Janet O'Donnell
REALTOR®
DRE#01879864
Prior to joining Carmel Realty Company earlier this year Janet worked for 20+ years in Lake Tahoe as a real estate broker. She found navigating clients through the real estate maze challenging and rewarding. She feels fortunate to have made some excellent connections and developed many lifelong friendships. Like Carmel, being able to live and work in such a beautiful and exciting locale was just icing on the cake!
Janet was born in Nashville and after college held several positions with The Gap and Pottery Barn stores in Boston, New York and Atlanta. One of those assignments brought her to the west coast where she became intrigued with the idea of opening a restaurant. The culinary arts had always interested her so she enrolled in the California Culinary Academy in San Francisco. As it turned out, after several months it became critically obvious that a hot bustling professional kitchen was not to be her life's work and hung up her apron. She truly enjoys the local growers markets, cooking and creating things in the kitchen, but now chooses to do that for herself, her friends and her family.
Janet lives in Carmel with her husband and Shih Tzu. She is a member of the Pebble Beach Club and Quail Golf Club. In her free time she enjoys hiking around Point Lobos or Palo Corona, playing golf and pickle ball or spending time in the garden.
