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.
Alejandro Sosa
Alejandro Sosa is a licensed Texas real estate agent (License #0777117) and the team lead at Peña El Paso Realty Group. Alejandro is fully bilingual in English and Spanish, serving El Paso's predominantly Hispanic community with the ability to handle contracts, negotiations, and closings in either language. He specializes in buyer representation, new construction, and working with first-time homebuyers navigating the process for the first time.

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. Second, military specialization: we close more Fort Bliss PCS deals than most agents see in a career, including remote and sight-unseen purchases. Third, bilingual capability: Alex handles contracts, negotiations, and closings in English or Spanish.
Yes. Fort Bliss PCS is a core specialty. We've helped hundreds of service members and their families move to El Paso, including remote and sight-unseen purchases coordinated through video walkthroughs.
