Castaneda, international specialist, joins RE/MAX The Woodlands & Spring

THE WOODLANDS, Texas – Realtor Rod Castaneda has joined RE/MAX The Woodlands & Spring, bringing his many years of international service to the Houston area.

A former branch manager at a mortgage lender in Mission, Texas, Castaneda said he made the switch to real estate in 2009 because, “I am a challenge-oriented person, and real estate is one industry in which you can be as successful as you want to be. The harder you work, the more successful you are.”

As a Realtor at RE/MAX Elite in Mission, Castaneda was named as the brokerage’s Top Producing and Top Listing Units agent in 2011, was a member of the RE/MAX Executive Club for four straight years and in 2014 was named to the RE/MAX 100% Club.

Graduating at the top of his class with a BA in international management from Universidad Panamericana in his hometown of Mexico City, the “100 percent bilingual in both Spanish and English” Castaneda said that because of his background he works with many customers from many regions, and enjoys every challenge being a Realtor brings.

Castaneda said he joined RE/MAX The Woodlands & Spring to be a part of “the best in the industry and the most recognized RE/MAX office in Texas.”

“We are very fortunate to have a Realtor with Rod’s international experience join our office,” said Danna Furnace-Grimes, director of agent services and relocation director for RE/MAX The Woodlands & Spring. ”As the growth in this area continues, so does the influx of families searching for the perfect home. I am pleased that many of them look to us to fill that need.”

A truly international family, Castaneda met his wife, a native of Poland, during an exchange semester in Canada. Married in 2011, the couple has two daughters, Sophia and Alexandra, with whom Castaneda loves spending as much of his time as possible.

Castaneda can be reached at the RE/MAX The Woodlands & Spring office at 281-410-8162, on his cellphone at 281-948-8319, via email at rod@rodcastandea.com or through his website at RodCastaneda.com.
