About Chelsea Banaszek

Licensed Real Estate Salesperson | NY

The Strategic Force Behind Westchester's Most Trusted Mother-Daughter Real Estate Team

Born and raised in Armonk, NY, Chelsea Banaszek is a second-generation real estate professional who serves as the strategic operations and marketing leader for one of Westchester County's top-performing teams. With deep roots in the community, Chelsea brings both insider knowledge and modern expertise to every client experience.

The Power of a Mother-Daughter Team:

Chelsea and her mother Aurora have built something rare in real estate: a true partnership where decades of experience meet cutting-edge strategy. While Aurora brings 23+ years of market expertise and client relationships, Chelsea brings 10+ years of real estate marketing experience and runs the engine behind the scenes—ensuring every detail is handled, every timeline is met, and every client receives seamless, white-glove service from first contact through closing and beyond.

Chelsea's Role & Expertise:

Operations & Marketing Leader: Chelsea oversees all day-to-day operations, marketing strategy, listing preparation, client communications, and transaction coordination—ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.

Technology & Innovation: With hands-on expertise in Compass's cutting-edge tools and AI-driven marketing platforms, Chelsea creates innovative strategies that give Westchester listings maximum exposure and help buyers discover opportunities others miss.

Strategic and Creative Problem-Solver: Known for her creative solutions and meticulous attention to detail, Chelsea anticipates challenges before they arise and keeps transactions moving smoothly even when complications surface.

Tailored Client Experience: Chelsea excels at understanding each client's unique needs and tailoring the team's approach—whether it's a first-time buyer, luxury estate seller, or investor navigating a complex transaction.

Deep Local Knowledge: As an Armonk native who grew up exploring every corner of Westchester County, Chelsea knows the communities intimately—Bedford, Chappaqua, Pleasantville, Katonah, Greenwich, CT and Northern Westchester, NY—bringing the insider perspective that only a lifelong resident can provide.

Professional Background:

Before joining Aurora's team full-time, Chelsea spent two years as a Real Estate Marketing Associate in New York City, working with agents and corporate offices to develop high-impact marketing campaigns. She then consulted for Westchester County agents before becoming licensed in 2020 and partnering with her mother at Compass.

Why the Mother-Daughter Model Works:

Together, Aurora and Chelsea deliver what most agents can't: the perfect balance of experience and innovation, relationship-building and execution, strategic vision and flawless follow-through. They reach all generations of buyers and sellers, combining Aurora's decades of negotiation expertise with Chelsea's modern marketing savvy and operational excellence. Clients never wonder what's happening or feel left in the dark. They have a team that's always available, always prepared, and always working in their best interest.

Beyond Real Estate:

Chelsea holds a Bachelor's Degree in International Studies from Elon University and is a Certified Yoga, Meditation, and Mindfulness Teacher (currently training as a Yoga Therapist). She has led wellness retreats in the Hudson Valley, Costa Rica, Guatemala, and Morocco, and brings the same intentionality and care to her real estate practice that she brings to her teaching. When she's not working with clients, you'll find Chelsea exploring Westchester's trails, traveling, practicing yoga, or enjoying the natural beauty that makes this area so special.
