Odell Story

In 1973, The O’Dell Family of three moved to North Tustin to set down roots. It has been home ever since, with three generations of family living locally and working for the family’s residential real estate business today. They have been a dominant force in their profession since 1978, stemming from their steadfast desire to help people find their forever homes.

Gary is the Patriarch and entered the business part-time in 1969. He relocated the family here from Palos Verdes for land, space, and more blue skies. Sarah left her career in banking in 1978, and obtained her Broker's license to have flexibility with Gary's teaching career. Her passion and success in the business was truly remarkable and she quickly found herself among the top luxury agents in Orange County. 

Just like The O’Dell Family, nearly all team members live in the local Tustin areas, and many have grown up here with multi-generational roots. The team is like one big family with a synergy that unites them, with all but a few working together for 7-20 years. When looking at our team page, you may recognize some of their names and know them or their family members. 

Now that you know who they are, why should you hire them?  Prior to joining forces in 1994, Dean and Sarah worked individually as top agents in the area for years. After starting their family business, they knew early on that just one or two people could not possibly possess the necessary skills to provide clients with the level of care that they deserve. This led them to build a team of experts who specialize in different areas of the transaction process, so that the client’s experience is never compromised; true to their motto, “It’s All About You!” Team members range from their 20's to their 80's, fostering an environment of shared wisdom and understanding for their customers. They provide valuable insights and empathetic guidance to clients regardless of their age or budget by drawing upon a wide range of experiences from various stages of life.
