Our Story

Founded in 2010, Vision Real Estate II was created to bring clarity and confidence to the home-buying process. As a team of dedicated real estate professionals, we noticed many clients were going through the motions of buying a home without truly understanding each step. At Vision Real Estate 2, our mission is to provide clarity, guidance, and confidence at every step of the home-buying journey. We believe that buying a house should be an informed, empowering experience, not a series of unanswered questions.

“Where vision lives, dreams can come true”

Adrena Bacon

Managing Broker

As Managing Broker of Vision Real Estate, I bring over 25 years of real estate experience in Illinois, combining brokerage leadership with deep valuation and renovation expertise. For more than 15 years, I worked as a real estate appraiser, valuing single-family and multi-unit properties statewide for both arm’s-length transactions and bank-owned/foreclosure properties—giving me an exceptional understanding of market value, property condition, and pricing strategy.

In addition to brokerage and appraisal, I’ve served as a general contractor overseeing complete gut rehabs and managing projects from renovation through resale. This unique mix of experience helps my clients make confident, well-informed decisions whether they’re buying, selling, investing, or improving a property.

Beyond real estate, I’m deeply grounded in family. I’m the proud parent of two children, Sean and Simone, and a grateful parent-in-law to my loving son-in-law, Zachary. When I’m not working with clients or mentoring agents, you’ll often find me spending time with family or being kept on my toes by our two beloved maltipoos, Simba and Nala. Family, integrity, and stewardship are at the core of everything I do, and those values guide the way I serve my clients and my community.
