What actually makes someone a luxury real estate agent? According to Ricardo Rodriguez, it has nothing to do with the price of the home.
In this episode of Real Estate Insiders Unfiltered, James Dwiggins sits down with Rodriguez, Principal of Ricardo Rodriguez & Associates at Coldwell Banker, one of only a handful of Global Luxury Ambassadors, and leader of the No. 1 large real estate team in New England.
Rodriguez shares his remarkable journey of immigrating to the United States at 21 with only $25, building one of the country’s premier luxury real estate businesses and redefining what luxury service truly means. Instead of focusing on expensive homes, he explains why the luxury mindset is about delivering the same exceptional client experience whether you’re helping someone rent their first apartment or purchase a $50 million estate.
