About Elena

Meet Elena Vargas

Resort property specialist on the American Riviera.

Portrait of Elena Vargas

REALTOR® · Resort Property Specialist

Sunlit homes and resort living.

Elena Vargas grew up between Santa Barbara and Guadalajara, and she still sees the American Riviera through both lenses: ocean light, tiled courtyards and homes meant for gathering.

She specializes in villas and estates where indoor and outdoor living blur, and she pairs every listing with resort-quality photography and a clear pricing plan.

When she is not showing homes, Elena is usually at the farmers market or walking Butterfly Beach with her dogs.
