MELISSA WALSH

I’m Melissa Walsh, a devoted wife and mother of four, proudly rooted in Oswego, IL. I hold an Associate of Arts degree from the College of Lake County and earned my Broker’s license through Inland Real Estate School. My passion for helping others and my relentless drive for success naturally led me into real estate—an industry where I found my true calling. In my very first year, I was honored to be named Rookie of the Year, and shortly after, I was appointed as the Ambassador for the Cultural Committee on the Agent Leadership Council at my initial brokerage. These early achievements reaffirmed that serving people with integrity, empathy, and excellence was exactly where I belonged.

As the CEO and founder of the Melissa Walsh Group, now a thriving multimillion-dollar team, I am proud to specialize in relocation services, luxury listings, and veteran representation through my certification as a veteran’s agent. Whether guiding families who are moving across town or assisting buyers and sellers seeking high-end properties, my team and I are committed to providing a tailored, concierge-level experience for every client we serve.

My business is deeply rooted in FAMILY FIRST values. One of my greatest joys is working alongside my mother, one of our top-producing brokers. As an immigrant from Mexico, she brings invaluable cultural perspective and helps us connect authentically with niche markets—including Spanish-speaking clients, first-generation buyers, and families navigating the process for the very first time. Together, we bridge communities and open doors for clients who may not have always felt seen in the real estate world.

My mission is simple but deeply personal: to help as many families as possible across Kendall, Kane, DuPage, Lake, Will, and Cook counties build the futures they dream of. Every home purchased or sold represents a new beginning, and I am honored to play a part in those milestones. Guided by the belief that I can help fulfill families’ aspirations while continuing to chase my own, I am committed to growing, learning, and serving at the highest level—one family, one home, and one dream at a time.




GRIZELDA SONNENBERG

Family, legacy, and community are at the heart of everything I do. I am a devoted wife of over 47 years, a proud mother of three strong, independent women, and a blessed grandmother to ten beautiful grandchildren. Originally from Mexico, I came to the United States at the age of 21 with big dreams, a strong work ethic, and a deep desire to build a meaningful future.

I earned my degree in Business Administration from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), which laid the foundation for a successful career in sales spanning more than 30 years. That experience, combined with my commitment to service and excellence, naturally led me into real estate. Joining my daughter in this business was one of the most rewarding decisions of my life, allowing us to work side by side while serving families at every stage of life.

As a bilingual Realtor, I take great pride in guiding clients through one of the most important investments they will ever make. I specialize in delivering a high-touch, personalized experience while helping families build long-term wealth through homeownership. I am especially passionate about serving the Hispanic community, empowering families to dream bigger and achieve opportunities once thought out of reach.

I am honored to work with remarkable families and discerning clients who value trust, integrity, and results. I look forward to continuing to serve my community for many years to come—helping clients not only find exceptional homes, but create lasting legacies.
