20+ years in San Francisco, helping buyers and sellers find their next home

Hi there - I’m Marcelo Vilela, your new SF Realtor! Let me tell you a little bit about myself…

I was born and raised in the Bay Area, and I've called San Francisco home for more than 20 years. This isn't a city I moved to for a job — it's the one I grew up around and chose to build my life in, which means when I talk about a neighborhood's character or a building's quirks, I'm speaking from two decades of actually living here, not a market report.

Before real estate, I spent 15 years in tech PR and communications — strategy, spokesperson training, media relations. It's a background built on making complicated things clear and helping people communicate under pressure, and it's exactly what I bring to buying and selling a home. I won't bury you in jargon, and I won't tell you what you want to hear just to keep things moving. You'll always know where you actually stand.

I work with a limited number of clients at a time, on purpose — so you get real attention, not a queue. Whether it's your first home or your fifth, my job is to make sure you understand every decision along the way, at a pace that works for you.

Outside of work, you'll usually find me with my husband, Bryan, and our dog, Lola — at a movie, or out exploring one more corner of this city I still haven't gotten tired of after 20 years.
