Throughout my recent home-buying process, Aaron Pena demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism, transparency, and strategic insight. Buying a home can be a stressful experience, but Aaron’s direct and honest communication made me feel supported every step of the way. Aaron’s expertise was particularly evident during the inspection phase. When significant concerns regarding mold and roof conditions were identified, he meticulously reviewed remediation estimates and provided a clear, realistic assessment of the risks involved. Ultimately, based on Aaron's expert advice we were able to reach an agreement that worked for all parties. If you are looking for a realtor who is a straight shooter, a fierce advocate, and a true professional, look no further than Aaron Peña.

Aaron was very knowledgeable about the market, was very easy to deal with in determining the listing price, next steps, and cordinating with the buyers' agent, the buyers and the closing attorney. He protected our interests and did everything expected of him. It was a pleasure to work with Aaron and I recommend him without any reservations.

Our Realtor Aaron Pena is knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely cared about us throughout the entire home-selling process. We always felt supported and confident with his guidance every step of the way. What stood out most was his dedication and professionalism, even while on his family vacation. He went above and beyond by acting as a strong facilitator and helping coordinate communication with the previous tenants, making a potentially stressful situation much smoother for us. We truly appreciate his commitment, responsiveness and hard work, and we highly recommend his services to anyone looking to sell or buy a home.

Aaron Pena is easily one of the best realtors I have ever worked with. He made our home buying process so easy when we were out of state. He is professional, a great communicator and always had our best interests in mind. I would absolutely recommend Aaron to anyone buying a home in the Jacksonville area!

Throughout the course of my 21 years in the military and the subsequent ten years, I have bought and sold numerous homes. Aaron Pena stands out among his peers and I would 100% recommend him and employ him again without hesitation. He understands the military, timelines, the real estate market, and as a former operator himself, knows how to accomplish the mission. My wife and I couldn’t be happier with his service. He was able to sell our home for our ask, and made the entire process extremely easy and hands off for us. We went with his recommendations on pricing and marketing the home, and couldn’t be happier. We wish we could take him to Virginia to act as our buyer’s agent, but he did the next best thing and connected us with another member of his team. Overall, Aaron Pena and Compass Military are an absolute joy to work with. I give him a 10 on a scale of 1 to 5. Thank you Aaron Pena!

Both Aaron Peña and Everett Lamaire were incredible to work with from start to finish. They were immediately responsive, very quick to find out answers to our questions, and on top of the process from start to finish. We were never worried about a thing because we knew they were on it and would get it all done. They made looking for and buying a home from out of state so easy. We are very excited about our new home and hope we won't be moving again for a long time. But if or when we ever do, Aaron and Everett would be our first call.

Working with Aaron Peña made my first time home purchase a breeze! Every issue that came up, he resolved in a timely, professional manner. Aaron has a great wealth of connections in the real estate industry that helped me develop a wonderful team to work with! Compass Military Division is a highly motivated, and efficient team that exemplified the virtues I learned in active duty service. As I am currently on active duty, there were a lot of complex challenges during my home buying journey. What stood out to me the most was Aaron's understanding and respect for the nature of my work. Communication was always done early and often, which made coordinating all the moving pieces very easy. Aaron Peña is a master of his trade. By the time I got the keys to my new home, he had saved me thousands of dollars, protected my interests from an unprofessional seller, and successfully negotiated all of my desires for the new house. I cannot recommend Aaron Peña and his team enough.

I had the pleasure of working with Aaron Peña to sell our home, and I can confidently say it was one of the smoothest real estate experiences we’ve ever had. From day one, Aaron was professional, proactive, and completely dialed in to what needed to happen to get our home sold efficiently. What really stood out was his communication and advocacy. Aaron kept us informed at every step, anticipated potential issues, and made sure we felt confident and supported throughout the entire process. Selling a home can be stressful, but Aaron’s calm, organized approach made it feel manageable and straightforward. The support from the Compass Military Division was another major advantage. Having a team that truly understands the military lifestyle — including PCS timelines, compressed decision-making windows, and the unpredictability that comes with service — made a huge difference. There was never a moment where we had to over-explain our situation. Aaron just got it, and that level of understanding streamlined everything. Working with someone who understands the military lifestyle isn’t just a bonus — it’s a game changer. The flexibility, responsiveness, and strategic approach tailored to military families gave us real peace of mind. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, communicative, and highly effective realtor — especially within the military community — I can’t recommend Aaron Peña highly enough.

Aaron is very knowledgeable and able to explain it in an easy to understand way, he is always checking in on you and updating you on the progress of everything. If you want him to find out any information he will always call back with an answer. He is very professional, personable, respectful, and kind. Aaron Peña goes above and beyond expectations. He acts in your best interest and makes sure things are done in the right way and without delays. I appreciate everything he has done for my family and I. I simply could not recommend anyone better and will from now on be our family's exclusive realtor.
