Lynda O'Dea

Founder & Owner of Legendary Homes

Lynda O’Dea has been a top real estate agent with Long & Foster’s top Bethesda office for many years. Lynda’s focus has always been on understanding her client’s needs, helping them find the best homes for sale to meet their requirements, and providing expert advice and information to help them effectively accomplish their buying and selling goals. With a unique combination of skills including marketing, technology and design … Lynda maximizes all available resources to make her clients informed and knowledgeable about the industry as it relates to their specific needs.

For example, in today’s real estate market, most buyers and sellers are internet savvy, scouring the web for as much information as they can source to make intelligent decisions. Much of that information, however, is nationally generated, often lacking critical details. As a result, Lynda has invested extensively in finding and utilizing the most current technologies available to build the most comprehensive website about the local Bethesda real estate market, as well as Chevy Chase MD, Potomac MD and throughout the entire DC metro area. Legendary Homes keeps clients up to date with important information, news and statistics. Creatively presenting properties for her selling clients is another area where Lynda excels using her marketing and design background combined with the most effective tools and techniques.
