Native Houstonian knows many areas of the city

Mario Rodriguez, a Realtor with Sudhoff Companies, is thrilled to show clients a new property near Oak Forest.

“La Sierra is an exclusive gated community featuring 82 unique, twostory, contempora­ry, freestandi­ng homes with private backyards. It’s located just north of Oak Forest in-between T.C. Jester and North Shepherd, making it minutes from the Heights, Galleria and downtown. Amenities such as a dog run, guest parking, a beautiful lake, and a walking trail are included,” he said.

Rodriguez, an awardwinni­ng Realtor, also works with buyers and sellers for residentia­l homes, apartment leases, residentia­l leases and commercial leases.

“I will go where my clients are interested. Yet, my main focus area is central northwest. I have lived and worked in the area for so long and have seen the area grow and continue to develop. This is also where I purchased my home in Inwood Forest,” Rodriguez said.

A native Houstonian, Rodriguez may have been born in the Heights, but he grew up in many different areas around Houston.

So, he knows the city, and helps his clients find the right neighborho­od and home that fit their lifestyle.

“We moved a lot when I was growing up. We lived in different styles of homes and apartments. So, I developed a passion for real estate. Yet, my passion for the industry really kicked in when I started working in property management,” Rodriguez said.

As a property manager, he experience­d the joy, compliment­s and relief from complete strangers for helping them get into their new apartment.

He had people lease where he worked because they said he had had a positive impact on them.

“From that moment, I knew that I had something in me to help others. There is nothing more rewarding than to see the smile and relief from your clients on closing day,” he said.

Rodriguez started his career as a leasing consultant and moved up the ladder to assistant property manager.

These experience­s in property management led Rodriguez to obtain his real estate licenses.

Rodriguez is known for his listening skills, customer service, marketing, patience, and his sincere caring for his clients.

Moreover, clients say he is friendly, passionate with a great outgoing personalit­y and is loyal, dedicated, organized, energetic and available.
