About Peña El Paso Realty Group

Peña El Paso Realty Group is a residential real estate team based in El Paso, Texas, operating under Home Pros Real Estate Group (Broker License #9009766). John David Peña (License #0733512, Military Relocation Professional) leads the team alongside Alejandro Sosa (License #0777117, bilingual English/Spanish). Since 2020 we've helped hundreds of families across El Paso buy and sell, with four core specialties: local home sales, out-of-state relocation, military PCS to Fort Bliss, and new construction in Horizon City and Eastlake.

Our Practice

Peña El Paso Realty Group works across all seven of El Paso's major submarkets (West Side, Upper Valley, Northeast, East, Far East, Horizon/Socorro, Central/Downtown, and Lower Valley) with roughly an even split between buyer and seller representation. Our military relocation practice serves Fort Bliss PCS families across the country, including remote and sight-unseen purchases coordinated through video walkthroughs and virtual tours when families can't fly in to look. The Fort Bliss Concierge program walks PCS families through BAH, on-post vs. off-post decisions, VA loans, and gate-commute logistics, often before orders arrive. Alongside transactional work, we publish a monthly El Paso market report built from GEPAR MLS data, and we run ‘Living in El Paso Texas’ on YouTube (10,000+ subscribers, 90+ neighborhood guides, 1M+ lifetime views).

Owner & Lead Agent

John David Peña

John Peña is a licensed Texas real estate agent (License #0733512) and the founder of Peña El Paso Realty Group. John launched his real estate career in 2020 and quickly built one of the most active teams in the El Paso market through a combination of local expertise and video-first marketing. John is also the creator of “Living in El Paso Texas,” a YouTube channel with over 10,000 subscribers that has become one of the most detailed video resources on El Paso neighborhoods, schools, cost of living, and lifestyle. His approach to real estate is rooted in education: giving buyers and sellers the information they need to make confident decisions, whether they're across town or across the country.

Team Lead & Bilingual Agent

Alejandro Sosa

Alejandro Sosa is a licensed Texas real estate agent (License #0777117) and the team lead at Peña El Paso Realty Group. He lived in Mexico and the Pacific Northwest before making El Paso his home, and his fully bilingual (English and Spanish) service lets him handle contracts, negotiations, and closings in either language for El Paso's predominantly Hispanic community. He specializes in buyer representation, new construction, and walking first-time homebuyers through the process.

How “Living in El Paso Texas” Started

The YouTube channel started as a way to answer the same questions John was getting from relocating buyers over and over. “What are the best neighborhoods?”, “Is El Paso safe?”, “What's the cost of living like?” Instead of sending the same email five times a week, John started filming the answers. The channel grew to over 10,000 subscribers and now covers everything from neighborhood walkthroughs and school district breakdowns to Fort Bliss PCS guides and new construction tours. That video-first approach shaped how the entire team operates. Every guide on penaelpaso.com started as a question a real buyer or seller asked.

Three things. First, local depth: John grew up in El Paso and runs the "Living in El Paso Texas" YouTube channel (10,000+ subscribers, 1M+ lifetime views), so when we talk about Fort Bliss commute times or which SISD elementary is strongest, it's firsthand knowledge.

Third, bilingual capability: Alejandro handles contracts, negotiations, and closings in English or Spanish.

Yes. Fort Bliss PCS is a core specialty.
