.
Stephen Foster
Eileen helped my family sell my deceased mother’s home. She was caring, knowledgeable and professional during this difficult time. She took the time to truly understand our situation and our specific concerns. She listened to our ideas and expectations and used her expertise to create a very successful plan to sell our property. She quickly took charge and expedited all repairs, painting and landscaping needed to prepare our home for listing. She strategically scheduled open house tours along with private viewings for prospective buyers which resulted in the quick sale of our home for an optimum price. In fact, we received multiple offers and she sold the house for much more than the asking price. We were very pleased and extremely impressed with the eventual outcome. I would highly recommend Eileen if you are planning to sell or buy a home. She is more than a real estate agent. She is a trustworthy advocate for your needs. Thanks Eileen!
Eric B
It was A LOT of work – repairs, disposal of property, difficult escrows, utility issues, etc. Eileen not only took charge of these items (which was not her primary responsibility), but she handled it all with grace and total professionalism. Her judgment is excellent and her work ethic unsurpassed. She seems to have an answer for any issue that arises. If she can handle these six sales, she can handle anything.
