"My search for a home began a year before I found my home. In that time, I found several homes I loved and was interested in. Each and every time, Bob provided me with all the information I needed to determine if I should submit an offer. He also did it with lightning speed. No matter what time it was or what day, Bob was there to answer any questions or provide clarity. Instead of owing, I received money back at closing. Bob has made it clear that he'd still be available after closing. He was extremely helpful and continues to be."

Buying - Forest Hill, Maryland October 2020
"It takes forever to close, he promised 30 days and it took a lot more. I am tired of excuses. His team doesn't know how to communicate, especially when it comes to checking attachments. The loan site did not upload some of my documents, I still had to email them to be put in the folder after several tries. The closing papers were processed at the last minute, nobody was sure if we were going to end in time, I literally signed the papers on the 45th day at 19:00! Never ever use this team again nor recommend it to anybody."

Buying - Sparrows Point, Maryland August 2021
"I do not give praise lightly. Marines never do. Mr O'Connell, however, was nothing short of amazing during our closing. I cannot recommend him and his impressively clutch team of specialists highly enough. The dedication and resourcefulness of him and his team, and his teams ability to adjust fire while on the move (so to speak) were the deciding factor that lead to a successful closing which hit a paperwork snag while in underwriting. Undeterred, Mr. O'Connell and his spectacular team set about the problem and had workable solutions in record time. The pride and professionalism exhibited by him and his team are almost palpable. If this is to be viewed in public, stop your search here! Mr O'Connell will see you through!"
