OBrien Real Estate has expanded its footprint across Melbourne’s north in a bid to better serve the local community and investors as demand accelerates in the corridor.

OBrien Real Estate has launched a new office in Doreen, reinforcing its presence across the booming northern Melbourne corridor.

Led by a duo of veteran agents, Anna Varrica and George Stathakis, who also oversee the group’s Mill Park and Preston locations, the new office will focus on high-quality service and on building strong, lasting relationships within the local community.

 
 

Managing director of OBrien Real Estate, Dean O’Brien, said that the pair’s combined 42 years of experience bring proven leadership and deep local knowledge to the growing Doreen market.

“At OBrien Real Estate, our focus has always been on people and community. Expanding into Doreen allows us to deepen those connections and better support the needs of our clients in one of Melbourne’s fastest-growing regions,” O’Brien said.

Located just 29km from Melbourne’s CBD, O’Brien said the suburb has been cementing its status as a northern Melbourne hotspot, with strong population growth, new housing and major infrastructure driving demand from both families and investors.

Last year, Doreen had seen growth rates of 6.6 per cent for houses, to a median price of $805,000, and 11.6 per cent for units, to $613,750.

“Doreen is a growing suburb with exciting opportunities for a wide range of demographics,” O’Brien concluded.
