Michele O'Brien

Welcome! Tucson has been my home since 1983, when I traded Wisconsin winters for the beauty of the desert—and I’ve never looked back. I’m a proud University of Arizona graduate, and before discovering my passion for real estate, I spent 16 years as a teacher. That background shaped my commitment to communication, patience, and truly listening to people’s needs.
 
Real estate quickly became more than a career for me—it’s the work I love. Helping people buy and sell homes is incredibly rewarding, and I bring both experience and heart to every client relationship. I’ve earned designations as a Certified Residential Specialist (CRS), Graduate Realtor Institute (GRI), and e-Pro, reflecting my dedication to ongoing learning and excellence in real estate and technology.
 
I’m also deeply connected to our community. I support the Long Realty Cares Foundation and previously served on its board, giving back to the place that has given me so much.
 
When I’m not working with buyers or sellers, you’ll likely find me running or hiking around Tucson. If you’re new to the area—or just looking for fresh ideas—I’d love to share my favorite routes and hidden gems.
 
My goal as a Realtor is simple: to help you achieve your goals. Whether you’re relocating, investing, or ready for a new chapter, I’ll give you the time, attention, and expertise you deserve.
