Meet Rudy Mariscal: Fostering Community at Grand Missouri

In the heart of Grand Missouri, where the spirit of community thrives, there’s a member of our team who stands out with a personality full of warmth and dedication: Rudy Mariscal, the community manager at Grand Missouri. With his infectious enthusiasm and genuine care for residents, Rudy plays a pivotal role in making Grand Missouri a place to live and a home for everyone who walks through its gates.

In a recent interview, Rudy shared insights into his journey at Grand Missouri. He is getting ready to celebrate his third year with Roots Management Group, and he smiles as he shares the experiences, challenges, and core values that drive him forward.

Rudy’s passion for connecting with people shines through in his daily interactions. Whether helping a family find the perfect home or simply lending a listening ear, he finds fulfillment in fostering a sense of belonging within the community.

“Grand Missouri has partnered with St Vincent De Paul two years now, holding a clothing drive.” Says Rudy. Community engagement is at the heart of Rudy’s role, and events like the clothing drive exemplify his commitment to making a positive impact beyond the confines of Grand Missouri. By collaborating with local organizations, he enriches residents’ lives and strengthens ties with the wider community.

Helping residents find a home to purchase and qualifying them are two of Rudy’s biggest responsibilities. And Rudy goes above and beyond. “One of my biggest challenges is converting my rental homes to make them homeowners. If they had lending issues, we would figure out why and ask them to fix that, and we can revisit in 6 months and reapply for financing. Since they are already established living here, I wouldn't uproot them. Since working at Grand Missouri, I have converted 6 out of 8” says Mariscal.

Rudy’s resilience and problem-solving skills shine through in his approach to challenges. By providing personalized support and guidance to residents facing obstacles, he not only helps them achieve their dreams of homeownership but also strengthens the fabric of the community.

“Grand Missouri, the place we call home” is Mariscal’s favorite saying with residents.

This simple yet powerful motto encapsulates the essence of Grand Missouri—a place where residents aren’t just neighbors but family, and where every individual is valued and cherished. “My favorite part of my job is walking my new homeowners to their front door, saying "Welcome Home," and handing them their keys”. For Rudy, there’s no greater joy than witnessing the culmination of someone’s journey to homeownership. It’s a moment filled with hope, pride, and a sense of belonging—a moment that reaffirms the importance of his work in shaping the lives of those around him.

At the heart of Grand Missouri lies its residents—the lifeblood of the community. Rudy’s deep appreciation for the people he serves underscores his unwavering commitment to creating a nurturing and inclusive environment where everyone feels at home.
