April 10, 2024 // Franchising.com // MADISON, N.J. - ERA® Real Estate announced today its latest affiliation with O’Brien Realty ERA Powered.

The firm is led by owner and principal broker, Mike O’Brien, who first founded the company in 1980. O’Brien is not only a real estate expert but also a Vietnam veteran who spent his early professional career working in finance with multiple Fortune 500 companies in Downtown Manhattan. After leaving city life behind, O’Brien planted new roots on the beaches of Southern Maryland, where he has since grown one of the real estate networks in the region, with over 100 agents working directly from his offices.

Assisting him in leadership is Vice President of Development, Toni Lowman. Lowman has spent her entire real estate career by O’Brien’s side. She trained with the company and became licensed as a real estate professional in 2016. Since then, she’s quickly risen through the ranks and now manages the company’s Calvert County offices.

Throughout the company’s forty-year tenure, the O’Brien agents have developed expertise in several areas of real estate. O’Brien himself has an in-depth background in land development and over 20 years of experience in the mortgage and title business. Mike and his agents are also well-versed in new construction, waterfront properties, farms, and land sales as well as residential and commercial transactions. Their service area covers all of Calvert, Charles, Prince George’s, and Saint Mary’s counties, where they have a history of working with many active or retired military clients based on the nearby military installations including PAX River and Andrews Air Force Base

Now as part of the ERA Real Estate network, O’Brien and his full-service company’s affiliated agents will be able to utilize the brand’s business-building tools and leverage the most up-to-date marketing programs to connect buyers and sellers.

O’Brien Realty ERA Powered has succeeded for decades largely thanks to its company culture focused on not only professionalism but also enthusiasm. Every affiliated agent is driven to provide the best services possible, and they take great pride in creating a seamless transaction experience. To O’Brien and his agents, real estate isn’t just about business; it’s about welcoming buyers and sellers into their company family and having fun while doing so.

The firm’s main office is located in California, Maryland, which sits along Chesapeake Bay on the shores of the Patuxent River. The area’s residents can enjoy a relatively quiet, suburban lifestyle with plenty of parks and beaches nearby. The region’s economy is largely fueled by government employers, partly thanks to its proximity to the nation’s capital. Some of these major employers include military installations such as Andrews Air Force Base and Naval Air Station Patuxent River, as well as other large institutions such as the University System of Maryland and Exelon, the nation’s largest utility company.
