Marcus O'Brien

Spear's Review

Marcus O’Brien is a former Chestertons adviser who boasts more than a decade’s experience working in Belgravia and Knightsbridge. Since 2016 he has been part of Beauchamp Estates' private office team, cutting his teeth under the tutelage of Gary Hersham, a legend within the industry. 

In 2020 O'Brien worked alongside Hersham on the sale of Britain’s most expensive house, 2-8a Rutland Gate in Knightsbridge, which was reportedly sold for £210 million. He is active in pursuing prime rentals too; he reports having achieved ‘one of – if not the – highest value rental deals in UK history’. 

O'Brien's began as an estate agent at Susan Metcalfe Residential, where he met Knight Frank stalwart Stuart Bailey, who later told Spear’s he predicted a bright future for the charismatic then-18-year-old.
