Venesa has called Sonoma County home for many years, and that firsthand local knowledge informs everything she brings to her real estate practice. She serves buyers and sellers across Sonoma County — including Petaluma, Sebastopol, Santa Rosa, Sonoma, and Cotati — as well as Marin and Napa Counties, with the kind of attentive, honest guidance that clients remember long after closing day.
Before real estate, Venesa built a career that crossed hospitality, education, and entrepreneurship — experiences that sharpened her ability to listen carefully, communicate clearly, and stay calm under pressure. She holds a degree in Environmental Biology from Cal Poly Pomona, which speaks to a mind that values both detail and the bigger picture. That combination translates directly into how she works: thorough on the paperwork, thoughtful in the conversation, and always focused on what's actually best for her client.
Venesa is known among her clients for being genuinely responsive and present — someone who doesn't disappear after the offer is submitted. Whether you're a first-time buyer navigating the process for the first time or a seller preparing a home for market, she takes the time to make sure you understand every step.
She is part of The Olson Group at Compass, a boutique team led by Summer Olson Stubblefield, one of the top-ranked agents in Sonoma County. The team's combined expertise, marketing resources, and deep community ties give clients a distinct advantage in Wine Country's competitive real estate market.
Outside of work, Venesa spends her time hiking, baking, crafting, tackling home improvement projects, collecting vintage dishes, and enjoying time with her husband and daughter.
If you're looking for a Sonoma County real estate agent who listens closely, communicates honestly, and treats your goals like her own — Venesa is ready to help.
