What personal tragedy inspired Colleen Marquez's journey?
I'm not the most important person in the room. I'm not the smartest person in the room, and I'm not maybe meant to be the richest person in the world, and that's okay. I always thought that my no was just one step closer to my yes.
Colleen Marquez is a real estate leader, entrepreneur, and the founder of Home on the Rock Real Estate Team. Drawing from her background in business strategy, marketing, and client advocacy, she helps individuals and families navigate real estate with confidence while creating opportunities for long-term growth and financial security.
I used to be in technology consulting and I use all of those technology skills to navigate this digital world to bring you the best options and to bring you the best data. So that way you're making informed decisions when you're making offers or you're pricing your home and you know that you're doing the right thing because numbers don't lie. My approach to real estate is find a way or make one. If the perfect house doesn't exist for you, we'll build it. We'll find the land. But moreover... It spans the globe like a super high school internet. Elvis! Today, Apple is going to reinvent the phone. It's not over until I win. The Living Your Legacy podcast.
How did Colleen build resilience after loss?
For those who live to leave a legacy.
That's extraordinary. The impossible. Oh, that is sensational. Open. Chicago with the lead. Usain Bolt is the fastest man on the planet. You can live.
Welcome back to another episode of the Living Your Legacy podcast for Inside Success. I am Ray Gutierrez, at least I think I am. This is Colleen Marquez. She's joining us fresh off her episode. She is the founder of Home on Real Estate, excuse me, Home on the Rock Real Estate. You're the founder, the CEO, the all powerful, or how does this work?
Well, honestly, in real estate, when you're a team, you're all individual contributors, you're contractors.
What role does faith play in Colleen's life and business?
But I am the, I guess, visionary and the glue that brings all those pieces together. And yeah, I just one day decided that I was going to do my own thing and I haven't looked back.
So I briefly looked at your show notes because we're prepared here. It says that originally from Miami. Talk about your background.

I was born in Jackson Memorial.
Okay.

We're US 1 and 136. We're by the falls. I've got family all up and down Florida. And, you know, now I'm in Tennessee. And I've been there almost a decade. Wow. Yeah. So Nashville is definitely a different vibe. Yeah.
I love Nashville. It's such a great place. It reminds me a lot of Austin. I know the, what's his face? You know that one country singer?
The one that threw the chair?
What mindset shifts helped Colleen overcome rejection?
Morgan Wallen? No, the nicer one, Garth Brooks. I was in his office cutting a project. Every time I hear Nashville, I'm like, I was in his office. Did I get to meet him? No. Did I meet his manager? Yes. Nice guy.
There you go. That counts for something.
Absolutely. Thank you for that.
You got through the security.

I love it. Deserved.
it was totally like cheers to you oh yeah no but that's solely a sly miami move um talk about what it's like being born in miami but thriving somewhere else oh man um it's definitely different you know i've lived a lot of places and one of the things i love about miami is that there's a melting pot of just different culture and one of the things i really miss is food So I used to get my favorite Jamaican patty ever from this gas station. Everywhere I go, they say, do you want a midnight sandwich? I'm like, what is this? I'm like, that's wrong. And that's Italian bread. Nice try.
Yeah, that's like you were right. It's a French baguette, bro. Get out of here with that shit.
Yes. So, you know, it's definitely different. But I appreciate all cultures and all different kinds of people.
