Nicole was a dream to work with! My fiancé and I were looking to move out of Orange County into our forever home. Not only was Nicole willing to make the drive to Temecula with us every weekend, but she did it with no complaints. She was always one phone call or message away. We could count on her to be responsive and punctual. When touring houses, Nicole pointed out both pros and cons to each home. She also spotted things that we didn't know about or realize. During the escrow process, Nicole was quick and communicative. I would highly recommend Nicole to anyone! read more

There's not enough space here to list the value that April and her team bring to the transaction. We recently purchased a home with April as our buyers agent, and it was the most amazing experience. She worked with us for many months, showed us several homes and exercised incredible patience. When we finally found our forever home, April was with us every single step of the way, guiding us, advising us and encouraging us, and even now, after the close of the sale, she continues to provide assistance to us. April is an amazing agent to work with and the support that Dean and the entire team provides is outstanding. April and the O'Dell Group are not only experienced and knowledgeable, they care about their clients and do everything possible to help them achieve their ultimate goal, whether it be buying a home or selling a home. read more

Nicole Janes works just as hard on small deals as bigger ones. She helped my son at 25 secure two different leases. I saw how much time she put in helping him get into these homes. I knew at that point that there was not another agent I would consider to represent me or my son for a home purchase. Fast forward, my son closed on his first home two weeks ago. Nicole is exceptionally hard working, knowledgeable, experienced and responsive. And on top of that she is just an incredibly kind and thoughtful person. Just a joy to work with. Nicole is guaranteed to be our agent for any future home buying. Sincerely, Karen Crosson read more

April and her team worked very hard and diligently to make my closing happen in two weeks. She was thorough, patient, and addressed all of my concerns through the entire process, making it easy for me as a first time home buyer. I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a home, and who expect nothing but first rate service from a knowledgeable and professional realtor. read more

We met April at an open house and she felt like a friend from the first meeting with her warm and outgoing personality. April is professional and very knowledgeable about the Tustin neighborhoods. She was able to negotiate an offer letter for us the same day we saw our house and it was accepted the very next day! During escrow, April always made herself available to help us with access to the house and walked us through the inspection and appraisal processes. We liked working with April so much, we also engaged her to list the lease on our condo. I would highly recommend working with April as she eased my worries as a first-time homebuyer and guided us through a smooth closing process! read more

Dean O'Dell of the O'Dell group recently represented my family in the sale of my parents' house. He did an amazing job! He's very professional, experienced, and explained the process clearly. He was easy to speak with and to reach. This is a full-service agency, which made the entire sale process so much easier. Julie is part of the team, and she was fantastic. She staged the house, and I so much appreciated her calm approach and friendly manner. Jennifer, another great member of the team, walked me through the transfer of utilities. I highly recommend this team! read more

I can't begin to thank The O'Dell Group for the expertise, attention to detail and passion they put in to 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. Not only is it not Dean's first rodeo, he's the bronco buster with the callused hands. He has all the soft skills-yet also holds a degree in real estate analytics. He's a guy you want to have a beer with-and can trust with your most valuable asset to make sure it's handled correctly. Selling a home is an emotional business. There are compelling circumstances around this major life transition, and they aren't easy to navigate--unless you hire a professional like Dean who has an entire team behind him who handle each specific task with aplomb. Here are just a few of Dean's many team members who handled their part with huge talent: Gary O'Dell: The consumate gentleman who started the business. With years of wisdom and managerial panache, he guided potential buyers through not only the property, but the reasons why this neighborhood is so desirable. Sara O'Dell: An enthusiastic and charismatic agent who has a great eye for detail. She helped me past my house-blindness to see the little things that could be improved. Seeing my home through her eyes gave me confidence it would sell. Nicole Galey: newer to the firm, she is an intelligent and talented agent who toured my home and brought excitement and energy to the process. Jen O'Donoghue: Handling the many paper work transactions, she was always on top of everything, always cheerfully explaining to me the many terms and conditions that come with selling my home. She spent time on the phone with me guiding me through tedious-yet-necessary disclosure forms and always with sunny, good-natured charm. Stacey: Dean's assistant has been with him for practically as long or longer than we've owned our home. She executes, there is literally no lag time, no question that things will be handled with precision. And she's lovely. Julie Peterman: Julie has found her passion as a marketing expert and stager. She truly loves what she does and it shows. She came before we had done anything to the house, and gave gracious, kind suggestions of what to do to the house that would be a good return on investment. We took her advice and did most everything she said, and it paid. The marketing materials she produced that went across multiple platforms were visually stunning. Josh Peterman: Josh is an extremely talented videographer and drone photograper. He made our house look incredible. His love for what he does is evident in his fastidiously shot video. Grant: Grant does the still photography that I want to keep forever and say, " I lived there!" Super friendly and his twenty years in the business shows in his killer shots. Our house was on the market for less than a week and it's already in escrow. 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. read more

Wow, our realtor Carmina Johansson, I can't even put into words how much my husband and I appreciate everything she has done for us. We did a zoom call with Carmina a little over a month ago to go over what we were looking for in a house. Right away, Carmina was an encyclopedia of knowledge for the houses and areas we were interested in. We went on our first showings with her a week later, and ended up making an offer on our, now current, new home. From the moment we decided to put an offer down, Carmina was there with excellent advise. Without her proactive recommendations we know this house would be someone else's and not ours. Especially in this hyper competitive market. We will absolutely be recommending Carmina to any of our friends looking for a realtor in the future! read more

Before my career in interior design, I ran a marketing and branding firm. In all the years I have been working in both fields, I have met few professionals on par with Julie Peterman. I instantly liked her. She is just one of those people that puts everyone at ease in stressful situations. She is responsive, proactive, and extremely knowledgeable in her field. Her talents and skills with online marketing make a huge impact to the bottom line and I have had the pleasure of working with her on several transactions. She just gets it. No. It's more than that. She owns it! She masters the competitive landscape, knows how to navigate multiple marketing channels, understands how to position properties in the market, and develops complete campaigns to get the properties sold. She is truly a team player so property owners and vendors all love working with her. Thank you, Julie! Kim Bauer Bauer Design Group, LLC read more

We had an amazing experience with Carmina Johansson of The O'Dell Geoup, who helped both sell our house and buy a new home! When she asked what I was looking for in an agent I had one word: communication. Carmina delivered on this tenfold! She was always available for questions, kept us informed of each step of the process, and was ready to negotiate on our behalf. Our house was beautifully staged and the marketing photos were a real standout compared to other listings we saw. I would recommend Carmina and the crew at The O'Dell Group to anyone looking to have a smooth home buying/selling experience. You'll be glad you chose them to represent you! read more

We would like to thank Carmina, and the rest of the O'Dell team, for helping us find and purchase our dream home. Carmina was easy to talk to, professional, and very knowledgeable about the North Tustin area. She showed us homes in the location of the schools we wanted for our kids. Now we have a beautiful house within walking distance to highly rated schools. We would highly recommend Carmina and the O'Dell group. read more

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 thing fixed around the house.

I just closed the sale of my home using the O'Dell Group and they were amazing.

There is no one better in the business. read more

We recently used the O'Dell Group for buying our new home and selling our previous home all in North Tustin. Our experience could not have been better. Sarah and Dean were so helpful as we decided to make a move after many years. Their office staff was thorough and friendly. We would recommend the O'Dell Group for all your real estate needs. read more

My father and siblings would like to express our sincere thanks to Carmina, Dean and the rest of the team at the O'Dell group as respects the sale of our parent's home of over 41 years. The residence was sold within 2 weeks of being placed on the market; moreover, members of their team that we encountered handed the process seamlessly and with a high level of professionalism. Selling a long time family home can be very emotional and having a firm like the O'Dell Group shepherd us through the various steps was invaluable. Again, they have our thanks as well as our strongest recommendation. read more

April and her crew were extremely helpful with the sell of our home. They made sure we were able to get the optimal purchase price for our home, and they staged the house beautifully! It was a seamless experience without any hiccups! read more

It was a crazy ride, but we were able to buy a beautiful home in our price range and even in the neighborhood we loved the best! We definitely could not have done this without Nicole, and she really took care of us well during the negotiation, closing, and even after closing. We hope that we'll be in this home for many years to come, but when it is time to move again, we'll definitely call Nicole! We recommend her and The O'dell Group so very highly. read more

I wanted to say thank you to Dean for some great real estate advice recently. We were thinking about selling our house to get out of a bad mortgage, which we had been unable to refinance for years due to low equity. Imagine this for a real estate agent, he said "Don't sell your house." Instead he suggested some steps and some people to help us get a much better rate, and stay in the house and area we love. Thanks a million Dean for being a true real estate "advisor". read more

The O'Dell Group are true professionals and they go above and beyond throughout the whole process. They are understanding, knowledgeable, caring and are with you 100% of time. Amazing group of people! read more

My husband and I had been looking for a home since 2011. On top of our long list of requirements in a home, we also had a very specific home that we wanted as we needed a home that can accommodate my elderly parents. (Pool, yard, RV parking, in-law suite with own kitchen and bath, at least 4 bedrooms and on a budget! Geez! Which is so hard to find in North Tustin/Tustin!) In God's perfect time, Nicole Galey and I crossed paths. When I met her, I felt she can be the right agent to represent and help us find our home. Nicole was persistent, driven, go-getter and hard worker. She made sure we get the home my family needs. We enjoyed working with her and liked her "down to earth" personality. I highly recommend her and The O'Dell Group! read more

We first met April at an open house and knew right away she was the broker for us. Her warmth and professionalism were very apparent right from the start. We had recently relocated from the east coast and were unfamiliar with the market and brokers in the area, but April put all of our fears to rest. She guided us through the whole process with patience and a great knowledge of the local market. Everyone at O'Dell was a pleasure to work with and extremely helpful from beginning to end. The whole team made us feel like family! read more

This is the 2nd time we've used Lesley Citarella, and this most recent time it was to sell our condo and buy our new home. What we most appreciated was all of the resources and additional support that she and the O'Dell Group were able to provide to us. Buying/selling is about as crazy as it gets, but luckily having a familiar face as well as the strong team behind her, our condo was beautifully staged, we felt like we had a steady stream of potential buyers come through our home through their various marketing strategies, and Lesley & team were able to help manage our expectations. They walked along side us from the beginning days of listing our home, to the closing/moving dates to our new one. We are in awe that we are so fortune to live in a new, beautiful home in a wonderful community, and certainly have much thanks and appreciation to the O'Dell Group for helping make that happen. read more

I would highly recommend the O'Dell group if your plan on selling your home. This was the first time I sold a house, my family home for 43 years. The O'Dell group was so professional and still personnel to all of my needs. Once I sign the contract Dean and his team (Tracy, Julie, Jenifer to name a few) came to my home getting it ready to sell always keeping me informed on what would be done and the time frame for the first open house. All their work paid off I had 7 offers and closed escrow in a record time fame. They even had an estate planed call me to set sales of the contents of my home. Thank you Dean and your team for a job well done. read more

Peter Cuomo an agent with the O'Dell Group sold our house in record time for top dollar, he was honest and kept us informed throughout the whole process, We were so happy with the results we went back to Peter to sell our rental property, Peter showed us how we could actually make more money if we put some money into remodeling/updating the house which was built in the early 70s. The rehab was finished in less than 6 weeks and the house sold in a few days for better than top dollar. If you want to buy or sell your home in Orange County I highly recommend you contact the O'Dell Group and ask for Peter Cuomo. read more
