Odessa Patterson

About

With a robust educational background in Communications and Business Administration from the New York Institute of Technology and Flagler College, respectively, I have built a diverse career spanning real estate and compliance. Currently, I serve as a Real Estate Broker at Odessa Realty, where I oversee transactions and ensure legal compliance. Previously, I was the Director of Compliance at HALLMARK, developing compliance programs and advising on risk management. My experience as a Real Estate Agent at Frank Middlebrooks Realty honed my skills in negotiation and client relations. Earlier roles at Lincoln Property Company and the Atlanta Housing Authority focused on compliance management, particularly in affordable housing programs. My career is marked by a commitment to legal adherence and effective client service, supported by my participation in the Landmark Forum for personal development.
