Celeste ODea

Celeste is a Short Sale Listing Specialist serving Maryland and the Eastern Shore. Her career began when she became a Certified Professional Secretary (CPS) and one of the courses was real estate. Although at the time she was working as an Executive Assistant to the President and Chairman of the Board of a major corporation, she knew that she wanted to get more involved in working with buyers and sellers. When her work in real estate began in 1988, little did she know that she would climb her way to the top of an intrepid career as a sales agent.

In 1989, she was named “Rookie of the Year” by the Prince George’s County Association of Realtors and continued to be a consistent top producer. In 1993, her husband joined her in the buiness and they got involved in the sales and marketing of estate sales and Real Estate Owned (REO) properties and became vendor partners for more than 50 valuation services, default services, lending institutions, and asset management companies. In addition, Celeste received extensive training and certification as a Short Sale Specialist, a Certified Distressed Property Expert, and an REO Default Certified Professional.

Celeste considers herself as an information hub and is always ready and willing to help other agents in the business. She is organized, motivated, and professionally trained with recognized skills in administration, management, and organization. Her open lines of communication with clients and business associates enables her to create an atmosphere of excitement and comfort throughout every step of the process.

Her abounding enthusiasm, her quest to be the best in her profession, and her attention to detail in every transaction has not only earned her the respect of her clients and customers whom she so ably serves but the admiration of other agents in the industry. Her tendency to go above and beyond results in a strong referral business, which accounts for 95% of her business. Celeste’s clients trust her and even after the deal is closed, many of the friendships remain.
