Mission

At CGX, we are dedicated to promoting culturally responsive real estate practices that prioritize equity and justice in community development. Our mission is to combat gentrification by empowering individuals and businesses from diverse backgrounds to become homeowners and commercial property owners. Through our innovative approach, we aim to foster inclusive and sustainable communities where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

Introduction

 At CGX we are redefining real estate through a lens of cultural responsiveness. As a leader in the field, CGX is committed to addressing the systemic inequalities present in the real estate industry by promoting equitable access to homeownership, commercial property ownership, and affordable housing. Our mission is driven by the belief that every individual and business should have the opportunity to participate in and benefit from the real estate market. We rise to the challenge of creating inclusive and vibrant communities through culturally responsive real estate practices. 

Robert Carrillo is the Founder and President of CGX. With twenty-five years of experience across all segments of real estate, Robert is well-positioned to understand how residential real estate and commercial real estate impact community development. "One cannot and will not exist without the other. It is on real estate professionals, developers, elected officials, and community residents to be informed and come to the table with a win-for-all mentality. However, we understand that 'power concedes nothing without demand...it never has and it never will.' (Frederick Douglas), so we strive to inform and empower our communities."  

Robert is an educator, having served as a middle school & high school Special Education teacher in the Bronx and San Bernardino, mentor to high school and college students, resimmercial coach, and certified eXp mentor. He's been serving 10+ years as Treasurer and Finance Chair on the board of directors of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Health Center. He co-founded two youth development programs, in 2010 and 2013, that continue to impact young lives today.   

Robert is supported by Yvette Romero, an Associate at CGX. Yvette transitioned to real estate from nursing - in the medical field for over twenty years - and is still about helping people. Her impact on the community is broader through real estate than in the nursing unit. Homeownership improves health outcomes. The lack of secure shelter is a public health crisis. "The reason I joined Carrillo Group CANY is because I understand how real estate impacts health & community. The business of real estate goes beyond buying & selling houses. Once you see the connection between commercial real estate and community development, it is hard to ignore the gaps in opportunity and equity."
