Angelina Peña Realtor™Broker/Owner

I am a residential Realtor™; Real Estate Broker, Recruiter, Trainer, and International Real Estate Speaker. I work in Salt Lake City neighborhoods of Sugar House, Wasatch Hollow, Liberty Wells, and surrounding Cities. Helping others is my passion. I thrive on giving keys to buyers, marketing and advertising listings and watching Agents bloom to their full potential. I am a hands-on Broker, often going with new agents on listing appointments and assisting them with writing their first offers. My mantra is: ``Passion to Move You!``

I found my affinity for Real Estate in 2006. I transitioned from my job in the medical field, and quickly realized that Real Estate was my lifelong dream career. By 2009 my aptitude for the business led me to become an owner of three EXIT Realty offices. We Service the Sugar House and Millcreek neighborhoods of Salt Lake City and the other in Heber City/Park City, Utah.

I hold Bachelor Degrees in Advertising, Public Relations, and Interpersonal Comm. I delight in mentoring and developing new agents; educating clients about the market, and facilitating other’s dreams come true. To improve awareness about the benefits of homeownership, as well as the standard of service provided by real estate professionals, I conduct regular training sessions for our agents and the community.

I believe that REALTORS™ should be involved in the communities where we work. I've served in the community by volunteering or donating to People Helping People, the Sugar House Chamber of Commerce, The Road Home Homeless Shelter, The Sharing Place, religious contributions, Habitat for Humanity (including one home in Salt Lake City that my team and I worked on personally) amongst a few.

I enjoy promoting a healthy lifestyle which includes; traveling, eating out, live music, movies, stained glass art, and raising three fantastic children. I feel that my choice to work with EXIT Realty was the best choice I could have made for my family and my Real Estate career.

I am the Branch Manager for WaFd Bank at our Sugar House Branch. I have been in the banking industry for 36 years. I started as a teller with First Federal Savings & Loan and have grown with the company to the current “Best Bank” awarded WaFd Bank. Our mission statement is to serve the real estate, business and financial needs of the community while building long-term relationships. I love what I do and try to make a difference.
I enjoy people. I love working with them and assisting with their financial needs. WaFd Bank is a great company that allows me to provide exceptional service along with great products. I specialize in residential mortgage lending and business banking. I assist clients in learning what they are needing to be successful in the business and what they are needing in a home. I love meeting new people and learning what their needs are and then being able to help them obtain that goal.
I have volunteered for many years with Junior Achievement. I have enjoyed going into the classrooms of my children and grandchildren and teaching them about banking. To see them learn of the different ways in which the financial industry affects their lives is amazing. I have also volunteered with the Sugar House Chamber, Boy Scouts of America and United Way.
I am married and have 3 children and 4 grandchildren. I love having my children and grandchildren around. I enjoy all kinds of crafts. My favorite thing to do is to take long rides in the mountains on my motorcycle.

Katie Priest is a practicing attorney at the Salt Lake City law firm of Ray Quinney & Nebeker P.C. Katie’s practice is focused on government defense and employment law – which, in her mind, is the most interesting and engaging kind of law around! Katie is essentially a Utah native and obtained both her undergraduate and law degrees from the University of Utah. Katie is deeply committed to ending poverty as she has seen first-hand the difference that poverty can make in one’s life (in her own family and that of her clients). Katie’s specific interest is to disrupt the “school to prison pipeline” which so prominently effects those experiencing poverty.

Outside of work, Katie is a mom to two young children and is an expert in Netflix, and a not-so-expert in baking and grilling. Katie also enjoys true-crime podcasts and going for a run every now and again.

Rob works as an equity portfolio manager for a local non-profit. He is tasked with helping to grow the organization’s endowment, which supports its many charitable efforts. Rob has always been torn between the world of corporate finance and the non-profit sector. After graduate school, he initially took a job at a prestigious investment firm in New York City, only to subsequently turn it down in favor of the non-profit role he has held here in Salt Lake City for the past 14 years. He has found the opportunity to give back to the community and world to be more fulfilling than the prestige and pay of Wall Street. He has been blessed to be able to live the mantra, “doing well by doing good”, and he feels lucky to be able to straddle his two passions.

Rob graduated from the Yale School of Management with an MBA in 2007, and he earned a bachelor’s degree in Finance from Weber State University. He lives in Salt Lake City with his wife and 4 young children.
