Get to Know Me

Ceci Cook has more than a decade of experience, successfully selling real estate in the San Francisco Bay Area, specifically in the Peninsula and South Bay/Silicon Valley. Currently, she lives in Healdsburg, the California wine country serving clients in the North Bay, focused in Sonoma and Napa Counties.
 
Ceci's expertise comes from her working with clients in Silicon Valley in the Dot-com era. Whether they were buying their first home, selling and upgrading to a new home, or buying an investment property.
 
Ceci was always ready to negotiate the best terms on their behalf. Subsequently, she moved to the North Bay to live in the wine country. After moving from the hustle and bustle of the South Bay, she experienced first-hand the process of what many people are trying to do these days - relocate to the countryside to enjoy life at a slower pace.
 
Ceci believes in a life of continual community service and volunteerism. She has been serving on the Sonoma Country Day School Parents’ Board of Directors 2010-2020. She also volunteers in the community whenever the opportunity presents itself. Prior to moving to the wine country, while in the South Bay, she volunteered at the East Palo Alto Senior Center as a member of their Board of Directors. In addition, she served on the Board of Crisis At Home Intervention, a non-profit organization that helped children who were being displaced due to drugs and problems at home.
 
In real estate, Ceci sees her role, first and foremost, as helping you achieve your real estate goals. With a Bachelor of Science in Business Management along with a Diploma in Education (Teaching Credentials), Ceci stands ready to help you with all the challenges that come when you're buying or selling a home.
 

Education

  • Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) - Commercial Real Estate Analysis and Investment, A post-grad Certificate – Ability to assess the financial viability of real estate development projects. 
  • Menlo College – Bachelor of Science in Business Management, emphasis in Economics and International Business.
  • International Diploma in Education- a 4-yr program to achieve teaching credentials, emphasis in Mathematics and Science from Tonga Teachers College, South Pacific. In addition to the core subjects, this program uniquely afforded an opportunity to learn on a deep level about one of the most rare and dying cultures in the world including the authentic art to perform its different dances, ending in representing the Kingdom of Tonga to many international events, most notably The World Expo ’88 in Brisbane, Australia; Pacific Festival of the Arts in Townsville, Australia 1988; International Youth Village in Tokyo, Japan in 1989, and many more involvements on government events. Looking back in my carrier and life in general, I value this experience so much and decided to include it in my bio, which previously was never been mentioned.
