Our Team

Ms. Castro is a seasoned entrepreneur, executive and fund manager, that has a strong reputation as an innovator in the United States real estate and mortgage finance industries. Her unique ability to combine a savvy business sense with smart risk management strategies is what sets her, and any team she leads, apart in the finance world. Born the daughter of Cuban immigrants in Inglewood, California, her upbringing created a passion and drive to build up blighted and impoverished neighborhoods while expanding access to housing for all. With this goal in mind and capitalizing on her ability for predicting real estate trends, Trixy saw an underserved niche for real estate professionals needing access to assets and financing for real estate acquisitions. This led her to start Genesis Capital, LLC in 2007. Taking her institutional banking background, she elevated the space by creating a true private money platform. Genesis Capital took the credit and underwriting risk models of larger institutions and combined it with the concierge service of smaller organizations. With this approach she grew Genesis Capital to become an industry leader and sold to Goldman Sachs in January 2018.

The success of Genesis Capital lead her to start Genesis Auctions in 2011. With her borrower clients needing access to more assets, she created the first technology driven real estate disposition platform for investor buyers, giving them access to purchase distressed properties while also providing them the capital to purchase them. The growth of Genesis Auctions led to an acquisition of Hudson & Marshall, LLC. in April of 2015. The combined company was a leading real estate auction platform which she sold to Fidelity National Title in May of 2017. Coming into 2021 stronger than ever, Ms. Castro has launched Aureus Finance Group, showcasing her and her team’s depth of experience and market knowledge.
