    About Cecilia Whitley

    Since 2016, top-producing agent Cecilia Whitley has guided people to reach their fullest potential through real estate. Committed to creating a positive client experience, she goes out of her way to provide customized assistance with outstanding results that keep her business referral-fueled. Cecilia's philosophy is simple: Clients come first. Despite winning multimillion-dollar deals and elite awards, her inspiration doesn't come from numbers or recognition it comes from reaching her customers' goals and building lifelong friendships. Cecilia was first introduced to real estate in 1984, when she did part-time administrative work for an agent while caring for her son, Sterling. She eventually switched career paths to become a director of procurement with a legislative branch of the government, and she ended her career as Associate Commissioner, running the largest procurement division in the State of Texas and regularly overseeing billion-dollar contracts for the remainder of her 34-year tenure. After retirement, Cecilia combined her two work experiences to form her own superstar real estate company, Sterling & Associates Real Estate. Cecilia stays dedicated to making each transaction as smooth and successful as possible, and she doesn't believe her work is done until her clients are satisfied. Both responsive and trustworthy, the committed agent gets to know her customers on a deep level to understand their needs and deliver them exceptionally. Along with highly personalized assistance, Cecilia leads the industry in research, the use of technology, and consumer education. Even so, she remains a phone call away to answer any questions that may arise because she believes communication is key to providing top-level service and building lasting relationships. To stay on top of her game, Cecilia receives high-level training from various coaches. Her hard work shines through in the numbers she's won over $41 million in transaction volume throughout her career and $16.5 million in 2021 alone. Cecilia holds several licenses and certifications, including the Real Estate Negotiation Expert, Pricing Strategy Adviser, Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist, Seniors Real Estate Specialist®, and Short Sales and Foreclosure Resource. While she specializes in farm and ranch sales, the solutions-oriented consultant can also aid new-home and first-time buyers and relocators to accomplish their objectives with local market expertise, thorough communication, and the utmost professionalism.

    Nicole is a fantastic realtor! She was diligent, communicative and always on time for house tours. We had a few curve balls from the seller but she persisted and got us all of the information that was vital for closing. She also had great recommendations for lenders and inspectors. It was a great experience, highly recommend.

    Ricardo was great to work with. He was knowledgeable when it came to the market. Everyone's situation is different and he handle ours as expected. We had to sell fast and we did. He had a professional photographer that came out and did some amazing pictures for us. Over all, I would recommend Ricardo.

    Nicole was great through the entire experience. We had a tough time dealing the selling agent who was ghosting us constantly and did not think we'd be able to close on time. Nicole reached out to numerous people within their brokerage and set them all straight and we were able to close right on time! She's the best and will use her in the future!

    Nicole was very responsive when requesting to see new properties, and would immediately find a time to show us a listing. We loved how quickly she responded, and that part made the process much easier for us. However we felt very rushed through the process of looking at each house individually. We would have liked to have more time to consider each property more carefully. Additionally, we felt very rushed through the closing process where she asked for immediate responses while my husband was away at work, and it is very difficult to reach him. While she knew this, she would push to get a response within the hour even though due to our schedules were not always able to accommodate that. We would have liked more understanding due to our situations. We felt there was a lack of communication at closing during negotiations. We requested her professional opinion on the best course of action at different points through the process, but we did not receive it -which made the process a bit frustrating as first time home buyers. She was late to our closing date, and after which we never heard from her.
