About Alfredda

Alfredda “Fred” Smith-Odato While the Great Recession purged scores of Realtors from southwest Florida, Alfredda “Fred” Smith-Odato saw an opportunity to increase her expertise. Her unrelenting passion for a career in real estate inspired her to take nearly every advanced class available, including obtaining her broker’s license. Fred’s real estate career allows her to combine her love of Florida real estate with her deep background in international relations. She started her career in the import-export business where she frequently interacted with foreign nationals and became an expert in the intricate duty and customs laws of many countries while leading an eight-person team. She also has experience as an entrepreneur, owning and operating a successful Mail Boxes, Etc. franchise for many years. A native of Baltimore, Fred has been visiting the Gulf coast of Florida since 1998 and moved here permanently to become a Realtor in 2002. In her spare time, she cheers for the Rays (and the Orioles), spends time with her cocker spaniel puppy, and her four grandchildren. A veteran boater, she also volunteers with the US Coast Guard Auxiliary. Fred proudly considers herself a survivor of the housing bubble, bringing together her advanced education, ability to work with international clients, and ability to navigate into waterfront real estate opportunities. Today, she is a Broker Associate with Premier Sotheby’s International Realty.

Best in the market

Alfredda worked hard from beginning to end in getting our property sold. You can’t go wrong selecting her as your agent. I promise you that.

We loved working with Alfredda on multiple real estate transactions.

Fred was very knowledgeable, professional, efficient, and kind. She was a joy to work with, and she understood both the Buyer's and the Seller's viewpoints. Fred understood the economic market, the geographic areas, the competition, the connections ,and more. We felt comfortable with her and we knew that she would always do her best.

Great Experience

Alfredda was wonderful to work with in finding my new home. She spent a lot of time driving me around to different areas. She knows the area well. She is very funny and made my time looking for my new home very enjoyable.

Alfredda was absolutely wonderful to work with

I highly recommend Alfredda. I was moving from another state and I am grateful for her knowledge of the local area. She was extremely responsive to my many calls and questions. I am sure I was not her easiest client yet she takes the time to get all the answers and makes the process a pleasure.

We recently made over a 1200 mile move to the Bradenton / Sarasota area leaving family and our home of 16 years. Not knowing who to work with we went with a referral from a colleague. Alfredda ”Fred” Smith-Odato hit the ground running! She was very knowledgeable about the area, the market, the regulations and restrictions in each neighborhood, local shopping, restaurants, sights to see and a must do list once we get settled! She was a wealth of information! We flew in on a weekend to do a marathon house hunt. Fred worked endlessly to develop a list of homes to see. Fred honored our limited time and helped us set up a meeting with a mortgage broker to obtain a pre-authorization letter to have on hand if the perfect home came into view. Fred continued to help us thru the many steps, making the offer, the bidding war, the inspections, setting up utilities till our closing day. Fred supported us every step of the way. Fred was always a phone call or an email away. She made our transition go effortlessly. I did not mention this was not our first move nor was it our fist long distant move. We have moved 7 times over the past 30 years. I must say I do not remember any our realtors going the extra mile to make sure we are adjusting to our new surroundings after the closing. Fred has stayed connected checking in from time to time with a friendly email or text to see how we are doing. She has even taken the time to invite us out to explore the areas dining that the locals keep secret. Fred is a hidden gem. She is more than a realtor she has become a friend who I would recommend to anyone looking for an honest, meticulous, thorough, compassionate realtor.
