Holly Blanchette

Since 1989, Holly Blanchette has been a cornerstone of the Lake County real estate community, combining her deep-rooted local knowledge with a specialized focus on waterfront properties. Originally from the Chicago suburbs, Holly moved to the Chain O’Lakes area over three decades ago and has resided on the shores of Duck Lake since 1995. This personal immersion in the lake lifestyle allows her to offer clients an authentic perspective that goes beyond standard market data; she doesn't just sell the homes, she lives the lifestyle every day, enjoying the unique beauty of all four seasons on the water.

Before transitioning into real estate, Holly honed her communication and organizational skills as an educator, teaching 7th and 8th-grade English and 5th and 6th-grade French. This background in teaching remains central to her professional approach today. Holly views herself as a guide and an educator for her clients, taking pride in introducing "lake-minded" people to the diverse variety of bodies of water in Lake and Eastern McHenry County. Her goal is to ensure every buyer finds the specific lake personality that perfectly aligns with their recreational needs and long-term dreams.

Holly’s dedication to her niche has earned her significant professional acclaim, including the Big Wave and Aqua awards every year since joining Lake Homes Realty in 2019. Having specialized in waterfront real estate since 1998, she possesses a sophisticated understanding of the complexities involved in lakefront transactions. Holly’s goal is to ensure every buyer finds the specific lake that aligns with their recreational needs.
