Vanessa Pesce
Licensed Real Estate Salesperson
A New York native originally from Long Island’s Gold Coast, Vanessa brings a local’s knowledge and a well-trained eye for art and design to her clients. She grew up in Glen Head and graduated from Hofstra University where she earned a degree in Art History, and continued to master a deep understanding of the details that make a house a home. Vanessa’s interest in real estate was piqued when she purchased her first property in Manhattan. She fell in love with the feeling of finding the perfect home and became inspired to help others achieve the same.
Vanessa has had career success as a results-driven marketer and salesperson, with vast experience across industries including fashion, PR, and luxury automobiles. Most recently, she spent 20 years in Manhattan, leading marketing campaigns for several Fortune 500 companies. She’s now returned to her roots and is a sought-after real estate advisor at Compass Manhasset, where she applies her marketing acumen and strategy to real estate.
Vanessa is committed to delivering a seamless experience on both sides of real estate transactions. She loves collaborating with buyers to discover a home’s potential and supporting sellers by applying an “addition by subtraction” approach while staging. She is highly regarded as an agent who listens, delivers best-in-class service, and negotiates the best possible outcomes for clients. When she’s not viewing real estate, Vanessa enjoys traveling, the theater, and playing tons of tennis.
