I was born and raised in Oxnard and I have spent my life in these towns, from the Ventura beaches to the Simi Valley cul-de-sacs. My job is to fill in the gaps and hand you the whole picture, so the decision is always yours to make, at your own pace. Hablo español.

Testimonials

Real families. Real keys.

Every review is straight from Google.

“Richard and Edgar were absolutely amazing throughout our home-buying journey! They were especially helpful with navigating the VA loan process, answering all of our questions, and keeping us informed every step of the way. They were patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely went above and beyond to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Thanks to their hard work and dedication, we were able to close on our home even faster than we expected! We are so grateful for everything they did for us and will definitely use them again in the future.

We highly recommend Richard and Edgar to anyone looking to find their home. They truly make you feel like you're in great hands from start to finish!”

VA buyers

“If you're looking for results, Edgar is your man. He and his team made our dream come true… our first home!”

“He was very responsive, patience and knowledgeable. Its our first time buying Condo, so we have so many questions, Edgar kindly answered and if he does not have the answer he would find out for us. He would accommodate weekend and evening time, since my husband and I work Monday to Friday. I definitely recommend him, you will not regret.”

“Edgar was so kind and patient with us as we worked together to get our first home. He would immediately return our calls and always had an answer for our questions we had. Always had good advise and different options. Thank you Edgar for all you did to make our dream come true.”

Mirna & Carlos

First-time buyers

“Working with Edgar and his team to make one of the biggest purchases in my life, buying my home, was the best decision I made. His team made it a stress-free experience. He did this by walking me through each step of the home buying process, described in detail what the expectation was of me, and stressed that we were a team, and he was going to look out for my best interests. And he delivered. I enjoyed his transparency, his patience, and his experience and professionalism were on full display throughout the whole buying process. From showing me various houses during the middle of summer, to drafting a proposal and walking me through it in the late hours of the day (even though there was another bid and ours was chosen!), to coordinating and managing the various inspections, walking me through various paperwork and contingency removals, it was all a pain-free experience. I definitely recommend Edgar and the Brenes Group!

So don't hesitate and reach out!”

Luis

First-time buyer

“My experience with Edgar during the purchase process was excellent. This is the second time we've worked with him, and as always, he demonstrated a high level of professionalism, extensive market knowledge, and unwavering commitment at every stage. He was always available to answer my questions and provide clear and timely guidance, which made the process smooth and efficient. …”

Frequently asked questions

1. Which areas do you serve?

All of Ventura County. I was born and raised in Oxnard, and I work with buyers and sellers in Ventura, Camarillo, Port Hueneme, Somis, Moorpark, Simi Valley, Thousand Oaks, Newbury Park, Oak Park, Westlake Village, Santa Paula, Fillmore, Piru and Ojai.

2. Can you help with the loan too?

Yes. I am licensed as a real estate agent and a mortgage loan officer. Rates, payments, what you can actually afford: I can answer those questions myself. When it is time to get the loan moving, I connect you with my senior loan officer, and I stay on the line the whole way.

3. Do you speak Spanish?

Sí. Hablo español. We can talk through every step in English, in Spanish or in both, whatever is easier for you and your family.

4. Is any question too small to ask?

No. Ask me anything, however small it feels. You get a real answer, and if it takes a little digging, I find out and come back to you the same day.

5. What happens after I reach out?

I walk you through each step before it happens and tell you exactly what is expected of you and when, so you can plan ahead and feel confident at every step.

6. What if I am not ready to buy yet?

Buying next year is a perfectly good answer. I would rather you be ready than hurried, and I am glad to help you get there, whenever that is.
