Luxury Living By Layna

Experience Elegance in Real Estate

Welcome to Luxury Living By Layna!

Where elegance meets expertise in real estate— whether you’re searching for a breathtaking estate, a sophisticated penthouse, or a serene retreat, I specialize in curating exceptional properties tailored to your lifestyle. With a keen eye for detail, market knowledge and a passion for high-end living, I provide a seamless, white-glove experience from start to finish. As a luxury real estate specialist, I focus on new custom builds, luxury home sales, and land acquisitions, helping both buyers, sellers and investors navigate the market with confidence and clarity. I have successfully worked with clients beyond the $1  million + range.
I am a proud member of the National Association of Realtors, the Illinois Realtors Association which includes North Shore of Barrington Assosciation of Realtors, AND the Wisconsin Realtors, which includes the Greater Milwaukee Association of Realtors of Young Professionals. 
Beyond real estate, I’m happily married to my husband, and we have a fantastic wiener dog named Frankie. I enjoy traveling, discovering new restaurants, staying informed on business and politics, enjoying nature, or hitting the gym. My background as a private licensed counselor  and school social worker has uniquely shaped my approach, allowing me to deeply understand people’s needs, emotions, and life transitions. Just as I once guided students and their families through important decisions, I now help my clients confidently navigate buying, selling and investing in luxury homes. 
Luxury isn’t just about the home—Luxury is about the knowledge, trust, and attention to details to make your real estate journey extraordinary. ✨🏡
