Deb Odom Stern has been a student of real estate all of her life. As a child, growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area, in what is now Silicon Valley, she routinely put "California Real Estate" on her wish list for Santa. (Santa now wishes he would have listened to Deb's real estate advice.) From a very young age Deb had a knack for knowing how to get the maximum value out of a house. While her contemporaries were reading 'People Magazine' Deb was reading 'This Old House' and learning how to do her own home maintenance.

After college Deb became a teacher and bought and sold her own properties for many years before starting a family. Once her kids were old enough, she joined the Charles Reinhart Company full-time. Her first year as an agent, she was Rookie of the Year - an award for outstanding performance.

Deb now uses her background as a teacher and private investor to benefit her clients. She believes that education is the best tool that she can give as her clients embark on the process of buying or selling a home. To that end she keeps clients up-to-date on market conditions, financing options, new listings and recent sales - data that is key to helping her clients make good real estate decisions. Deb's success is due to her discipline, strong work ethic, and (perhaps most of all) the fact that Deb LOVES her job!
