About Us

Jolenta AverillA former IT executive specializing in trading floor technology who has lived and worked in five countries on three continents, Jolenta Averill not only understands the value of good technology but also the value of an outstanding relocation specialist. After 22+ years criss-crossing the globe, Jolenta returned to her hometown of Madison Wisconsin in late 2003 to begin a real estate career.  After five years as a top-producing Realtor at Restaino Bunbury & Associates and with the testimonials of her many valued clients to back her, Jolenta proudly went solo and launched her own real estate brokerage on January 1st, 2009. Madison-based Lake & City Homes Realty specializes in buying and selling lake, luxury, and lifestyle homes on behalf of our clients in the residential and residential income markets. We combine traditional real estate marketing with cutting-edge Internet technologies to achieve outstanding results for their clients.

As a full-time Madison WI Realtor since April 2004, Jolenta has purchased and listed an unusually wide variety of real estate including residential single-family homes, condominiums, income properties, investment property, luxury homes, lakefront property, new construction, commercial buildings and more.

Jolenta is experienced with both first-time and seasoned home buyers, investors, buyer agency, exclusive seller agency, 1031 exchanges, land contracts, options to purchase, and purchases involving FHA, VA and WHEDA loans. Jolenta’s ability to generate results for her clients by looking at each set of circumstances with energy and a fresh perspective is one of the ways she adds value to the process. She also understands the profound impact technology has had on the industry and the changes to the marketing paradigm that have taken place as a result. Her commitment to investing in the best technology to benefit her clients is another way Jolenta is helping shape the industry.
