About Kim & Joel
Meet Joel Reyenga
Joel Reyenga brings more than 40 years of experience in real estate, construction, and golf community sales to the Lake Geneva market. He served as Director of Real Estate Sales at Geneva National Golf Course Community and has guided families through hundreds of lakefront and recreational property transactions, giving buyers the kind of perspective that only comes from decades of hands-on work in this exact market.
Joel started in construction, which matters more than it sounds. He didn’t just learn to sell properties. He learned to read them. A foundation issue isn’t abstract when you’ve poured concrete. A renovation estimate isn’t just a number when you’ve managed crews.
That background led him somewhere unusual: Director of Real Estate Sales at Geneva National Golf Course Community. Then to Timilick Tahoe in Truckee, California. Then to The Cliffs Communities on Lake Keowee in South Carolina.
Each stop was a different version of the same thing: helping families make significant decisions about recreational properties and the communities built around them.
He’s sold hundreds of golf course and lakefront properties. What he’s actually done is help families figure out what they want from a second home and then find the property that delivers it. Those are different skills, and not every agent has both.
Chicago buyers tend to come with real questions. Pier rights. Association rules. Wisconsin property taxes. What a golf community’s HOA actually covers and what it doesn’t. Joel has answered all of them, more times than he can count, and he doesn’t mind the repetition. Because it’s not repetitive to the family sitting across from him.

Meet Kim Reyenga
Kim Reyenga brings more than 30 years of experience in property management, home valuation, and vacation property sales to the Lake Geneva market. Her background in retail, hospitality, and renovation gives her a distinctive perspective: buying a summer home is the creation of a gathering place where families build their most important memories. That understanding shapes everything about how she works with clients.
Her career has been a mix of things that, in hindsight, all pointed here. Managing an apartment building in Lake Geneva in her mid-twenties while running retail stores downtown. Hospitality work at Geneva National. Renovation companies. And then in 2012, real estate. She joined Keefe Real Estate alongside Joel and moved to eXp Realty in 2019.
Three decades of working with properties means she knows what they need across seasons, which local vendors actually show up, and what to look for when you’re evaluating a place from two states away. That last part matters more than people expect. When a family walks through a property and says ‘this could be the one,’ Kim’s already done the math on what it will take to make it that. Not a skill that comes from a real estate exam.
