Why we recommend Meryll Russell for Camarillo
Camarillo's market splits less by ZIP than by type of home. Zillow's typical values for 93010 and 93012 were within $7,000 of each other in September 2026, but the city also holds three large communities with 55+ housing, Leisure Village, Camarillo Springs and The Grove, each with its own HOA approvals, gate rules and floor plans. Leisure Village alone has 2,136 homes, and an agent who knows those communities' paperwork saves buyers and sellers time.
Meryll Russell's business is built around that part of the market. She runs separate websites for Leisure Village, The Grove and Camarillo Springs, each with model-by-model floor plans, HOA rules and insurance notes, plus a countywide site, Search 805 Homes. Her team's sites say she holds the Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES) designation. She is also a licensed broker based in Camarillo, which is why she is our recommendation for this page. It is a recommendation, not a ranking of every agent in the city.

How Meryll Russell works with Camarillo buyers and sellers
Buying in Camarillo with Meryll Russell
For a buyer, the first questions in Camarillo are often about the HOA. In Leisure Village, the association does not sell homes, and agents must file a realty authorization form before any showing. Some listings there call a den a third bedroom, and many homes need flood insurance. Ask her which models fit your budget, what the current dues are, and how the 55+ rules apply. Across the city's two ZIPs, Redfin's three-month figures show a median 47 days on market in 93010 against 61 days in 93012.
