What Clients Say About Rod Rawlings

Rod Rawlings listed and sold two properties for us and also represented us in the purchase of a third. We received good prices for both of our sales, and our purchase should prove to be a good investment in the near future. There were some turns and bumps along the road, of course, but with Rod's help we drove through and reached our goal. Rod was always available to discuss our situation and progress. We are pleased with Rod's professional services and pleased with the results.

My real estate broker, Rod Rawlings, achieved exactly what I wanted in the sale of my condominium. We worked together to reach an asking price that would both attract buyers and provide me with a good financial return. Thanks to good marketing and the power of the MLS, we negotiated and reached contract with a well-qualified buyer in a short time. My repair costs were minimal, as Rod said they would be. And the closing proceeded according to plan. All through the process, I felt that Rod kept me well informed, and I have no hesitation in recommending him as a professional who provides top-level service.

Rod Rawlings represented me in selling my home and in buying a new home. In both transactions, Rod kept me very well informed. He put together a very successful marketing plan for my old home, and helped me through the process of finding my new one, deciding on the best financing, and making the many decisions as to model, upgrades, etc. I have no reservations in recommending Rod's professional services to buyers or sellers.

When our family moved from California to Florida , Rod Rawlings helped us find and buy a fine home at a good price. Just two years later, due to a career opportunity that required moving to another state, Rod helped us market and sell the same home at a much higher price. Whether buying or selling, we have found the real estate services of Rod Rawlings to be both professional and profitable.

Rod Rawlings has been our real estate broker through marketing and selling a condo, finding and buying a house and, some years later, selling that same house. He has also given good and reliable real estate advice all along the way. Whenever we had a question or concern, Rod was very reachable through phone or email, and he responded quickly. We do not plan to have any more real estate business for many years, but if we do, our first call will be to Rod Rawlings.

-- John and Almeda Sheffield

We sold our Riverview condominium through Rod Rawlings. From the beginning to the closing, Rod was with us at every step. We knew that our asking price would set a new high-water mark for our building, but that didn't stop Rod from taking on the challenge. He found and qualified the buyer. Our sale closed on time, without any troubles or hassles, and resulted in a sizeable profit. We have bought and sold many properties, and we believe that you could not do any better than having Rod Rawlings as your professional.

-- Edwin and Barbara Rathke

Our home sold quickly through the efforts of Rod Rawlings. We received the highest price ever paid for a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom pool home in our community, and we have Rod's expertise to thank for it. He was always on top of our marketing, negotiating and closing. Sellers who have Rod on their side are going to sell and do very well. We recommend him highly.

-- Larry and Barb Hand

Rod Rawlings sold me an exceptionally fine home in Pointe West, Bradenton . I knew that he was hired by the seller and working as a transaction broker, so I did not need to get my own agent because Rod was fair and forthright about everything. He guided me through the loan qualification, the offer and the negotiations, and he handled all the details that are so important. Without his help, I probably would have looked for a different house. But Rod is very professional and I was confident that he could do the job, which he did!

-- Darleen Powell

I bought my home from my family estate with the help of Rod Rawlings. He placed a market value on the home and worked with the personal representative of the estate to reach a contract for sale. Rod helped me find a good mortgage loan. He placed the contract with a title company and monitored their work at every step. Whenever I had a question about the purchase, Rod provided the answer. I can recommend Rod Rawlings to any serious buyer who wants good real estate advice and service.

-- David M. Case

Rod Rawlings marketed and sold our condominium for the highest price ever paid for a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom unit in our building. He produced printed materials, internet advertising, television spots and other means of attracting buyers. He coordinated the listing through the MLS with other brokers and helped qualify prospective buyers. In all of his activities, Rod stayed in communication with us. From the day we signed the listing agreement to the day we signed closing papers, Rod was with us to provide real estate services and advice. Based on our good experience, an owner wishing to have both professional and personal representation would do well to have Rod as the broker.
