Biography

Mayra Rivera is a distinguished and trusted Las Vegas real estate adviser known for helping buyers, sellers, and investors make confident, strategic decisions in one of the country’s most dynamic markets. Clients choose Rivera for her honesty, strong negotiation skills, strategic planning, resilience, and compassionate, hands-on guidance through every step of the process. She understands that buying or selling a home is often one of life’s biggest financial and emotional decisions, and she treats each transaction with the care, urgency, and strategy it deserves.

A proud UNLV graduate with dual degrees in criminal justice and psychology, Rivera built her career around understanding people, advocating for their best interests, and delivering results. She is the founder of The Rivera Group, now one of Las Vegas’ most successful real estate teams, and has helped hundreds of clients successfully buy, sell, and invest throughout the valley for more than 13 years. Her approach combines strong market knowledge, strategic planning and marketing, and proactive communication so her clients always feel informed and protected.

Rivera has been recognized multiple times as one of the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals’ (NAHREP) Top 250 Latino Agents in America and as one of the Top 25 Women in Real Estate by the Women’s Council of Realtors. She served as the 2023 president of NAHREP’s Las Vegas chapter. Rivera currently serves as a corporate partnerships director with ALPFA Las Vegas and as the mentorship program director for the UNLV Latino Alumni Chapter, where she supports and guides the next generation of professionals and leaders in her community.

Known for building long-term relationships, Rivera becomes a trusted real estate resource long after the transaction closes. Whether helping a first-time buyer, a growing family, or a seasoned investor, her goal is always the same: to protect her clients’ interests, maximize their opportunities, and make the process as smooth and successful as possible.

Above all, Rivera is driven by faith, family, and community. As a wife and mother of three, she understands how important home truly is and brings that perspective to every client relationship.
