Biography of Hilda Del Castillo

_________________________________

Hilda Del Castillo is a first‑generation American, born and raised in Southern California. From an early age, she showed a strong work ethic and drive to learn across various fields.

Her professional journey is marked by a diversity of roles — she has worked in banking, served as a medical lab assistant, operated as a Notary Public, and increasingly immersed herself in the real estate industry through sales, property management (both residential and commercial), and investing.

This broad foundation helped her to develop a deep understanding of finance, operations, legal documentation, customer service, and investment dynamics — all of which inform her approach as a real estate leader.

After more than a decade in real estate, Hilda fulfilled her long-held ambition of founding her own brokerage. She is the Broker & CEO of GEN23 Real Estate, headquartered in Canyon Lake, California.

Under her leadership, GEN23 offers a broad spectrum of services:

• Residential and commercial sales & leasing
• Property management
• Tenant representation

Hilda is licensed as a California real estate broker (Lic. # 01836993). She also speaks both English and Spanish, enabling her to serve diverse client communities.

Her specialty areas include landlord and tenant representation (residential and commercial), along with a focus on industrial, office, and retail property types. She works across the Inland Empire, Orange County, and San Diego regions.

Among her achievements, she has earned recognition such as “Broker/Owner of the Year,” and is affiliated with the National Association of Realtors (NAR).

One distinctive aspect of her company is the meaning behind the name GEN23:

“When everything shook in 2020, I looked to Scripture, specifically Genesis. I discovered that the first real estate transaction recorded was in Genesis chapter 23 (Abraham buying land). Genesis signifies the beginning, and 2023 represents the year to move forward — hence, GEN23 Real Estate.”
