View All ListingsRod Appleton was our real estate agent when we were looking for a house in this area 15 years ago. Because of his excellent knowledge, professionalism, communications and dedication to us throughout the buying experience, it was only natural for us to have Rod be our agent when we decided to sell the house he helped find for us 15 years ago. He made the selling process look easy. He walked us through it every step of the way, from timing and pricing of the sale, staging and photos to inspections and final closing. If we ever move back to this area, we will want to rely upon Rod once more.
We had a fantastic experience working with Rod on our client's home purchase. He was professional, responsive, and incredibly knowledgeable, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. We highly recommend Rod for anyone looking to buy or sell a home!
Rod was a pleasure to work with. He assisted with a difficult HOA issue, helped me find assistance with prepping my house for showings, provided a stager to lend expert advice, and more. Rod is patient, professional, and cared about my house sale/my big move across the country. I couldnt have done it without his help.
Rod exercised a great deal of patience with us in an extremely difficult market. His advice regarding suggested bidding prices was both insightful and accurate in a market of extreme over bidding. We were in a final position of needing to waive inspection to obtain our home and Rod explained the process patiently and in a manner that left us feeling confident in our final decision (got the home and love it). He was never pushy and conducted himself as a principled person, which we especially appreciated. Love Rod and would highly recommend him.
Rod Appleton sold our unique property in Virginia. His team showed us how to best present the house. They provided an exceptional video. The house was well advertised as coming soon so that we had many showings when we came onto the market. Finding the right buyer for our property took a number of showings, which started to make us nervous, but Rod helped us navigate the process to get top dollar. We recommend Rod for your home sale. He is knowledgeable, calm, responsive and professional. We enjoyed working with him.

Rod was fantastic to work with throughout the entire process. He was relaxed and upbeat, and made valuable suggestions at every turn without making us feel pressured. He did a sensational job of showing our house to best advantage and lining up lots of interest, and it paid off with a sale price way above our expectations! Rod should definitely be your first choice realtor to work with in Loudoun County!
Rod Appleton is the absolute best! He is organized, knowledgeable, kind, patient, extremely hardworking and the list goes on. We cant say enough about our recent experience with Rod!!! Rod will make sure to find the best fit for you and make sure youre completely happy! If you are looking for an amazing realtor, Rod is your guy! We are truly blessed to have had him as our realtor.
Five stars! Rod Appleton is a consummate professional and was a blessing to our family. He helped us sell our townhouse and he also navigated the tricky timeline with the purchase of our new home. Excellent with the nuances of Real Estate contracts, we highly recommend him to our friends and family. Even after all was said and done, we could tell that he didn't think of us as just another transaction, but rather a family that he truly cared to see find their perfect home.
Rod was nothing short of amazing during the entire house buying process and has continued to be a blessing to our family. He was extremely patient with us as we narrowed down our locations and desires for the perfect house. He was always available when we needed him but never pushed us into a decision. We had weird hours that we could talk or meet up and he was wonderful working with our schedule. Definitely give him a call when you are ready to find the perfect home for you!
I highly recommend Rod for buyers or sellers. My family and I move frequently due to my work and have used a few different realtors over the years with mixed results. Rod was the best of them all. He is knowledgeable about the NoVA market and the technical aspects of real estate. Probably the best part is the time and effort Rod spent working with us without any pressure. He was our agent first when we rented a home in Loudoun then again when buying in Clarke county. If we buy or sell again I'm still going with Rod.
We were referred to Rod by our lender, Navy Federal Credit Union. Rod was great to work with and helped us find our home. He was also able to help us navigate the challenges that came up along the way. A true professional, I highly recommend him for your real estate needs!
Rod Appleton has the outward appearance of a normal human, but when he gets down to business, he exhibits characteristics of a miracle worker. I needed to sell a fairly low-end property with some pretty prominent drawbacks. Rod not only advised me how to proceed to best advantage, in very short order he produced buyers willing (eager!) to overlook those drawbacks. Less than 10 days before closing, a negative mold report put closing in jeopardy. I immediately had the place mold-treated, but despaired of getting a re-test back in time (normally a 6-day turnaround). Rod somehow produced an expert who re-tested the day after the place was treated, and the report somehow was available in 24 hours after the test. During this entire process, Rod never lost his cool, always kept a positive outlook, and was unfailingly courteous and respectful to me and the buyers. My property was sold before it ever made it to the MLS. I submit that if Rod did not have some type of "super powers," this sale would never have happened. Needless to say, if you need an excellent real estate agent in western Loudoun County VA, I highly recommend Rod Appleton.
Rod is far and away one of the best people on the planet. It's to our great benefit that he is also a top-notch realtor. We presented him with some unique family needs that made our situation challenging, a home on the low end of the market, and limited money and energy to get things up to par for the sale . From the first meeting, he made us feel completely comfortable, and gauged our limits along the way - gently suggesting improvements but never pressuring. He handled the inevitable glitches (on our end - old home!) with calm and solid advice. He sold the house in 48 hours, and guided the sometimes-challenging inspection process to an on-time end . He also helped us through the simultaneous purchase, one county away, all the while helping me track the voluminous paperwork, contractors, inspections, etc. Start to finish, from first interview through sale and purchase, we spent an intensive 3 months with Rod and never once had any doubt about his integrity, savvy, or advice. There are not enough stars. We are thankful to have worked with him.
Maybe every relocation has hiccups. Ours certainly did. Two things impressed me the most about Rod as our buyers' agent -- despite the hiccups caused by the sale of our home in another state. First, he was so patient with us. Rod continued to work with us as if we were his most important clients. Second, he was so organized and professional. He clearly explained the process, maintained the agreements and amendments in perfect order, and kept us informed at every step. It was a real contrast to other real estate agents we have worked with.

We came to Rod after listing our house unsuccessfully for 9 months. From staging to closing, he met all challenges head on with timeliness, professionalism and compassion and got us to settlement in a relatively short period of time. He understood our needs and requirements and didnt hesitate to advocate for us effectively in spite of difficult circumstances.Needless to say, he went above and beyond our expectations. We are blessed to now consider him a friend,

Rod was wonderful to work with when we sold our home. He was super helpful and patient with us as we went through the process. His help with the prep, staging, listing and showings was invaluable. He was available when we needed him. We have sold homes in the past but Rod was the first agent we have worked with that we felt was working for us and not just to sell a house. He came highly recommended by a number of friends and we would highly recommend him.
Rod was awesome! He sold our place within a month and helped us purchase a beautiful home in a great community. He was very informative, communicative, flexible and encouraging. I would recommend him to anyone who wants a great home selling/buying experience!
Rod has been an outstanding help to us buying in 2008 when we moved into the area and now selling our home as we moved out of the area. He is an expert in our part of the metro area, a good negotiator, client manager and is highly professional. We greatly appreciate his help.
If you are looking for a seasoned real estate professional who is an excellent listener and guide, Rod should be your go-to agent. He has helped my wife and I with the sale and purchase of home and proved to be the best agent we have worked with after having gone through this process several times. He patiently guided us through the process, remained calm in the midst of stress, and brought his expertise to bear. Rod is also an excellent communicator, both in capturing the big picture as well as the smaller details that accompany every real estate transaction. Rod also has good judgment and authentically cares about his clients. He is a delight to work with and a super person. We strongly recommend reaching out to him with your next real estate transaction!
Rod is by far the best realtor I have ever worked with, and this was not my first rodeo. He listed my house, attending to every detail thoroughly and with professionalism and a positive, personable demeanor. Rod has now set the bar for my expectations of a realtor. He was totally in my corner and very responsive throughout the process. Rod helped me to ensure that my home was ready to show well, and priced accurately based on careful research of the market. My home sold to the first buyers to look at it on the first day that it was on the market for the asking price. Rod is the ultimate example of what a realtor should be and do for the client. I highly recommend him to anyone ready to engage in the real estate buying or selling process.
OUTSTANDING - TIRELESS - THE PERSON YOU WANT AT YOUR SIDEWe had not bought a home in over 15 years and felt like rookies - Rod walked us through everything, patiently answered all our questions - and that was just the opening phone call. He saw our vision. He willingly took us well out of "his territory" and set up viewings from Luray to Winchester. He advised us through every step - helping us keep the proper perspective and awareness. He tirelessly worked through countless issues. He quickly responded to all our inquiries - even at night and during the holidays. He negotiated everything we asked for. And he got us help with the financing. But most and best of all - we have gained a friend. You can't do better than having Rod help you find a home.
Our Century 21 realtor (Rod Appleton) was absolutely the best! He listened to our needs and very rapidly created a list of local properties which meet our list of requirements. Within the first hour of searching, he had found our dream home. It was only the second property we looked at because he so closely learned our desires and so expertly knew the area. Despite locating the ideal house immediately, he still spent many more days searching and driving us around in order to ensure that we left no stone unturned. We had only really needed a couple hours of his time, yet he spent days and weeks so that we knew we were making the best choice. His support continued throughout the contract, inspection, and closing processes. I just can't say enough about how great he was!!!
Rod was very knowlagable and reactive,always available to respond to questions. Gave great advise on preparing our house for listing.Rod sold our house only 3 days after listing.I highly recommend Rod.
We found Rod Appleton to be very personable and approachable. It was important to us that a Realtor be readily available via phone, email, and text messages, and Rod didn't disappoint. He uses technology to his advantage, and pays attention to the small details like using professional photographers for staging photos. Due to having to relocate with only six weeks notice, we had very little time to prep the home for sale (including getting various items repaired as part of the process). Rod helped make it as smooth of a transition for us as possible, coordinating and scheduling handyman estimates and supervising the work while we were gone. His experience and meticulous research allowed our home to receive multiple offers within a week of listing during sub-freezing temps and snow storms in late February. We wound up accepting a full price offer thanks to Rod's advice!
Honest, knowledgeable, responsive, professional in all of our interactions--he provided us with a great flyer to help show our house as well. A great guy to work with!!
