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...
Was Great
I could not have been happier with our agent Carol. From our first correspondence to the finishing of the sale I had total confidence in her. Everything went very smooth and she guided us through the whole process. Thank you !
I thought this sale would be a big problem because of the distance between us but Carol kept me informed thru out the weeks. She is a great Sales person, explaining, to me, all that this 94 lady did not understand. Thank you Carol........Thank you!!!!
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.

Carol was absolutely incredible! From the first conversation it was clear she was not only professional and knowledgeable; but also very caring. This was such a gift during a very difficult circumstance. Her hard work and connections led to a quick and smooth sale well above asking price! I highly recommend her.
Carol made it all possible and THANK YOU.
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!

I just ADORE Carol! I didn't know how probate worked and didn't know that so many people would contact me.

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.
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!
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.
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!
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...

Carol did an extraordinary job on our behalf and we are very grateful for all the support she provided during the process of selling our home. We would highly recommend Baird and Warner.
When my father passed, I didn’t know what to do with his house. After we filed for probate, we received a ton of mail and phone calls in regards to cash buyers and people interested in selling it. Among those letters was a letter from Carol at Baird & Warner. So I emailed her and we met. I had such a good feeling about her. She knew what she was talking about. She was very knowledgeabl...

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. I received letters from other realtors, but they didn’t offer everything I needed. I am so happy I went with Carol. She always responded to my p...
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. We appreciated her professionalism and kindness. She arranged a wonderful photographer and created a brochure of our home that we could be proud of. There are hundreds of realtors out there, but I ...

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

Carol has been a pleasure to work with despite some estate hiccups that were out of our control. Her level of experience is difficult to top. I sincerely thank her for all of her professional efforts. She is definitely a "go-to" person.
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...
Carol went above and beyond the role of a realtor in helping my brother and I dispose of my mom's estate. She was truly a "1 stop shopping agent' from the initial listing, getting the home ready to sell, continued support while doing showings, negotiating the sale, and the final closing. She was there every step of the way from start to finish. We were so lucky to find such a professiona...

Carol made a great first impression and continued with professional skills.
Carol was not only efficient but showed a good deal of empathy. She was patient and helpful as I was navigating through this sale as a first-time seller.
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!
Carol helped me and my daughter find an apartment. I was very happy to have her as our agent. She had infinite patience and made the experience enjoyable.
