Adela Rivera

Realtor. Educator. Negotiator-
I believe real estate is more than just buying or selling property. It’s about changing lives.
My journey didn’t start in real estate—it began in the classroom. After earning my Master’s Degree in Education from San Diego State University, I spent years teaching both elementary students and adults in Poway, Vista and Long Beach Unified School District. That experience shaped how I serve my clients today—with patience, empathy, and a gift for guiding people through life-changing decisions.
In 2008, I transitioned to real estate with one goal in mind: to serve others in a deeper, more lasting way. I saw how homeownership could provide stability, security, and opportunity—and I knew I wanted to help others experience that.
Nearly two decades later, I’ve had the privilege of helping families across San Diego and Riverside Counties achieve their real estate dreams—whether buying their first home, selling a beloved property, or investing in their future.
I work with first-time homebuyers, teachers, doctors, first responders, military families, investors, and sellers. I also help those looking to move up into a larger home or downsize into something more manageable. My clients come from all walks of life, but they all want the same thing: a Realtor they can trust to lead with integrity, educate with clarity, and advocate with heart. My background in education gives me a unique edge—I simplify the process and ensure my clients feel informed, empowered, and cared for every step of the way.
But what truly drives me is people. I treat every client like family—because that’s how I believe business should be done.
Speaking of family—I’m a wife of 29 years and a proud mom of four amazing children who inspire me daily:
My oldest son is a Naval Officer currently in medical school in Montana.
My second son is a credentialed teacher and passionate about shaping young minds.
My youngest son serves in the United States Air Force.
And our daughter—our little princess—is thriving in middle school, filling our home with joy and laughter.
I love traveling, hiking, crafting, volunteering with Pop Warner Cheer and Girl Scouts, and spending Sundays at church with my family. These moments keep me grounded and remind me of what truly matters: faith, family, and service—the same values I bring to every real estate relationship.
If you’re looking for a Realtor who listens, leads with heart, and walks with you every step of the way—I’d be honored to serve you.
Let’s turn your real estate goals into reality—together.
