Vanessa Mitrica
Realtor™
Vanessa Mitrică came to real estate with a background most agents couldn't imagine, and it shows in everything she does. Before returning to Arizona, she earned three undergraduate degrees globally, taught at an orphanage in Tanzania, interned with the United Nations in New York, created a start-up in Hawai'i and consulted businesses in Barcelona. Those experiences didn't just build her résumé; they shaped how she listens, how she communicates, and how she shows up for the people she serves.
Her path through the industry has been equally intentional. She's held roles spanning front-line operations, CFO responsibilities, and talent development at brokerages with hundreds of agents - giving her a behind-the-scenes fluency in how real estate actually works that most agents never develop. Today, she brings that operational depth directly to her clients, pairing sharp market knowledge with the kind of honest, unhurried guidance that makes complex decisions feel manageable.
Outside of transactions, Vanessa is the kind of person who knows the best coffee spot in Arcadia, has a strong opinion about the book you should be reading, and genuinely wants to know how you're doing. She believes real estate is about guidance and education first - and that the best client relationships are the ones that last well beyond the closing table.
At Steward Homes, Vanessa delivers at the highest level because she never loses sight of what drives it - deep expertise, genuine relationships, and a standard of service that clients return to again and again.
