Real Estate is an exciting and fulfilling career and having worked for the past thirty consecutive years locally, I have a story to tell.  Concentrating initially with buyers for the first five years led me to understand and relate to many differing points of view, situations in life, expectations and above all commitment. In the interim years of building knowledge, expertise and quality assurance, I found marketing exhilarating.  A journey into reality. In my earlier life in San Francisco, I was an educator who made the easy transition into real estate sales and property management when the market was in its cyclical down turn and hard to predict. But survival is the name of anyone determined to succeed.I am a contributor to Marin Symphony Orchestra, Marin Speakers Series, St. Hilary Church Choir Member, two local women's advocacy groups, Secretary of two local executive boards and Treasurer of a Novato school board member's election committee.  I am a lifelong cat lover and have one cat, Kitty2.   Success is a determinable component and having the opportunity of achieving the goals of friends and clients is both rewarding and beneficial to the soul. As a seasoned agent with Compass, this is quality personified. Testimonials “Cecile is simply the best!
