About Rodger

With over 43 years of real estate experience, Rodger Kooser brings a depth of knowledge, perspective, and care that can only come from a life spent working closely with people. Originally from Pittsburgh, Rodger spent the last nine years in Historic Kenwood, where he embraced the vibrant culture and close-knit community of St. Petersburg. Guided by a simple yet powerful philosophy — treat others the way you want to be treated — he approaches every interaction with honesty, hard work, compassion, and respect. Rodger's path to real estate is as unique as his skill set. Before entering the profession, he spent years traveling the world as a professional musician, an experience that taught him how to connect with people from all walks of life and listen deeply to what matters to them. Later, his work designing and building hotels and restaurants refined his understanding of space, design, and functionality — knowledge he brings to every buyer and seller he represents. Having owned and operated a 50-agent office, managed residential development sales, and guided countless clients through life-changing moves, Rodger is a hands-on professional known for his strong communication, market insight, and unfailing dedication to achieving outstanding outcomes. Specializing in St. Petersburg's most sought-after neighborhoods — including Downtown, the Old Northeast, Old Southeast, Historic Kenwood, and Snell Isle — Rodger is passionate about helping clients discover homes and communities that truly fit their lives. To him, success is seeing the joy on a buyer's face when they realize they've found the right place. His clients often share their gratitude long after closing, a testament to the care and attention he brings to every step of the process. Beyond real estate, Rodger and his husband, Max, are deeply connected to the community. Each year, they prepare and personally deliver holiday meals to the homeless. When he's not working, you'll likely find Rodger enjoying the St. Pete music scene, discovering local restaurants, relaxing at Treasure Island beach, or spending time at home with Max and their dog.
