Wilfredo Galarza Jr.

Wilfredo (WiL) Galarza Jr. is a proud Chicago native who grew up in McKinley Park. He earned his bachelor’s degree in International Studies from Colorado State University and went on to complete a master’s degree in Education – Student Affairs at Iowa State University.

Today, WiL works as a Realtor at Duarte Realty Company, where he is committed to educating and empowering his clients on the journey to homeownership. Over the past three years, he has helped more than 50 families achieve their real estate goals.

Outside of real estate, WiL enjoys staying active, whether that’s hitting the gym, boxing, biking, or traveling. He also values quality time with his close family and friends. Recently, he welcomed a new addition to his home: a betta fish named Bam Bam. While he’s still in denial about how attached he’s become, Bam Bam has quickly become an unexpected source of joy.

Family is the cornerstone of WiL’s life. His mother, Duvina, his grandmother, Norma, and his younger sibling, River, are his greatest inspirations. From his mother’s battle with breast cancer to his grandmother’s health challenges and his sibling’s three years of sobriety, WiL has witnessed the resilience of the human spirit. These experiences have shaped his perspective and taught him to treasure every moment with those he loves.

Whether it's serving his clients, spending time with family, or taking care of Bam Bam, relationships are at the heart of everything WiL does.
