David Rodriguez is an aspiring Commercial Real Estate professional and an ambitious real estate investor that has focused on distressed residential properties. His interest in real estate was simply sparked by curiosity and it quickly became his passion, so much so that he became a licensed Realtor.

A native of Los Angeles, David graduated from Pepperdine University with a degree in Business Management and completed graduate coursework at Sacramento State University and Fordham University. He has nearly 20 years of professional experience in sales, operations, and legislative affairs.
Early in his career, he was selected for one of the nation’s most prestigious and selective fellowships working at the State Capitol in Sacramento. Later, he was recruited by a Fortune 500 financial firm to join their team as a sales executive. He subsequently transitioned from sales into operations, working for two different national brands managing operations in California. David has been recognized for his accomplishments in leadership, sales, operations, and mentoring future leaders. He is a member of the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC), Urban Land Institute (ULI), NAIOP, the National Association of Realtors, California Association of Realtors, and the Southland Regional Association of Realtors.
David recently completed Project REAP’s (Real Estate Associate Program) 10-week Commercial Real Estate training program in New York City. The REAP Program offers its student participants exposure to all aspects of commercial real estate through a combination of classroom instruction, taught by industry experts, and on-site commercial property visits. He has since relocated back to Southern California, where he hopes to launch his new career.
