About Cheryl Villanueva

My last name literally means “New House”. Guess what I'm most passionate about?

Selling or buying a home is one of life’s most significant financial decisions. Since 1998, I've helped home sellers and homebuyers navigate that process. Whether you’re a seller ready to achieve a record-breaking sale or a buyer searching for a home that feels just right, I combine decades of expertise, a proven track record, and a personal approach to deliver exceptional results.

I launched my career by building a top-performing real estate team, ranking #11 across CA and HI. I successfully earned the prestigious Platinum Award year after year and a place in the Hall of Fame. Later, I founded a boutique real estate brokerage, where I trained and managed 25+ agents to help clients succeed in every type of market.

In 2019, I was organically recruited to Compass, rose to Sales Manager, led 330+ agents and opened their newest office in District 5 of San Francisco - one of the most competitive markets in the nation. While I'm proud of these leadership achievements, I feel most fulfilled working directly with home sellers and homebuyers to deliver exceptional results. 

Today, I specialize in helping sellers maximize their property’s value with customized marketing strategies, expert negotiation and a deep understanding of the local market. 

For homebuyers, I provide personalized guidance that makes the process of finding and purchasing a home seamless, stress-free and rewarding.

My clients know me best for treating every transaction as if it were my own—ensuring every detail is handled with precision, honesty, diligence and a relentless focus and prioritization on their goals.

I'm proud to call the City by the Bay my Home. As a Native San Franciscan, I've attended all SF schools and earned my Bachelor's Degree in Business Marketing in just 3.5 years. I currently reside in Noe Valley with my husband, our two amazing boys and our dogs, Auggie and Massimo. 

Outside of work, you can find me exploring local restaurants, enjoying family date nights and spending quality time with my family and friends. 

Ready to sell your home for the highest price—or finally find your dream home?

Whether you are selling, buying or investing; I'm here to make your real estate journey smooth, successful and rewarding.
