Live From 495

In our 5th podcast, we talk to Eric O'Brien. The founder and president of O'Brien Commercial Properties. Eric shares some of his deep understanding of the real estate market in the 495 beltway. Eric discusses how even though the big players in Boston keeping trying to come into the area, they just don't know the area like the local real estate agents. We reminisce about getting work done with no modern tech and having to run to a phone booth, while it's raining, to make an important business call.
