Who We Are

Contigo means “with you” in Spanish—and that philosophy is at the heart of everything we build. At Contigo Real Estate, we are more than developers; we are partners in creating a vision of Baja living that is as stylish and sophisticated as it is sustainable.

As a husband-and-wife team with decades of experience in U.S. luxury real estate and development, we bring a refined design sensibility and a deep commitment to sustainability to every project. Since making Cerritos and Pescadero our full-time home in 2022, we’ve focused on building residences that are not only beautiful but also deeply connected to their environment.

Our developments are crafted for the discerning buyer who values custom design, high-end finishes, and homes that harmonize with their natural setting. From architecture that embraces the Baja landscape to interiors that blend modern luxury with local character, we believe each property should feel as timeless as the place it belongs to.

With Contigo, development is personal. We live here, we build here, and we are with you every step of the journey—creating homes that reflect not just a location, but a lifestyle.

Contigo Real Estate: Design-driven. Sustainable. With you.
