Brignole.
Real estate. Home. Transition.
I guide clients through transitions with real estate expertise, interior vision, strategic perspective, and care.
One practice at a time,
in the order life asked for it.
Three practices exist rather than one because each answered a problem the one before it could not. A client can come in through a single door. It is the same hand throughout.
Real Estate
I began my New York real estate career in 2011, working with leading teams at Douglas Elliman before joining Time Equities in 2014. For years I worked on the development side of residential sales, representing sponsor inventory across Manhattan and Brooklyn.
That experience built a high level of expertise in negotiation, sales strategy, marketing, positioning and deal execution, with a deep understanding of how transactions are evaluated from both the ownership side and the client side.
Real Estate →Hygge Haus
Hygge Haus was created in 2014 out of a real estate need: finding better solutions for properties that were not performing at their full potential. Staging became an extension of the sales strategy, combining interiors, presentation, branding and buyer psychology.
Since then I have staged more than 120 residences for developers and private clients, bringing together interior vision and market strategy.
Staging →Origo Advisory
Over time I realized that behind every decision to buy, sell, invest, relocate or redesign a home, there is a person or a family moving through a transition. My advisory work grew from that understanding.
It brings my professional expertise together with an increasingly client-centered approach, to help people clarify what comes next and move through the transition with perspective and confidence.
Advisory →I have made the move I help people make.
I was born in Argentina and came to the United States at nineteen, building a new life, an education and a career in New York.
I studied Political Science and International Relations, and spent more than twenty years living and working in New York City before moving with my family to the Connecticut Gold Coast. Today I live in New Canaan.
My own experience with immigration, career building, motherhood, relocation and reinvention has shaped the way I understand change, and why thoughtful guidance through it matters so much.

“Home is not just a place.
Cecilia
It is a chapter of your life.”
My work lives at the intersection of property, aesthetics and the human journey. I bring intuition, strategy and experience to what comes next, so a transition feels considered rather than rushed.
Let’s talk →Relocation is not only logistical.
I am bilingual in English and Spanish, and I have worked extensively with international clients from Latin America and Europe as they navigate real estate, investment, relocation, and establishing a home in the United States.
It is also a transition of identity, family, culture and belonging. Being licensed in New York, Connecticut and Florida means I can guide the whole arc of that decision rather than a single leg of it.
Wherever you are in the transition.
One complimentary call, and no rush on your end.
