I was born in Chicago but grew up in El Paso, Texas, before moving back to the Chicagoland area at the age of 15. After completing community college and studying marketing for a year, I began my career in sales—working in both banking and wireless communications. These early experiences taught me the importance of service, strategy, and building lasting relationships. In 2013, at the age of 25, I earned my real estate license and have been committed to the industry ever since. With over a decade of experience, I’ve worked with buyers, sellers, investors, and landlords. I’ve also been hands-on in the rehab space, giving me a deeper understanding of value-add opportunities and construction logistics. Today, I’m proud to be the co-owner of You Properties, a growing real estate office in Chicago dedicated to delivering results and raising the standard of service in the industry. Whether you’re buying your first home, expanding your investment portfolio, or selling a property for top dollar, my team and I are here to guide you every step of the way.

Hello! I’m Abraham- co-founder and one of the visionary leaders here at You
Properties and I’d like to invite you to have a conversation about YOUR real
estate goals and also about any items or life events that could be affecting the
properties you currently have. I am exceptionally well qualified to assist YOU as I
have previously created, built, and sold a $125M+ sales volume real estate office
with countless transactions of experience in both residential and commercial
properties through innovative and unconventional ways of deal making. I have
also personally mentored and coached a combination of hundreds of sales
people, agents, and business owners to help them elevate their careers,
businesses, and relationships.

My exceptional results come from tons of management experience in the
corporate world and my own entrepreneurial undertakings.

I thrive when I’m negotiating complex contracts and leading large teams and my
focus is always on delivering outstanding financial outcomes while solving
problems for my clients, family, and friends with my special skillsets. Whether it’s
buying a home or making an investment its about YOU the client and ensuring
we are leveraging all the necessary data to make the best possible choice for our
situation.

I was born and raised here in Chicago- the BEST city in the world- I have a deep
knowledge of my hometown and I like to share its history in every client
interaction.

I understand that a home or a commercial building/investment is more than just
property—it’s a cornerstone of financial stability for YOU and your family’s legacy.
This understanding guides my approach to the transaction and I never take for
granted the trust YOU place in me. A lifelong learner, I’m continuously adding to
my arsenal of innovative and unconventional ways to create opportunities for my
clients.

I believe that in their lives away from work people should enjoy life and help each
other whenever possible and I practice what I preach as an active member of
Lions Club International- a nonprofit dedicated to supporting the blind, deaf, and
underserved communities and when I’m not working or helping people I’ll be bike
riding or enjoying a beer with great food with family or friends!

Hi, I’m Perla Navarrete, a proud first-generation Mexican American, born in Las Cruces, New
Mexico and raised in the vibrant city of Chicago, which I’ve called home since I was four years
old.

Growing up in a family of construction workers, I was surrounded by the world of renovations,
real estate, and transformation—watching homes come to life from the ground up. That early
exposure planted the seed for my passion for real estate and my deep appreciation for the value
of homeownership and investment.

Before stepping into real estate, I spent over 10 years in customer service and management,
where I learned that every individual’s goals, needs, and dreams are truly unique. That
experience taught me the importance of listening with empathy, leading with integrity, and
delivering with excellence—values that now shape the way I serve every client.

Today, I bring a combination of industry knowledge, construction insight, and strong client
relations skills to help my clients buy, sell, lease, invest, or rehab properties with confidence. I
know firsthand that a home is more than just four walls—it’s a foundation for stability, growth,
and belonging.

My mission is to make the real estate process seamless, educational, and empowering,
especially for first-time buyers, families, and anyone looking to invest in their future. Whether
you’re finding your “forever home,” expanding your portfolio, or bringing a vision to life through
rehab, I’m here to guide you every step of the way with care, transparency, and dedication.

Let’s find the space that feels like home—because everyone deserves that feeling.
