Get to Know Me

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.
WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
Today’s market is a challenge when it comes to buying a house. I knew what I wanted and I didn’t want to have to compromise just to get a something. I had spoken with at least 2 other REALTORS prior to meeting Cecilia, I told them my expectations and what I wanted and one REALTOR told me “well that’s going to be hard in a market like this.” after that I didn’t hear from them again, which lead me to meet ...
