Broker Associate / Area Leader License ID: CA 01995374 / TX 431113
Roddy de la Garza grew up inside real estate. Raised in a family brokerage spanning more than 50 years, he was measuring houses and hanging for-sale signs by the age of eight, learning early how homes, stories, and decisions intersect.

His career spans real estate, media, publishing, technology, and entertainment, shaping an approach that treats home staging like set design and each sale like a film shoot, planned, paced, and executed with intention. Influenced by improv training and a background in film directing, Roddy believes clarity beats theater and momentum beats perfection.

He is the author of Above Asking and host of the Somebody Had to Say It podcast. He trains AI models on brokerage systems for Mercor in collaboration with OpenAI and serves as West Coast Ambassador for Villa Vie Residences. Since 2014, his team has closed over 750 transactions totaling more than $350M in volume.

Buying or selling a home can be stressful. Working with Roddy is not. The process is organized, transparent, and even fun, because confidence grows when people feel prepared, supported, and genuinely cared for.

    Roddy gave honest advice and had a strategy plan together based on research none of the other 10 agents I interviewed bothered to do. It was because of his strategy and flawless marketing we were able to sell my condo over asking in a down market. For reference my neighbor had a similar unit on the market for 8 months and it sold for over 5% less. I interviewed their agent and realize now who you choose makes a world of a difference. His team was impeccable, everything from top staging to a team to help prep the property for sale. You're getting tremendous value and decades of experience with hundreds of sales if you hire him. Don't think twice.

    Roddy was virtually always available, always on top of everything, and had the most brilliant, disarming and effective strategies which resulted in successful negotiations throughout the process. He should be involved in the Middle East peace talks! I call him the “Human A.I.”, because his input is always experience- or fact-based (due to his almost encyclopedic knowledge of the real estate market). He’s a magician who can turn any potential “negative” into a legitimate positive, and it’s done in an instant. He’s the real deal: knowledgable, efficient, solution-oriented, honest, hard-working, well-connected, and consistently upholds high ethical standards. He is truly a realtor “super hero.”
    Roddy was not only responsive, but three steps ahead throughout the whole process, not only in the transaction but in our search phase. He had excellent guidance in terms of what to look out for and think about, while respecting our point of view and individual circumstances. He never seemed set on just closing a deal, but always getting us what we wanted with the most favorable outcome. Roddy is an excellent negotiator and was super knowledgeable during the inspection and escrow period, saving us money we would have spent on repairs without his expertise. When our specific situation got complicated due to the other side of the transaction and factors outside our control, Roddy really stood up and went above and beyond, protecting us and making sure our wishes and rights were represented. Despite a difficult escrow process, I always felt we were in the best hands. He knows the market and the law well, and was able to point out things we would have not noticed left to our own devices. He was always available and easy to reach, and communicative about timelines and expectations within the complicated real estate world. I can’t recommend working with Roddy enough.
