Today, we’d like to introduce you to Rodney Jackson. Rodney was introduced to us by the brilliant and talented Donna & Dwayna Morris & Williams.
Rodney, thank you so much for joining us today. We’d love for you to bring our readers up to speed – can you introduce yourself and share your story?
As a child who was born and raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to parents who were homeowners, I understood the importance of home ownership at a very young age. My parents’ choices drove my decision to enter the real estate industry. At age 21, I bought my first duplex; by 23, I owned three properties. Shortly after, I obtained my real estate license at 24 years old.
In 2006, I moved to Florida. As a realtor, transitioning into a new market and building up brand new clientele takes time, so to keep income flowing and to provide for my family, I waited tables and built my real estate business simultaneously. During this time, my son saw how hard I worked day and night to keep the bills paid, and one day, he said something that lit a fire inside of me. He said, “You are Rodney Jackson. You don’t have to wait tables!” This statement alone shifted my focus to becoming a broker, as my son was the inspiration I needed to get back on track and crush the real estate game.
2008 the market crashed, and foreclosures were at an all-time high. However, I began making a killing in short sales and earning more money with my negotiation skills than I did selling real estate. Once the market picked up, with my two licenses in real estate and brokerage, I pivoted with the ever-changing economy and moved my family to Phoenix, Arizona. In Phoenix, my business began to boom, resulting in a significant increase in customer acquisition. My targeted niche and selling approach landed me a stellar reputation, I was named the number two selling agent in Goodyear, Arizona, and I grossed $37 million in home sales. Looking back, I see that my success resulted from thinking outside the box and keeping God first, family second, and business third.
Today, I use my expertise to coach real estate agents by providing them with a roadmap in my newly released books, “Who Ate My Cookie,” and “My Proven System For Selling Homes For Top Dollar,” which highlight marketing strategies and systems for selling homes fast for top dollar. My coaching program, launching in late 2023, teaches agents what it takes to sell a home, market a business, and win in real estate.
Please tell us more about your brand, The Rodney Jackson Company
I am Rodney Jackson, a realtor, a million-dollar real estate coach, and the founder and CEO of The Rodney Jackson Company, a real estate and brokerage firm. I am also the author of “Who Ate My Cookie?” and “My Proven System for Selling Homes for Top Dollar.” Through The Rodney Jackson Company, my team and I specialize in home buying and selling and real estate coaching for those who want to sell their home, make an additional income outside retirement, or grow their real estate business beyond simply sustaining and making the bare minimum. I’ve been in the real estate business for more than 40 years, and when I look back on my journey, I’m most proud of the relationships I’ve built with my clients. My clients trust me wholeheartedly because of my genuine sincerity toward them and the knowledge and experience I’ve acquired over the years. This is a big deal, and there is no better feeling. What helps me stand out are my unconventional yet highly effective real estate selling strategies, such as paying for an appraisal and an inspection for my client before their house is listed. This is a highly uncommon strategy, but it has worked very well for me in helping to differentiate myself from the competition. To thrive and survive in this business, you must be creative and be willing to do what others won’t. Thinking outside of the box is crucial.
TGND Consulting has been a great friend to us and I know you’ve got a great relationship as well. Maybe you can tell our audience a bit about TGND Consulting and your experience with them.
When I was first introduced to Donna and Dwayna, I couldn’t figure out what was happening. A mutual family friend and business coach took the initiative to help me get things in the pipeline for my new business venture. Quickly, however, everything became so much more apparent. I’m thoroughly enjoying working with TGND Consulting because I am getting the attention I need and the quality of work I like. I’m thrilled with the entire process and feel this has been money well spent. Donna and Dwayna are always one step ahead of me in doing everything, which I love because I wouldn’t have known how to do any branding and PR work without them.
