Riley Avendaño, Realtor
Real Estate Negotiation Expert | Accredited Buyer Representative | Luxury Real Estate Agent
As a dynamic and sophisticated young professional in the luxury real estate market, I bring a fresh perspective to the home-buying experience. With a deep understanding of the neighborhoods, culture, and hidden gems—from the best coffee spots to exquisite dining options—I am dedicated to crafting a lifestyle that aligns with your dreams. Tell me your vision, and I will pave the way to make it a reality.
I graduated from the University of California, Davis, with a degree in Sociology, focusing on Law and Society. This academic foundation has equipped me with strong analytical skills and a nuanced understanding of the legal and societal factors that influence real estate transactions. My career began in Washington, D.C., where I honed my skills in customer service and professional correspondence while working for the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, focusing on grant writing and fundraising initiatives. This experience taught me the importance of effective communication and strategic negotiation—skills that I now apply to my real estate practice.
Upon returning to my hometown of Ojai, California, I embraced the community that shaped me. Settling in with my Rottweiler, Ada, and my fiancé, I developed a profound appreciation for the hard work and dedication it takes to achieve homeownership. My aspiration is to see our community flourish, and I am committed to helping families and individuals begin their journeys in this vibrant area.
Since launching my real estate career in 2018, I have successfully transacted numerous multi-million dollar purchases and sales, earning recognition for my negotiation expertise and client-centric approach. I also take pride in mentoring fellow agents, fostering a collaborative environment that elevates our collective success. My youthful energy and enthusiasm invigorate the market, and I am passionate about creating meaningful connections with my clients.
Continuing my education is paramount to my professional growth, and I recently obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting. This knowledge allows me to provide my clients with valuable insights into the financial aspects of real estate, ensuring they make informed decisions that align with their financial goals.
I understand that buying or selling a home is one of life’s most significant decisions, and it’s my mission to make the process as seamless and enjoyable as possible. My approach is characterized by transparency, open communication, and a genuine desire to see my clients succeed. Whether you are a first-time homebuyer, looking to upgrade, or seeking a luxury property, I am here to guide you every step of the way.
Let’s connect and explore how I can help you achieve your real estate dreams. Together, we’ll find the perfect home that reflects your lifestyle and aspirations, making your vision a reality.

Recommendations
Cannot recommend Riley and her team enough! She was amazing with her responsiveness and communication. Having grown up in this area, she knew the market so well and was able to give us informed suggestions and recommendations throughout the process. I
felt like she was my realtor therapist and we could be open and honest with all of our thoughts and concerns- she always came from a place of understanding and patience. She went above and beyond with all her efforts- going on tons of house tours for us while
we were living remotely. She was able to help us navigate through challenges with transactions, and with her help we are now living in a dream house!
Riley went beyond the call of duty to make my home purchase the best experience I’ve ever had purchasing a home. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is both an Angel and one heck of an Agent! ??
Riley was so sweet and answered every question I had promptly and in detail. It was a long journey to find the right house at the right price but when we finally found it, she got the ball rolling and made sure everything was conducted smoothly and professionally.
