About Us

Meet the Women Behind The CK Team.

As co-founders and team leads of The CK Team at eXp Realty, Kayleigh Mayer and Catia Leon have built their business around relationships, local expertise, and making real estate feel a little more personal.

Our Story

Real estate built around real life.

Serving buyers and sellers throughout Westchester, Putnam, and Dutchess Counties in New York and Fairfield County in Connecticut, Kayleigh and Catia bring firsthand knowledge of the communities they serve, because these are also the places where they live, work, raise their families, and spend their everyday lives.

As moms, business owners, and real estate professionals, they understand that life is busy, and real estate has to fit into it. Their business has grown alongside their families and through the many seasons of motherhood, giving them a genuine understanding of what goes into a move beyond bedrooms, bathrooms, and a closing date.

From school schedules and commutes to needing more space, finding the right community, or simply figuring out how to make a move work with everything else happening in life, they meet their clients where they are.

Together, they have created a team centered on approachable guidance, strong communication, local knowledge, and relationships that continue long after closing. Whether you are moving across town or making the leap from NYC to the suburbs, Kayleigh and Catia are there to make the process feel manageable, informed, and personal.

How We Work

What You Can Expect From Us.

  • Approachable Guidance

    No jargon, no pressure, no question too small. We explain each step in plain language and give you the room to make decisions at your own pace.

  • Strong Communication

    You always know what is happening and what comes next. We respond quickly, we tell you the truth about pricing and timing, and we never leave you guessing.

  • Local Knowledge

    We live in the communities we serve. School schedules, commutes, which street floods, which block is quiet: it is not research to us, it is our everyday life.

  • Relationships That Last

    Closing day is a beginning, not an end. Many of the people we have helped move are now friends, neighbors, and the first to send us a referral.
