Testimonials

Mark Mosby

Carol is the consummate professional, always puts her clients first, and I highly recommend her services. As the executor of my mother’s estate, I originally contacted Carol to sell two properties, one in Chicago and one in the suburbs. I chose Carol after receiving a detailed and thoughtful letter from her explaining her background and experience with the sale of properties in probate...

Vince Ridolfo

This was my first time working with Carol. From start to finish, she was very professional and great to work with! She was very transparent throughout the entire deal. She had a very difficult client, but we both worked very hard to get across the finish line. I deal with a lot of agents and Carol by far is one of the greats!

Carol was absolutely incredible! From the first conversation it was clear she was not only professional and knowledgeable; but also very caring.

Betty Lindblade

Carol made it all possible and THANK YOU.

Glenn Hansen

Carol is fantastic. She’s thorough and very pro-active. Carol advises but does not direct, she let us make our decisions and determine our offers. She handles our questions and concerns with care and grace. We were successful in buying our dream house, which she found for us, and not over bidding! We will be selling a family home in the spring and I will not consider anyone else to rep...

I have known Carol for over 50 years, and she has always been outgoing, friendly and understanding. Professionally she is a global thinker and detail oriented.

Corrie Wimmer

I just ADORE Carol! I didn't know how probate worked and didn't know that so many people would contact me. A ton of people do not have your best interest in place when you are in Probate and she was an angel sent to me! Carol has a team that she works with that helped me clean out the house, fix anything that needed to be done, home cleaners, professional photographers; ect. Carol ran ev...

Gordon and Noreen Schulz

Hired Carol after receiving her informative packet in the mail. She got the house we were selling cleared out and sold in five weeks. Any questions we had were immediately answered and she was always available by phone or in person.

diana

Carol helped me sell my brother's house after he died unexpectedly. First we had to empty the house where he had lived for over 30 years. It was a difficult time for me and Carol was always ready to help in every way she could. We were able to sell his house in less than two months from listing to closing and at the price I wanted. She is smart and nice! Thank you, Carol!

Allison Yearian

Carol went above and beyond for us and made the whole process much easier!"

Working with Carol was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The probate process can be very stressful and she took the stress of selling the house away. She walks you through the process step by step and is so helpful to answer any question or concern. It was a joy to work with her.

Kathryn Difilippo Administrator For Estate Of A.difilippo

Carol went above and beyond. She was exceptional and went beyond all my expectations. This was the easiest part of my probate experience. Can’t say enough great things about her!

Mary Wood, Administrator/estate Of James Sheridan

I work with realtors on a daily basis as I am a legal assistant whose attorney does both residential closings and real estate litigation. Since I was responsible for selling my brother's condo after his death and it was in a different county that I work in, I contacted Carol Juntunen after researching realtors in Kane County. Carol was very knowledgeable about the market and advised me t...

I live in Oregon, and I needed to sell a house in Woodstock, IL. I was not sure how I was going to manage. I received a letter from Carol explaining her experience and service which also included contact information for an estate sale company.

Carol was excellent. She came to our first meeting well prepared with information that helped set our selling price. She was always available to answer our questions yet we never felt hounded.

There are hundreds of realtors out there, but I ...

Laura Sutherland, Trustee

Honestly I cannot say enough positive about Carol. She truly goes above and beyond as an agent.

I interviewed a few agents, go with Ca...

Eric B. Viohl, Executor

I have bought and sold a number of homes over the years, and I can honestly say that Baird & Warner's Carol Juntunen was the best realtor I have worked with. As Executor of my brother's estate, it fell on me to get his home fixed up and sold. Frankly, there were lots of issues with the property. From the very beginning, Carol was hugely instrumental in assisting my efforts, every step of...

Following the passing of my Mother, Carol was contacted to handle the sale of property. Carol did so much more. She helped with the liquidation of the entire estate. She offered suggestions on how to ready the property to sell quicker and then had a list of vetted contractors to perform each of the specialized tasked to achieve the set goals. The time table she presented could not have b...

Michael P. Isitoro

Carol went above and beyond the role of a realtor in helping my brother and I dispose of my mom's estate.

She was there every step of the way from start to finish. We were so lucky to find such a professiona...

Carol was wonderful to work with! The home we wanted wasn't working out, right before Christmas she called us right away, and the owners were negotiating the price, We are now moved in! What a Christmas gift that was! I would highly recommend Carol, I do not plan on moving again... lol, but would definitely refer her to anyone I know that is moving!
