About Cheryl Villanueva

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

Since 1998, I’ve been guiding home sellers and buyers through one of life’s most significant financial decisions. 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. My success earned me the prestigious Platinum Award year after year and a place in the Hall of Fame. Later, I founded a boutique 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 300+ 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 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 adventures and spending quality time with friends and family. 

Ready to sell your home for top dollar or find the home of your dreams? 

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