About Us
We’re Rebecca and Mauricio Solano, your hosts, with roots in Waukegan, IL. Before launching our real estate business, we both worked as teachers and shared a dream of creating beautiful, comfortable homes for others. What started in 2009 with a single renovation project quickly grew into a passion—one that’s now become our full-time work and family-run business.
Over the years, we’ve renovated a number of single-family homes and duplexes in Waukegan. As our projects expanded and our family grew, we made the decision to step away from teaching and focus on real estate full-time. This shift has allowed us to spend more time with our three wonderful boys—Samuel, Benjamin, and Nicolas—and dedicate ourselves to creating welcoming, thoughtfully designed homes for our guests.
We live just a few blocks away and operate our business, Greentown Rentals, right here in the neighborhood. Being so close allows us to provide quick, personal support and maintain each property with care.
Waukegan is a vibrant and diverse city with a rich history and a growing arts and culture scene. Located on the shores of Lake Michigan, it's home to scenic lakefront parks, nature preserves, and beautiful walking trails. You’ll find yourself just minutes from the Great Lakes Naval Station, the excitement of Gurnee Mills and Six Flags Great America, and about an hour from downtown Chicago. Whether you're here for a relaxing getaway, a family visit, or something in between, Waukegan offers a welcoming blend of urban access and natural beauty. We hope your stay has everything you need—but if anything’s missing, don’t hesitate to reach out! We’re glad you’re here.
Best Regards,
Rebecca & Mauricio Solano
