Whirlwind....

Busy week on the business side, trying to finish up some deals and keep the wheels on. Tracy had a huge dental procedure last Monday.. man tuff stuff there! Friday nite gig at THR holding out hope the 7 would make the Saturday show. My Dad worked so hard but we didn't quite make it. Thats ok, wound up a decent season, sure didn't like ending up the year on a slide truck though....
Saturday was HUGE! did the pregame show on Bevo Blvd. for a segment with The Longhorn Station AM 1300 the Zone, that was sooo cool. Sat in with Jon Madani, Rod Babers, Roger Wallace and Bucky Godbolt. On top of that it was on TV as well! Really enjoyed that, hope it looked and sounded ok.
Busy week ahead, have some clients to work with and a full week of working Townhomes... call me @ 300-4445 if you are looking to buy or sell real estate... come see me at the CrashFest at THR on Sunday @ 2PM!

Refocusing this deal!

Well as you can see from the date of the last post, I've been out of pocket for some time. Things have changed! Granted I still know endless details of unimportant things, my hobbies are all still the same... my profession however... well, not so much! After many years doing a job I set out on May 10, 2010 into the world of real estate. I started my new career on May 11th @ 10AM and other than a weeks vaction in Nashville, TN somewhere in there I have been at it since.
I passed my real estate exam on June 17th and went into business on my own on June 18th and On the Deck Realty was born. Why that name? Well when my wife need to have a big discussion, whether about work, kids, life, money........ we go out on one of our best investments, our deck. I decided in launching my business that I would be the way I am.... casual, yes I do dress better than I used too! But still, talking to me about business is just like talking to me about football or racing... one on one and very relaxed. Sitting on a deck is relaxing!
To say I have not been scared is a FAT LIE! But I have found that sitting around worried about trying to list or making a call only makes sure the task does not happen. In the time since I started, I have had closings and have transactions pending... that's pretty good but my goal is complete success, I love this industry and the challenge that evryday brings. The market only makes the challenge even greater but the same task day after day makes you not want to get up in the morning. I look forward to waking up and taking on the day!
Please feel free to follow me for updates, market conditions and I will tell you what is happening in Central Texas real estate. Please make my name the name you think of for real estate.. Rodney Rodriguez and you can call me anytime at (512)300-4445. If you wonder my territory, call me and I will tell you if your need is in my boundaries.. 99.9% of the time it will be!
I look forward to speaking to my friends and meeting many new faces!!!!
