Real Estate Professional

Ruth Boyer O’Dea brings over two decades of experience to the Washington, DC real estate landscape, garnering consistent praise from clients and colleagues. Her proficiency spans advising clients, skillfully negotiating residential transactions, and expertly preparing properties for the market, all underpinned by an unmatched understanding of the region’s dynamic market.

One of Ruth’s distinguishing traits is her commitment to integrating cutting-edge technologies to elevate client experiences and yield exceptional results. Licensed in VA, MD, and DC, Ruth serves clients regionally while fostering global connections.

Managing sales at Residences at Salamander – a curated collection of estates homes within the acclaimed Salamander Resort & Spa in Middleburg, Virginia – underscores her ability to navigate prestigious real estate offerings.

A first-generation American, Ruth was raised in central New York, along the St. Lawrence River, and in Palm Beach County, Florida.

Her expertise extends to new construction negotiations, collaborating with builders on behalf of clients, and representing prestigious builders, including Mickey Simpson Builders, Griffin Head Renovation & Design, Sheridan & Associates, and Castlerock Enterprises.

An ICF-certified coach, Ruth’s commitment to guiding clients through decisions is bolstered by her honed listening skills. Beyond her professional pursuits, Ruth is deeply committed to the wider Metro DC region's community, serving on the board of Food & Friends, an organization delivering medically tailored meals to those with serious illnesses.

Outside work and community, Ruth finds joy in spending time with her husband, their dogs, and in entertaining. With a daughter attending Virginia Tech, she can now proudly answer the question, 'What's a Hokie?'.
