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. I live on the East Coast and returned to the Chicago area numerous times to prepare both properties for sale. Carol sold both properties within a few days of their being listed. What really distinguishes Carol from any realtor I have ever worked with is her work ethic and willingness to do anything to assist preparing your property for sale. She assisted with cleaning out the properties, ran errands, whatever was necessary to help prepare the properties for sale. She did all that with persistence and compassion. My sister and I are most grateful for Carol’s support, skill, and friendship. Mark Mosby

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 ! Patricia L Peterson

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!!!! Rose Plazyk

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! Vince Ridolfo

Carol is truly one of the most compassionate and knowledgeable real estate professionals out there. She understands the challenges of selling a loved one’s home and goes above and beyond to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible. Her expertise in probate real estate is unmatched, and she handles everything with care and attention to detail. If you need someone who genuinely cares and will guide you every step of the way Carol is the agent to call. Catherine LeFevre

Working with Carol was an absolute pleasure! She is incredibly professional, knowledgeable and always had my best interests at heart. She kept me informed every step of the way and handled every detail with precision. Whether you're selling, buying, or handling a probate property, Carol is the real estate expert you want on your side. Highly recommend! Pierce Barker

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. Jessica Bauer

Carol made it all possible and THANK YOU. Betty Lindblade

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 represent us!!! Glenn Hansen

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. As our real estate agent she was all of that and more. Her understanding of what we were looking for was right on, and she judiciously followed the market and notified us immediately when she found the perfect house which allowed us to put in an offer that was put together to allow for the competitive market. We got the house! Throughout the home-buying process she was right there to guide us through.. She also had all kinds of people to recommend to help us in any way through the process. She is 5 stars, or a 10+ ~ whatever scale you use she is a top notch realtor. THANK YOU Carol! Carolyn Stark Hansen

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 every quote by me and never once did I feel like I was taken advantaged of and she made sure if I could save in areas I would. Carol would let me know what steps we need to go through and what to expect which allowed me to never feel taken off guard through this process. If I ever find myself in a situation like this again I will be calling her and her team. Corrie Wimmer

I highly recommend Carol Juntunen as your Realtor to facilitate the sale of your home and in the search for your new home. Her knowledge of the current market situation and strategies are apparent because of her successful track record. Her staging of your home, with expertly taken photos, make your home for sale very marketable and attracts many buyers. She is very professional and answers questions almost immediately via phone call, text, or email. You will feel as if you are her only client with her personal attention. She is a Probate Real Estate expert. She is a driving force in servicing her clients. Carol is the best! Lorry Davies

From our first meeting, we were more than confident in Carol Juntunen's ability to guide us through the house selling process. Carol is straightforward, honest, extremely hard working and exceptionally easy to get along with! Other agents say they'll go above and beyond, but Carol is the only one in a long line of many who actually does. Our sale turned out to be quite complicated, as we moved overseas during the process. Then COVID came along, everything shut down, and we were in danger of losing our buyer. Carol kept us sane. She always had creative solutions to unique problems. It was because of her perseverance that the sale was a success. Not only that, she made sure the house was looked after while it was empty. Don't get us wrong, that doesn't mean just drive by. No, Carol was checking downspouts and water flow in rain storms, making sure the yard was properly looked after, keeping the house cool and dry in awful humidity. You name it - she did it! I can't think of anyone else I would recommend as an agent. If you don't choose Carol, you are truly missing out! Denise and James Coyle Denise Coyle

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. Gordon and Noreen Schulz

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! diana

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

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. K

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! Kathryn Difilippo Administrator For Estate Of A.difilippo

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 that my brother's condo was valued higher than I anticipated. She also introduced me to a program where the estate received a credit from her commission because my brother was a vet. I had never heard of this program in the 30 years that I have been working on residential closings. Carol even purchased a curtain for one of the doors in the condo since my brother didn't have a window treatment on the side door. The condo was empty and she staged the kitchen and bathrooms so it didn't look so stark. She worked above and beyond what I expected. I would recommend Carol Juntunen to anyone looking for a realtor. If I ever sell my house in McHenry County, I will contact Carol Juntunen. She is the one I will recommend to anyone who asks for my opinion. Mary Wood, Administrator/estate Of James Sheridan

Carol is a pleasure to work with. Her knowledge and expertise make selling a house very smooth and easy. She's reliable, experienced and very professional! MLA 7

I am thankful to you, Carol, to have had you as my real estate agent. I could not have gotten through this without your help. THANK YOU!!!!! Karen Crow

Carol skillfully helped a bereaved client navigate a challenging estate sale with sensitivity . Her comprehensive knowledge of the market and untiring promotion through computer marketing and agent follow up were stellar. Carol is an aggressive negotiator. Carol clearly detailed every asset and detraction of the property and negotiated on a platform of buyers awareness. I was very very satisfied and thankful that Carol was my agent. Suzanne Walsh Executor For Estate Of Jo

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

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. James Coyle

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 knowledgeable, but not only that, she was kind. She wanted to help me through this process and that meant more than a quick sale to a cash buyer. Working with her was the best decision I could have made. I am very grateful that I got to work with her. Thank you!!! Jennifer K

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 phone calls, text messages and emails. Carol went way beyond her duties as a realtor. She helped me with utility companies by providing their contact information. She also found someone to plow the driveway and sidewalk. She offered to drive the cable box to the cable company. She followed up with me after every showing. She even kept my hard to deal with probate attorney informed which was a blessing. Carol made a heartbreaking situation more than tolerable. The probate attorney wanted Carol to reduce the sell price for a fast sale. Carol declined saying that the house was worth the asking price. I am so grateful that Carol stuck to her guns, as it would have been a disaster for the estate had we reduced the price. Also, Carol suggested using Kristen White who is an attorney for the title instead of the probate attorney. That suggestion saved the estate a lot of money. Kristen was able to help and get results that my probate attorney was not successful in doing. I am so fortunate that I had Carol to work with. On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the best, Carol gets 100... Linda Joens

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 highly recommend Carol. Kymberley Ek

Honestly I cannot say enough positive about Carol. She truly goes above and beyond as an agent. I was selling an out of state property and she handled everything that came up from filing the will in probate, ensuring storm damage was taken care of, recommending excellent service providers from the attorney to the gentleman who power washed the home. I interviewed a few agents, go with Carol! You won’t forget it! Laura Sutherland, Trustee

Carol is simply wonderful to work with. As a real estate attorney, I have worked with a lot agents over my career. In addition to being hardworking and knowledgeable about all sorts of real estate concerns, she is a problem solver. I have been impressed time and time again how she seeks solutions for her clients no matter the hurdle. We recently had a file together with an international client who was facing some obstacles due to a COVID-19 shutdown in her country. Carol wasted no time in contacting the US Embassy, international law firms, the U.S. State Department etc. until she found a resolution for our client. It took some time, but this deal would have died if it was not for Carol's ingenuity and persistence. Kristen W

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 the way. Her knowledge of the the market, her large network of contacts in the various trades and services that we ultimately needed to work with, and her tireless personal effort to jump in and help, made my job a heck of a lot easier. Could not be more pleased. Eric B. Viohl, Executor

Carol was excellent and I feel that she did much more than she was required to do. Terrence Jacobson

Carol did an outstanding job! I was sold when I received her introductory letter in my mailbox. After interviewing several realtors, she far exceeded the competition. She was very prepared, knowledgeable, & professional. We had a very unique house and property that was vacant and would take that special person to appreciate the value. From the beginning, Carol new exactly what we needed to do to get the house on the market. She helped resolve county property description issues, provide contacts for junk removal, house cleanup, etc. to get the best price for the property. She made many trips to the house to handle appointments when I was out of town. She is very hands on and responsive to our needs. We enjoyed working with her and would highly recommend! Jacqueline Wodach, Executor

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. George Schwartz, Administrator

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 been more accurate. Carol is a dedicated, compassionate, knowledgeable professional. As a client residing out of state, she was my hands on representative from start to closing. Will never be able to thank her enough. Dale Hull, Administrator

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 professional, caring, supportive, and knowledgeable realtor in Carol . She has my business for life!! If 10 stars were available she'd get that rating from me!! Michael P. Isitoro

Carol was prompt getting back to me and haelped my brother and I tremendously...highly recommend ! Scott Isitoro

Carol made a great first impression and continued with professional skills. Charles Waite, Executor

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. Annette Hilton

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! Jean A. Laube

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. Steve H.

Carol was very helpful in finding us a perfect place! She was able to show us some great options and was easy to work with. Highly recommend her service. Matt & Kara Z.
