About Cecilia
Before real estate, I spent fifteen years in credit risk and analytics, as a manager at BBVA Bancomer, Santander, HSBC and BNP Paribas, and as a consultant in Barcelona. I'm trained as an actuary with a master's in banking and finance, so I've spent my career putting numbers behind decisions. Buying a home is the biggest financial decision most families ever make, and I bring that same discipline to your transaction: understand the risk, explain it plainly, plan around it.
I started in real estate in 2018 at Houlihan Lawrence and have been an associate broker with eRealty Advisors since 2020. I came here from Mexico City and found a home in Westchester County, where our diversity is part of everyday life. That's why I work in Spanish as well as English. You should never have to sign a contract in a language that isn't yours.
Nothing in this job is more satisfying than a client who is genuinely happy at the end of it. We work as partners, and the goal is yours.
How I can help
Most of my clients are buyers, and many are buying their first home. From pre-approval to the closing table, I'll make sure you understand every number you're signing.
Careful pricing, strong presentation and steady communication. Co-ops, condos, single families and multi-family homes across the county.
Apartments, condos and houses for rent, for tenants getting to know the area and for landlords who need the right tenant.
Moving to Westchester from another state or another country? I'll orient you to the towns, the commute and the process. For owners at a distance, I also manage properties.
What to expect
We talk about your goals, timeline and budget, with no pressure and no obligation.
A tailored search or selling strategy built around what matters most to you.
I represent your interests on price, terms, inspections and everything in between.
I coordinate with attorneys, lenders and inspectors so closing day goes smoothly.
Where I work
These are the communities I know best, and where most of my closings happen. I also work just over the county line in Rockland and Putnam. Filter by what matters to you.
The county seat and my home base: a lively downtown with dining, shopping and high-rise living, plus quiet residential streets minutes away.
A waterfront city with a fast-growing downtown, homes at a wide range of prices, and express trains on the New Haven Line.
Grand older homes, strong transit and some of the best value this close to New York City. Fleetwood is a favorite with my buyers.
Tudor homes, tree-lined streets and a strong school reputation. I've handled both houses and co-ops here.
A harbor village with parks, a walkable center and an easy commute. Charming and tightly held.
Sound-side living with a working harbor, a lively main street and more room to breathe than its neighbors.
Small, walkable and well connected, with co-ops and condos that make good first purchases.
A diverse, food-loving village on the Byram River with real value and a strong rental market.
Hudson River views, the Old Croton Aqueduct Trail and prices well below the river towns to the south.
Northern Westchester space: larger lots, wooded settings and a quieter pace, including Shenorock and Yorktown Heights.
Wooded, private and close-knit, with strong schools and a reliable rental market for families in transition.
Westchester's largest city, with Hudson views, distinct neighborhoods and the county's most accessible entry points.
No areas match that filter.
Don't see your town? Ask me about it. I've closed from Mount Vernon to Carmel.
Client reviews
A few words from recent buyers and sellers.
As a first-time homebuyer, she guided me through every step of the process.
Friendly, very organized, and kept us informed throughout the process.
She took her time with us and made the impossible possible. She never gave up.
Plan ahead
A quick estimate of principal, interest and property taxes. Westchester property taxes vary widely by town and school district, so treat this as a starting point. Homes I've sold have ranged from about $150,000 to $1.6 million, and I'm happy to run real numbers on any of them with you.
