A native of Massachusetts, Rod and his wife Terry call beautiful Round Hill, Va., their home. They have three grown kids: Josh is in the USAF in pilot training and Ben and Emma are both attending VA colleges. Rod and Terry enjoy living on a dirt road in the country, travel, shopping for antiques, and caring for the dog, goats, cats, and Terry's horse boarding business at Appleton Farm. Rod also directs the Patrick Henry College Chorale and Youth Music Academy Choir. After 17 years as a Music Pastor in churches in California and Canada, Rod began his real estate career in 1997 in Orange County, Calif., before moving his family to western Loudoun County in 2005. Rod's business is built on referrals, and his Centurion status is due to a reputation for honesty, straight answers, excellent service, and a commitment to follow through. An accredited relocation agent with Cartus, Rod serves as a buyer or seller agent and is a member of NVAR and the National Association of Realtors. Rod will encourage his clients to do what is in their best interests, even if it does not result in a sale for him at all. If you want a slick salesman, Rod is not your man. But if you want an experienced, detail-oriented agent who listens, makes a plan, and then acts on it, give Rod a call.
Rod 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.

Mr. Rod Appleton is an exceptional real estate agent who delivers truly professional and customer-focused service. He has been our real estate agent for over twenty years for two buys and two sales. Throughout the entire process, he was kind, friendly, and consistently attentive to our needs. He never tried to upsell or push us into a home that wasn’t right, and instead prioritized what was genuinely best for us. His integrity and dedication made the experience smooth, stress-free, and even enjoyable. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Appleton to anyone seeking a trustworthy real estate professional who puts clients first.

We knew Rod from serving together in the local church, and so we knew we had a trustworthy, reliable, knowledgeable friend who would go the extra mile to help us. Rod certainly did! His advice on how to go about the sale and negotiation process was invaluable. We recommend Rod to anyone looking to buy or sell in Loudoun!

We loved the entire experience with Rod...from buying our first home to selling it 5 years later. He was extremely helpful and personable. His marketing is second to none. If buying or selling in the DMV area again, we will definitely use him!
