Award-winning Mexican-American actress and LA’s newest realtor Vanessa Villela is the hottest addition to season 4 of Netflix’s highly-popular reality series “Selling Sunset” which is currently trending worldwide following its release Thanksgiving week. The show revolves around the drama at a high-end real estate brokerage firm in Los Angeles called The Oppenheim Group, and follows a group of elite and beautiful real estate agents as they navigate their personal and professional lives.
Vanessa, the former soap opera actress turned real estate agent, has quickly become a fan favorite for her refusal to take sides and viewers connected with her when she opened up about the sudden loss of her sister Jackie. Described as a sweetheart, she has fit in nicely with the other ladies on the show and has been received well by audiences worldwide.
Born in Mexico City, Villela began acting at a young age and attended the Centro de Educación Artística de Televisa, a performing arts and entertainment school in Mexico. She starred in a variety of TV shows and soap operas in Mexico and Colombia, which catapulted her to international stardom.

I was thrilled to chat with Vanessa about being thrust into the drama, maintaining good mental health and what’s next for season 5.
