Personal Profile

Cecilia De Paoli

Commercial Realtor & Business Broker, Entrepreneur, Food Industry Specialist

With over two decades of entrepreneurial experience and a deep understanding of business operations, I bring a unique and strategic perspective to every commercial real estate and business transaction. Born and raised in Mendoza, Argentina, a region celebrated for its wine, natural beauty, and culinary traditions, I was immersed early on in a culture of craftsmanship, community, and innovation, thanks to the influence of my business-minded parents.

My journey began in 2001 with the launch of a small food delivery venture inspired by a trip to the U.S. That seed of an idea grew into a thriving regional food brand that supplied major retailers like Walmart. After 14 years of growth and leadership, I sold the business, a proud legacy that continues to operate successfully today.

In 2013, I relocated to the United States with my husband and soon found myself once again drawn to the flavors of home. I founded a gourmet baked empanada restaurant rooted in my Argentine heritage. With intentional branding, streamlined systems, and a loyal customer base, I built the business into a local favorite before successfully exiting after four years.

Today, I call North Carolina home, where I've channeled my entrepreneurial insight into the world of commercial real estate and business brokerage. I specialize in guiding business owners through the process of buying, selling, leasing, or investing in commercial property, and in navigating the complex dynamics of business acquisitions and sales.

My mission is simple: to help others succeed. Whether it's finding the perfect location, structuring a strategic business deal, or identifying a strong investment opportunity, I bring passion, integrity, and long-term vision to every relationship and every transaction.
