Born and raised in the Northeast, Cynthia originally set out to be a fashion designer. She attended the prestigious Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City before deciding to further pursue her education in Art History and Interior Design on the West Coast. Cynthia’s wanderlust for life inspired her to travel the world. She has lived in some of her native country’s most beautiful places, including Newport Beach California, Maui Hawaii, Aspen Colorado, New Orleans Louisiana, St John’s Virgin Islands and lastly Westport Connecticut before discovering her true home in soulful San Miguel de Allende. She has resided here for over a decade with her two locally rescued cats; animal rescue remains a mission that is close to her heart. After many years of being in the art world, the pinnacle of her art career came when partnering with gallerist Kamil from Monte Carlo, where she worked amongst some of the top avant-garde European artists. Cynthia then turned to representing and managing luxury retail businesses, including Swiss watchmaking company Franck Muller, Madison Avenue’s Fred Leighton “Jeweler to the Stars” and then successfully launching “Paris Underground Antiques” in Aspen before opening her own mid-century design shop in New Orleans “What Modern Was.” Naturally combining her passion for architecture, design and her finely-honed people skills was the inspiration behind yet another career move as a luxury real estate agent in Aspen, thus allowing her the freedom to continue traveling and writing.
Cynthia shares her wealth of design, luxury sales and almost 20 years of real estate experience with her clients here in San Miguel de Allende. Her enthusiasm and zest shines through in her work and remains her focus in helping others. Whether it’s being sensitive to her buyer’s needs, sellers requiring advice on how to stage their home or a property negotiation from a simple pied-a-terre to navigating the largest private residential transaction in San Miguel´s history, Cynthia is here offering her expertise, never-ending energy and support to realize her clients real estate goals!

"Crystal Calderoni is the best. After completely disappointing (non) results working with another agent, we luckily found Crystal, who has deep roots in the San Miguel community, extensive knowledge of the area’s real estate landscape, and an expansive network of resources to assure that you won’t miss any available opportunity. An indefatigable dynamo, Crystal worked tirelessly to find us the perfect home in San Miguel and guided us seamlessly through the often fraught housebuying process. She’s wise and savvy and is scrupulously honest about the strengths and pitfalls of each prospective house and neighborhood. She’s a shrewd negotiator and makes what can be an exhausting, frustrating experience a truly fun adventure. You couldn’t ask for a better real estate agent.
Two more totally satisfied clients! "

"If you are looking for a broker who is a clear communicator, passionate, enthusiastic, persistent, holds a vision of success and is genuinely both personable and knowledgeable, then Crystal Calderoni is for you.
Real Estate is a dynamic business. We found that Crystal was completely up to speed with market trends. She understood how to direct the photographer to superbly represent our home and she helped craft the language in a clear and inviting way to describe our property.
We are truly grateful Crystal was our broker. She was a pleasure to work with and always had a creative approach to finding a buyer and marketing our home. In a down market she was masterful."
- Susan Perkins and David McKenzie.
"We met Crystal Calderoni while looking at the home ads in the window of her office. She did not wait for us to come into her office to ask questions, but she came outside to ask us if we had any questions. That was the start of a beautiful Realtor-client relationship. After learning about the kind of housing we sought, Crystal diligently searched all avenues for homes that met our needs and took us to see several outstanding homes on the market. We had to return home to Texas when our vacation ended but Crystal continued to work hard to help us get information so we could make a decision on whether to buy and which home to purchase. Then she arranged all of the paper work through mail and Email for us to close on our Dream Home! Since we were not able to be in San Miguel de Allende for the closing Crystal was able to arrange for us to sign a Power of Attorney for her to do the closing for us. Every step of the way Crystal was reaching out to help us through this process, going far beyond any normal effort to assist a client. Since we wanted to sell our Texas home before moving to San Miguel, Crystal even found a renter for our new house to provide income until we were ready to move in. I do not know of any Realtor that would go to that extent to help a client. Every step of the way Crystal went above and beyond the call of duty to help us. Every phone call and Email message was answered promptly. If you are looking for a Realtor who is #1 in satisfying her clients, look no further than Crystal Calderoni. She made us feel like family."
Thanks!
