What Dean’s Clients Are Saying..
“Dean O’Dell and his associates made a very difficult situation, bearable. With the passing of my father, my siblings and I were left with a home that had 46 years of memories. We had interviewed a few agencies and it was Dean who seemed to truly understand the overwhelming emotional toll incurred when letting go of a home, forever. He and his team were never aggressive, only empathetic, always patient. They handled all details from the estate sale to refreshing the home and everything in between. I would highly recommend Dean and the O’Dell team of experts to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. They absolutely care about the client.”
“We met Dean at an open house and there was an immediate connection. Dean showed us many properties over several months and was extremely patient with us until we found the right one. His exceptional knowledge of the Tustin area is second to none! The O’Dell team made closing the deal a simple process. Dean then engaged his team to list our home and sold it in just a few days. They made it smooth and easy on us along the way. From marketing to close, the entire team assisted us through every step. The results far exceeded our expectations. We really enjoyed working with Dean and the O’Dell Group on both sides as buyers and sellers. All members of this team are true professionals. We are grateful and couldn’t be happier with the experience.”
“We recently put our mom’s house up for sale. Although we were heartbroken to have to sell it, The O’Dell Group made it very easy on us! Julie did an awesome job with staging the home and showing us the different upgrades that would make a big difference in the appeal of the home. All of the contractors (that she recommended) and their employees were excellent. Everything was completed ahead of schedule....which we all know HARDLY EVER HAPPENS when working on a home. Her knowledge of color palettes, the latest trends and what buyers are looking for was spot on. The house sold in just a few days! Dean and his staff had everything taken care of and organized. With no regular “open houses” due to covid, the home was shown 34 times in just a few days. We have some great buyers and can’t wait to introduce them to the neighborhood. Thank you O’Dell Group and Seven Gables!”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dean and his entire team at The O’Dell Group!! They are absolute professionals who really know the industry, market and customer service. Julie did an amazing job managing every detail of fixing up our home and staging it, from remodeling a bathroom, retiling an entry, choosing fixtures, staging furniture, to re-landscaping . . . Julie managed all the work, made it all look beautiful and we did not have to do a thing. Jennifer is a gem and has the best attention to detail, always sending us the documents to sign and answering questions we may have. Dean really cares about helping you get the best price for your home. He knows the market, and how to negotiate! Dean went way above and beyond to position us to receive multiple offers. All his advice and direction has been spot on and we really appreciate it! The O’Dell Group truly provides full service. Once we signed with them, we didn’t have to do anything, they made it all happen. Thank you to the entire team!”
“I had an opportunity to sell our family home myself, but when that buyer did not perform, I reached out to The O’Dell Group. I am so happy I did! We decided to do some much needed improvements to make the home more appealing to potential buyers. Julie Peterman handled the project management of the renovations and staging which were completed under budget and a week earlier than planned. These improvements along with the marketing and Dean O’Dell’s selling expertise allowed for 12 offers and ultimately netted our family $300k above our expectations!”
“I can’t begin to thank The O’Dell Group for the expertise, attention to detail and passion they put into their industry. When we put our house on the market, we knew who to call: Dean O’Dell, the guy who had sold us the same house 19 years prior. There are lots of real estate agents around town, but Dean has been in the industry for decades. Our house was on the market for less than a week and sold! The O’Dell group knows what they’re doing, and made the process painless. To say I recommend them is an understatement. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.”
“The O’Dell Group represented us in the sale of our North Tustin home. Dean and his entire team were fantastic to work with! There were several speed bumps along the way (including the COVID pandemic), but through it all the O’Dell team was extremely responsive and professional. They were also a great resource for all kinds of services (general repairs, painter, roofer, staging house & yard, etc.) – no matter the task, they had a solution for me. I recommend The O’Dell Group to anyone selling their home and won’t hesitate to use them in the future.”

“Dean and his team did a great job! It was very little work for us to get the property sold. They took care of everything, from flowers in the front yard to getting things fixed around the house. The O’Dell Team did everything they promised in the time frame they promised. Who could ask for more?”
“Dean O’Dell and his team did an awesome job with the sale of our house and the purchase of our new house! We had bought our first house with him 8 years ago and knew we wanted to use him again if we were to ever buy or sell. Dean and The O’Dell Group really made this all possible for us. He was so good at negotiating for us and made sure everything went smoothly according to our needs. Jen and his office staff, were so helpful and attentive to our needs. Julie and the staging and marketing team were amazing and we were able to sell our home for over asking price in a really short amount of time. Their process is so fine tuned - they really know how to do this right! We are so thankful to Dean and The O’Dell Group for all of their hard work and all they did to make this happen for us and for making it such a smooth process! We very much enjoyed working with them. We would definitely recommend them to others and would use them again if we ever needed. Thanks O’Dell Group!”
