abbeyobrien@magnoliarealty.com

Everyone knows real estate agents help people find and sell houses. It sounds simple. But a house is more than just shelter. It’s home -- where our families connect, grow, and thrive together. It’s where we meet our neighbors that become like family and where we find the community around us that bands together when times get tough. I love that I can be an ambassador for this community. Often times, I am the singular first person someone knows when they move here. It's good work. It's important work. That's why I love doing it. Nothing worth doing is easy, but I LOVE the opportunity to serve families well. "Wherever God has put you, that is your vocation. It is not what we do but how much love we put into it.” -St. Teresa of Calcutta
