    ABOUT ME

    I'm Christian O'Brien, a relocated professional who moved south from Syracuse, NY to Tampa. With a bachelor's degree in Advertising & Public Relations, I get what first-time home buyers actually face—the uncertainty, the questions, the pressure to get it right. I've walked that road myself, and I use that experience every day to help clients navigate their first purchase with confidence. Today, I channel that perspective into my role as a licensed Real Estate Advisor at Engel & Völkers Tampa Downtown, where I focus on making the buying process clear, manageable, and stress-free.

    Christian was a huge help throughout the entire process of finding a place to live. He made everything easy, answered all of my questions, and helped me find a place that was a great fit for what I was looking for. He was responsive, professional, and genuinely made the whole process a lot less stressful. I’d definitely recommend Christian to anyone looking for help finding a new place!

    We knew after the first conversation about the home we were selling, that Christian was the agent for us. He did a great job selling our home so we were more than happy to use him to locate our new home. He was always available at short notice to see a property as soon as it became available. When we saw the home we purchased at 3pm, we were in the home within a short period of time. We made our offer that night. (After seeing many homes that we did not chose). We were able to be very blunt about our expectations and he exceeded all of them. Thank you Christian Eric DeMarche.
