    ★★★★★
    Rodney was fantastic to work with. He had great instinct on what properties would be a good match. As a matter of fact, the very first one he showed me was the one we ended up buying! Very friendly, professional, asked all the right questions at showings (since I didn’t know what to ask), helped us secure the purchase competing with 3 other offers, and ensured a very thorough inspection process. A lot of other agents and professionals knew him during the open houses so clearly he is well established. I would happily recommend him. - Karen G.


    ★★★★★
    Knowledgeable, professional and amicable are the first three words that come to mind when I think about Rodney. These are three major reasons why you should want Rodney in your corner as your advocate when you are looking for a new house, condo or apartment to rent or buy in the Valley / Los Angeles area. Going into the process I did not know much about the area or fair market pricing but one half day with Rodney quickly got me up to speed. Throughout the process he was extremely professional, prompt and detailed with every step of the process. Rodney kept us on track with to-do's and up to date with new listings to view. The cherry on top was that from the first time I met Rodney, I truly felt like we connected like old friends. With all these traits I had complete trust and faith in Rodney. My partner and I were able to lock-in a great property in the area we wanted for a great price!!! If you are looking for a new property in this area I give him my strongest recommendation. - Mark B.

    ★★★★★
    It is not an understatement when I say if Rodney wasn’t my realtor, I wouldn’t have bought a house. He knew my (many) standards and expectations, helped me understand my best options, and even showed me places that I didn’t even know I would want until I saw them! He so patiently went on so many viewings with me, and no only showed up, but was truly my advocate at each one! From viewings, to negotiations during offer, and the many intricacies of escrow, Rodney guided and protected me every single step of the way!! He found me my perfect condo in WeHo, was able to help me negotiate my offer that was accepted under asking, and was THE most integral catalyst in my successful escrow! Rodney is truly the best realtor I could’ve asked for, and I couldn’t possibly recommend him more! - Sean C. 

    ★★★★★
    I emphatically recommend Rodney! I was connected to him through a friend whose Silverlake home was so great that I asked them how they found it. Not even six weeks later, I am moving into the most amazing townhouse I wouldn't have been able to find without Rodney's diligence, support and incredible work ethic. He is such a delightful person to work with and be around, so sweet and constantly putting in the time to help you find the right home (which is increasingly hard in LA). Thank you to Rodney and the Compass folks for being dependable, honest and so excellent at what you do. - Tara P. 

    ★★★★★
    Rodney Wittbrodt, without a doubt, encompasses everything a real estate agent should be. He is a nimble negotiator, an empathetic hand-holder, is always on the side of his client and actually listens to what his client needs, wants and must have. I can't imagine having anyone else besides Rodney helping me navigate a cross-country move. He quickly assessed my situation (I know nothing about LA neighborhoods), and made incredible recommendations that were not only spot-on but factored-in my circumstances. He is super responsive, and goes above and beyond what is expected to deliver the very best experience for his client. His follow-up and -through is, quite simply, amazing. If you aren't working with Rodney now, you should be. You will being doing yourself a favor, believe me. He is a gem. Ben F. 

    ★★★★★
    "My husband and I had the absolute honor to work with Rodney Wittbrodt in the purchase of our first home. From the moment we met him we knew he was our guy. Rodney made us feel safe and important. There was no question too dumb or crazy. We knew that he wasn’t just going to find us ANY home. We knew he was going to find us OUR home. And he did just that. Our house had not even hit the market yet and Rodney went to battle for us. He helped us draft up an unbeatable offer and wegot our house! If you are looking for someone who will take care of you and listen to what you want, look no further! Rodney, you are the best to ever do it! THANK YOU!!! " - Gina & Skyy G.

We look to refer him to others, and hopefully we will have a chance to work with Rodney again soon." - Alan & Kathy F.

Your attention to detail and communication skills with all parties is what allowed hurtles that could have been much greater to be handled with refinement and polish. I have already spoken on a call of you and your importance and the boundless role that you played in Mitchel’s loan. Youve gone far beyond your responsibility and it truly is remarkable! In the lending world we can only dream of being graced with a realtor who really takes the extra step and in this case you walked miles for your client. Your work and liveliness created an energy that carried this loan all the way down to the dangling keys at the front door. It has been more than a pleasure working with you. You most definitely will be the recipient of my referrals to anyone looking to work with a stellar realtor in CA. So much gratitude to you." - CJ Graham (Loan Originator)

We found the best fit for us, he worked his magic and we literally had him by our side as much as needed. If you’re Renting or Buying he’s definitely the right choice." - Jon and Celia

From the first moment of starting to search for a home to the last of moving into my new home, Rodney was present, attentive to the things I valued throughout the process, excellent at communicating with all parties involved and top notch negotiator.

    ★★★★★
    "Rodney was so helpful at finding us our dream apartment! He was super responsive and efficient at organizing a bunch of showings in a short period of time. He asked us details about exactly what we wanted and really tailored our showings to that. Once we got the apartment we wanted, he was essential to the walk through process because he was very detail oriented and pointed out things that needed to be fixed that otherwise we wouldn’t have noticed right away. It was so nice to have him do all the communicating and paperwork to finalize things. Lastly, he’s generally just a very cool and personable guy who my fiancé and I would love to be friends with. Would highly recommend." - Joan and Daniel

Because he listened to my needs, there was no glitch in the process and I’m amazed how simple he maid it. Moreover, I was looking for a place for almost three years, however it has been a challenge finding one that could meet all my requirements and he succeeded where many failed.

    About Rodney

    Rodney Wittbrodt has built his real estate career around a simple philosophy: treat every client, every property, and every transaction as if it were his own. As a Realtor with Compass in Los Angeles and founder of The Wittbrodt Team, Rodney has become known for combining sharp market knowledge, creative marketing, relentless follow through, and an unusually personal approach to the business.

    Recognized by RealTrends among America’s Best Real Estate Professionals, ranking in the top 1.5% of agents and teams nationwide, and named a Los Angeles Magazine Real Estate All Star, Rodney has established himself as a trusted resource for buyers, sellers, investors, landlords, and tenants throughout Los Angeles. His business spans everything from luxury homes and architecturally distinctive properties to condominiums, investment properties, leases, development opportunities, and complex transactions that require strategy, patience, and hands on problem solving.

    What sets Rodney apart is that he never approaches real estate as simply a sale. He understands that behind every property is a person making an important financial and often emotional decision. His clients value his transparency, responsiveness, attention to detail, and willingness to advocate for them at every stage of the process. Whether preparing a home for market, developing a pricing and launch strategy, negotiating an offer, coordinating inspections and repairs, or helping a buyer understand the nuances of a property, Rodney stays involved from beginning to end.

    His approach to listing properties is equally hands on. Rodney has a keen eye for architecture, design, presentation, and the details that influence how buyers experience a home. He works closely with photographers, contractors, stagers, designers, and other trusted professionals to ensure each property is positioned to stand out. His background in sales and marketing, combined with an instinct for social media and storytelling, allows him to create marketing that feels polished and intentional while still connecting with people on a personal level.

    Before real estate, Rodney spent more than 12 years in sales and management with Liberty Mutual Insurance, earning national sales recognition year after year. He developed a particular expertise in business development and relationship building, including securing employer partnerships that generated thousands of new client opportunities. That experience taught him how to prospect, negotiate, communicate with decision makers, and build relationships that last, skills that remain central to his success in real estate today.

    Rodney is a graduate of the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, where he graduated with High Distinction and received an Outstanding Student Award. His competitive drive extends well beyond his professional life. He is a longtime group fitness instructor, teaching Cardio Dance Blast, and has captained numerous recreational sports teams. He is also a violinist and lifelong music lover, an animal advocate, and someone who believes strongly in community involvement and human connection.

    Los Angeles is not simply the market Rodney works in. It is the city and lifestyle he genuinely loves. His appreciation for its neighborhoods, architecture, design, culture, and constantly evolving real estate landscape informs the way he advises his clients. He believes understanding a home means understanding the life someone can create there.

    Much of Rodney’s business today comes from repeat clients and referrals, something he considers one of the greatest measures of success. His goal is not simply to close a transaction but to become the person clients call whenever real estate enters the conversation, whether that is next month, five years from now, or for a friend or family member who needs guidance.

    Buying, selling, investing, or leasing, Rodney brings the same energy to every client: strategic when it matters, meticulous when details count, responsive when questions arise, and fiercely committed to protecting his clients’ best interests.
