Venema Homes 

A Top Real Estate Team in Pleasanton, Tri-Valley, and the East Bay.

The Billion-Dollar Standard, Rooted in 40 Years of Local History.

Venema Homes is Pleasanton’s premier luxury real estate team, ranked among the top 1% of agents nationwide with over $1 billion in career sales. But for founder Liz Venema, these numbers are built on a foundation of deep community roots and a lifelong passion for the trade.

 

Experience That Runs Deep

Born in Seattle and raised in Walnut Creek by a builder father, Liz was taught early on that there is nothing greater than owning your own home. She purchased her first property at age 20 and has been rooted in Pleasanton for over 40 years. Having raised her two daughters through the Pleasanton school system, Liz didn’t just build a real estate career here—she built her life here.

 

Market Intelligence.

Personal Grit. Today, Liz leads a specialized family team serving buyers, sellers, and investors across Pleasanton, Dublin, Livermore, Danville, and San Ramon. We combine institutional-grade market intelligence with the kind of personal, high-touch service only a local veteran can offer.

 

When it comes to the Tri-Valley’s most sought-after neighborhoods, we don’t just participate in the market—we shape it. When you hire Venema Homes, you are hiring a team that knows this community from the inside out and will fight for every dollar you deserve.

What Our Clients are saying:

Lauren Guza

The Venema team was highly professional, thoughtful, and effective. We were selling our home while living out of the area, and they made the process of selling from a distance go quite smoothly. They also skillfully managed the significant amount of work that needed to be done on our home to prepare it for sale. We highly recommend this team!
