Tesa Walters

Tesa Walters brings a rare blend of calm counsel, sharp marketing, and operational rigor to Wine Country real estate. Born and raised in Sonoma County, and active in local youth and foster-care initiatives, she leads with listening and consistently puts her clients first.

Starting her real estate career in 2007, Tesa has advanced across the industry, from serving buyers and sellers as a REALTOR®, with a specialty in complex equestrian and country estates, to helping launch a local brokerage and later managing a large Northern California territory for Compass – building systems and processes that make complex transactions feel simple and prioritizing targeted strategy for every client. Her corporate real estate experience spans brand strategy, budgeting, campaign execution, collateral design, operations, and team leadership. Curated and measurable marketing with data driven results have been a focal point of her career. As Compass’ Associate Marketing & Operations Manager for Wine Country, Sacramento, Reno and Tahoe she oversaw the marketing and agent operations teams for the geography and consulted with the area’s top-producing agents on go‑to‑market strategy and platform best practices – expertise she now brings directly to her clients.

Today, Tesa represents buyers and sellers throughout Sonoma and Napa counties, pairing thoughtful counsel with the tools and reach of Compass. Few know the platform’s resources as deeply; Tesa leverages its tools, marketing programs, and network to maximize exposure while safeguarding her clients’ time and privacy. Calm, meticulous, and data-informed, she treats each listing like a brand launch and each purchase like a tailored search, grounded in research and genuine care for people. Proudly partnering with Peter Colbert and the Wine Country Colbert Group—top-1% in the SF Bay Area, top 1.5% nationwide, and $500M+ in sales—Tesa brings clients an unconventional, results-driven playbook.
