Introducing Jilayna Arcoren

Born and raised in Minneapolis, Jilayna has a deep connection to the Twin Cities metro. After graduating High School, Jilayna relocated to Michigan and attended New Horizons Institute, where she completed certifications in quality assurance implementation, quality management and financial auditing, all with a focus on improving client service. After spending 6 years in Michigan, Jilayna returned to her roots so she could be closer to family. 

Before working in real estate, Jilayna served her communities through 15 years of customer service and sales in a few organizations. With her knowledge and certifications, she has worked in project management as a quality assurance coordinator for an international information management company, where her main goal was to improve client experience, team productivity, response times to service requests, and much more. Jilayna also worked with Implementation teams to convert five branches across multiple states to new software systems. Following that, she was lead client trainer, inside product sales agent, and finally the lead purchaser and coordinated logistics for a large trucking company. Amid working, Jilayna also worked with the State of Minnesota as a child welfare advocate, became a licensed foster care provider, and adopted four children through the Minnesota foster care system. After these experiences, Jilayna took what she learned and pursued her passion of real estate in 2016 and hasn’t looked back.  

Now residing in Waconia, Jilayna shares her home with her husband, Davis; their three daughters, Elliana, Kailia, and Dakotah; three sons, Tristan, Dominic, and Antonio; four Siamese cats, and two schnoodle dogs. One of Jilayna's most treasured hobbies is Gardening. She cultivates a large variety of flowers and herbs and hopes to have a flower farm one day. When she’s not outside gardening, you can usually find her fishing, around a campfire, or in the kitchen creating new soup or dessert recipes for her friends and family. 

As a real estate agent, Jilayna holds herself to a high level of professionalism. She has a deep passion for finding her clients the right home, providing a 5-star client experience and considers it a privilege to be part of a person's home ownership journey. Jilayna prides herself on being a good listener, a strong communicator, friendly, trustworthy, and fun. One of her biggest goals is to serve in a public capacity advocating for Affordable housing, as well as children’s mental health and education.
