VENTURA COUNTY — Camarillo resident Rebeca Elliott, an agent with Comfort Real Estate, was installed at the 2025 President of the Ventura County Coastal Association at the annual Installation Event on Jan. 16 along with this year’s officers and directors.
Elliott has been a Realtor for over 20 years after serving as a flight attendant for United Airlines and the administrative assistant to the CEO of Tenet Health Care, which was then based in Santa Barbara.
“They decided to relocate to Texas and the CEO asked if I wanted to relocate as well, and I said no,” Elliott recalled. “Soon after, I saw an ad about getting a real estate license, and I thought that would be a fun career move. I passed the test, and here I am – loving it.”

Her goals include guiding VCCAR through a year of change as the board and officers recruit a new CEO and as agents continue to adjust to changes in the commission structure enacted last year.
Joining Elliot on the Executive Committee are President-Elect Jeri Becker, a broker with NextHome Pacific Coast Realty; First Vice President Walter Morris, an agent with Keller Williams; Treasurer Dawn Durazo, Broker-Owner with Beach View Real Estate; Immediate Past President Cami Pinsak, a broker with Realty ONE Group Summit; and Interim CEO/Secretary Robin Morris.
New directors for 2025 are Katie Connelly, an agent with Keller Williams West Ventura County; Juliet Esquibias, CEO at Keller Williams West Ventura County; Suzzi Koenig-Brown, an agent with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties; and Brian Zell, an agent with Real Broker, LLC.
