From the very start, Rod's natural talent shone through. In his first week, he successfully facilitated a home sale in Forster for a couple relocating from Sydney—a relationship he cherishes to this day, as evidenced by the annual exchange of Christmas cards. Rod's career is marked by lasting relationships; he has assisted several clients in buying and selling properties multiple times, a testament to their trust in his expertise.

His colleagues often express admiration for his ability to seamlessly close deals or salvage challenging transactions. Rod's commitment to his clients is unparalleled, often going the extra mile—literally, by driving to Sydney if necessary—to ensure a successful agreement.

Believing firmly that negotiation is a critical yet often misunderstood aspect of real estate, Rod has applied his skills to navigate various market conditions, including the property booms and downturns and the challenges following it. His experience in both flourishing and challenging times has proven invaluable, demonstrating his adaptability and resilience in the ever-evolving real estate landscape.
