Meet Patrick O'Brien

Patrick O'Brien is an experienced Chicago real estate broker representing buyers and sellers throughout the city, with particular expertise across Chicago's North Side and extensive experience with condominiums, single-family homes and residential investment properties.

With more than a decade in residential real estate, Patrick brings a detailed, thoughtful approach to every transaction. His work is concentrated across Chicago's North Side, including Edgewater, Uptown, Lakeview, Lincoln Park, Andersonville, Rogers Park, Ravenswood and Lincoln Square.

Patrick's experience spans a broad range of price points, from first-time condominium buyers to sellers of luxury and higher-value residences. Regardless of price, his approach remains the same: understand the client's goals, know the market, pay attention to the details and provide clear guidance throughout the process.

For sellers, Patrick takes a strategic approach to pricing, property preparation, positioning, marketing and negotiation. For buyers, he looks beyond the surface of a property to help clients better understand what they are purchasing and the factors that may affect its value and ownership.

Patrick has been recognized as a Chicago Association of REALTORS® Top Producer and has built his business through long-term client relationships, referrals and a commitment to informed, highly personal representation.

Before entering real estate, Patrick spent more than two decades as the owner of From the Center Pilates, a Chicago-based business he founded in 1994. His years as a business owner and instructor shaped the client-focused approach he brings to real estate today: listening carefully, communicating clearly and helping people make well-informed decisions.

Experience That Goes Beyond the Listing

Chicago real estate—particularly condominiums—requires understanding more than square footage and finishes. Patrick helps clients evaluate the larger picture, including association finances and reserves, special assessments, rental restrictions, building condition, property taxes, comparable sales and other factors that can affect both value and ownership.

For sellers, that same attention to detail informs pricing, preparation, positioning and negotiation. For buyers, it means looking beyond the photographs to understand the property they're actually purchasing.
