A Little About Rick
Rick Peña is a lifelong resident of Ventura County. Born and raised in Camarillo, he has spent nearly his entire life in the community he loves. He currently resides in Camarillo with his beloved dog, Piper.
As the founder and CEO of the Miracle League of the 805 (ML805), Rick has dedicated himself to creating opportunities for children and adults with special needs to experience the joy of baseball. In 2016, he set out on a mission to raise $1 million to build a state-of-the-art, fully ADA-accessible baseball field. With the support of an incredible board and the generosity of the community, he exceeded that goal—raising $1.3 million over six years. In 2024, the field officially opened at Freedom Park in Camarillo. Today, Rick continues to serve as the league’s president, ensuring that players of all abilities have a place to play.
Rick’s deep roots in Camarillo trace back to his father and six siblings, who grew up on a ranch in the Mission Oaks area near the east entrance of Leisure Village. A favorite family story is how his parents met—his mother was the pitcher for a softball team called “Rudy’s Cuties,” coached by Rick’s uncle, Rudy. Determined to meet the talented pitcher, Rick’s dad did everything he could to catch her attention—and the rest is history.
Experience
Rick Peña began his career in the Land Title and Escrow industry at the age of 23 as an Account Executive for First American Title. Over the next decade, he built lasting relationships with many of Ventura County’s top REALTORS®, earning recognition as the #1 Title Representative for five consecutive years.
In 2002, after a decade of working alongside top-producing agents, Rick obtained his Real Estate License and became a full-time REALTOR®. His commitment to professional excellence led him to complete the rigorous, college-accredited coursework required to take the California Real Estate Broker’s Exam in 2012—a designation held by only 5% of real estate professionals.
With over $300 million in closed transactions, Rick has established himself as a trusted real estate advisor, skilled negotiator, and dedicated communicator. His expertise ensures that sellers receive maximum value for their homes in the shortest possible time, while buyers benefit from his in-depth market knowledge. Whether you’re looking to sell your home, find the perfect family residence, or invest in real estate, Rick is the professional to interview for the job.
One thing that sets Rick apart is his 100% satisfaction guarantee. He is so confident in his ability to deliver on his promises that if, at any time, you are not happy with the relationship—even in the middle of a listing agreement—he will release you from the contract, no questions asked.
