Freddy Odom Knows Montgomery
Freddy didn't move here to sell real estate. He grew up in Montgomery, graduated high school here in 1991, and has lived in the River Region for more than 38 years. He knows the school zones, the neighborhoods, the eateries, and where the real investment opportunities are.
He started in real estate in 2013, earned his broker license, and opened New Key Realty in 2019. Since then he's sold over 150 homes and built a property management side that currently runs around 30 residential and commercial units. He works with first time buyers, upsizers, downsizers, military families relocating, land buyers, and investors building rental portfolios.
You won't get a sales pitch from Freddy. You'll get a straight answer about your house, your offer, your timeline, and what you can realistically expect from the Montgomery market right now. Just facts and no shenanigans.
Real Estate Agents Across the River Region
Freddy works throughout the River Region, but three cities make up the heart of the market. He knows the neighborhoods, the schools, and what makes each one different, so your price holds and your search doesn't waste your weekends.
Montgomery
The heart of the metro area and home base for New Key Realty. Downtown, Pike Road, the Maxwell AFB community, and the established neighborhoods in between. This is where Freddy has done most of his work over the past decade.
Prattville
Just west of Montgomery and growing fast, with new construction, strong schools, and an easy commute downtown. If you want real estate agents in Prattville AL who know where the value is, Freddy has been working this market for years.
Wetumpka
North of Montgomery with a small town feel and Lake Martin within reach. Strong demand for family homes near good schools and weekend lake property. Freddy lives in Elmore County, so the realtors in Wetumpka AL conversation usually starts close to home.
What You Get With a Local, Family Owned Agent
No call centers, no offshore VAs, no template responses. Just an experienced local agent who knows the area and treats your house like it matters, because it does.
Over a Decade Selling Homes Here
Freddy has been a Realtor since 2013 and has sold more than 150 homes in that time. He's seen the market shift, slow, and surge, and that experience shows up in sharper pricing, smarter offers, and fewer surprises at closing.
Two Services, One Person
Most agents only sell houses. If you're buying a primary home and a rental, or selling your house and need a manager for the next one, you get both under one roof with no handoffs.
Calls Get Returned
You'll hear back from Freddy directly, not from a junior assistant or an automated email reply. That sounds basic until you've worked with someone who doesn't do it.
Family Owned, Locally Rooted
New Key Realty isn't a franchise. It's a local business run by someone who lives in the same area you're buying or selling in, with the same stake in the community.

What areas of Alabama do you serve?
New Key Realty covers Montgomery County, Elmore County, and Autauga County. That includes Montgomery, Pike Road, Wetumpka, Millbrook, Prattville, and the smaller towns in between. If you're buying or selling outside the area, we can refer you to a trusted local agent there.
Do you work with first time home buyers?
Yes, a lot of our buyer clients are buying their first home. We walk you through the mortgage process, explain what to look for during showings, and break down the inspection and closing steps so nothing catches you off guard. Many first time buyers in the area qualify for FHA or VA loans, and we can point you to lenders who know those programs well.
How is your commission structured?
Commission is paid at closing and varies depending on the type of sale and the property. We're happy to discuss numbers in plain English on the first call. There are no upfront fees to work with us as a buyer, and seller commissions are negotiated before we list. Contact us for a no obligation conversation.
Can you help me sell my home and find a new one at the same time?
Yes. Selling and buying at the same time is one of the more common situations we handle. We coordinate the timing so you're not stuck paying two mortgages or scrambling for temporary housing. There are several strategies for managing the overlap, and we'll walk you through the right one for your situation.
What does your property management service include?
Complete property management covers tenant screening and placement, rent collection, maintenance coordination, lease enforcement, and monthly owner statements. For investors with multiple properties or remote owners, we handle the daily work so you only hear from us when there's a decision to make. See the property management page for full details.
How quickly will I hear back when I reach out?
Same day in most cases, often within a few hours. Freddy handles the inbox personally. If you reach out late in the evening, expect a reply by the next morning. No automated responses, no email triage by an assistant.
Are you a licensed real estate agent in Alabama?
Yes. Freddy Odom is a licensed Alabama real estate broker (license #101338) and the owner of New Key Realty. He's been a member of the Montgomery Area Association of Realtors and the National Association of Realtors since 2013. Credentials can be confirmed through the Alabama Real Estate Commission.
Do I have to sign a long contract to work with you?
Buyer agreements are typically brief and tied to your active search. Listing agreements have set terms that we explain clearly up front. For property management, contracts are renewable monthly after the initial agreement period. We don't lock people into anything they don't understand.
