Irene Peña: A Commitment to Building Stronger Communities Through Real Estate

An overwhelming desire to help people, to be of service to others, and to contribute to her homeland, Rhode Island, in general, drove Irene Peña to real estate. Embracing these commitments, incorporated with tremendous experience and education, set Irene apart as one of the most respected figures in real estate guiding clientele through one of the most vital decisions people ever make—purchasing or selling a home.

Irene launched her career in 2013 with Rhode Island Housing, where she swiftly earned a reputation in the field of mortgage financing. Her Community Lending Coordinator role exposed her to first-hand experience and education in dealing with an overwhelmed clientele—the first-time homebuyers—by the logistics of real estate. Add to that, Irene would be in a position to direct the applicants on how to access a mortgage, the total amount payable for financing, and the experience of owning a home, thus truly situating her importance to many. It was a really good feeling to know the work she had done when a client was able to realize his or her dream to become a homeowner; with each completed application, she only had greater feelings of accomplishment.

In addition to being on a career promotion, Irene also sought after and involved herself in the acquisition of higher education as a step which would ensure personal development and success in the career. At The Sawyer School of Business, Irene took Business Management, which has enabled her to apply principles of ideal business performance in the operation of any form of business. Feeling an urge to further upscale her knowledge and skills, she joined Roger Williams University in 2018 for Community Development studies. She wanted to get a clear insight into the reasons for agony to communities through property abandonment and how such intervention in its revitalization is changing the face of neighborhoods.

In the course of her studies and working experience in the real estate industry, Irene learned that many financing methods had been expressed by other homeowners over many years. Others include owner-occupied revitalization funding, homestead assistance, and down payment and closing cost assistance. Accessing financial resources to restore homes for community improvement has made her excel and has made her a realtor of great repute with a mission to serve.

Irene was born and bred in the state of Rhode Island. That is evidenced on everything she does here in the state. Born in the urgency of making Rhode Island a blooming state, she aids citizens in achieving one of the biggest causes in life: a place to call home. It is that deep bond, in fact, that makes up the building block of her real estate practice, in which she has not looked on every transaction as a business deal but as the ability to make contributions toward her fellow Rhode Islanders' betterment.

Through participation in many leadership roles, such as serving as a Realtor and Director of The Providence Board of Realtors, or serving on the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee, Irene has given complete commitment to her chosen profession and her community in which she lives, in an effort to make a difference in the real estate world. She works towards ensuring fair treatment for all people irrespective of their background or any other prevailing condition. In the involvement with these organizations, she has shown her commitment to foster the real estate market, where everybody belongs and everybody has a place.

For Irene, real estate is very personal. She realizes that buying or selling a home can't just be a financial transaction for a person, it happens with their emotional and very often life-changing involvement. That is why she pledges to work diligently and with great dedication for her clients but will never forget to appreciate the diversity in their needs and backgrounds. Relationships with clients don't end just because a transaction does; instead, she tries hard to be that ongoing trusted adviser and resource long after the deal is closed.

For Irene, real estate is more of a profession than a business. She helps people make the dream of owning their perfect home a reality or selling a property for the best possible price. With all her great experience, confirmed knowledge of the local market, and urge to create relations based on trust and honesty, Irene knows the way to help her clients in each of the stages of their real estate way.
