" "Kim did a great job during my home buying experience. From accommodating my schedule for the showings, to her quick responses during the price negotiations, and she would take care of all the little details until closing.

" I have bought and subsequently sold 7 homes as my personal residence during my lifetime. My most recent sale was on March 23, 2021, and Hilda Jones was my agent. She represented the epitome of what I could possibly imagine that an agent could do to help me sell my home. Hilda Jones helped in so many ways, this write-up would be so much longer if I listed all she did. If you want someone to truly represent your best interests, choose Hilda Jones. "

- Glenn Dallas

" I would definitely use the Hilda Jones team again if I were selling a house. Hilda and her team were knowledgeable, honest, friendly and very timely when returning my calls. Most importantly, Hilda Jones sold our house quickly and for a fair price. ~ Sold our home on 941 Glen Oak, Sleepy Hollow - Aug. 2015 "

" Our experience with Baird & Warner was positive. We found our agent, Sheri Jonas, to be very personable and respectful to our situation in selling my Father's house, who had recently passed away. She did a lot of market research and we were very happy with the competitive sale price that we agreed to list at. We would strongly recommend Baird & Warner to anyone who is looking to buy or sell. "

- Richard Wendt

" I purchased my condo from Jenny Jones and couldn't be more happy. I was a first time home buyer and wasn't sure of the process or what I wanted and she made me feel comfortable with her and with what I was getting into. One year later I'm very happy with my purchase and have recommended her team to others. "

- Paige Willis

" Kim Kern has been the most outstanding realtor my husband and I have ever had the pleasure of working with. We were new to purchasing a home and she was extremely knowledgeable and patient with us. She was always ready to answer any questions we had and showed us every house we wanted to see. We had a strict budget to work with and she helped us find and close on our first family home!! We were excited and nervous throughout the process and Kim helped us get through it all. We could never have done it without her. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars, so this review will have to do!! If you want to purchase a house or sell your house, call Kim Kern!! I promise you won’t regret it!! "

- Victoria & Brian Rohrbacher

" Hilda has worked with us on the buying an selling of 4 properties and does a fantastic job!

When she said she'd "handle it" for me I was confident that she would and she did! Thank you, Hilda. "

- Kim Sipe

" Kim helped us find our new home and she was great every step of the way. Very patient while we looked for a home, I frequently asked her at the last minute to show us homes and she was very accommodating. After we made an offer she was there for us whenever we needed anything. Kim always followed up on our questions to make sure we got any information we needed. I’ve worked with other realtors before and Kim is someone I would not hesitate to call again! "

- Arianne & Larry

" Hilda is very honest, upfront and no hidden agenda. We liked her professionalism so much since she didn't have any other agenda than helping us to stage our house, fix items and be ready for the visits. Also she was very supportive of our interests and priorities. Glad to work with Hilda and I would love to work with her again. "

- Ben & Sarah

" Kim is everything you want in a realtor: knowledgeable and honest. I am a single mom and Kim helped me and my five-year-old son get our dream home. I didn’t know exactly what I wanted, just what I didn’t want. Kim never made me feel like I was wasting her time while I looked at tons of houses all the way from St. Charles to Crystal Lake. What I appreciate about Kim is that she always presents you with options. Whenever I had an obstacle, Kim would immediately say, “You can do A, B, or C, and here are the pros and cons for each one.” I also asked Kim for a lot of recommendations during the process of buying my home. Every person she connected me with provided high-quality work and never went beyond the cost of their quote. I know this is a reflection of the work Kim has put into building positive relationships with other professionals. Home buying is stressful and time consuming. At one point, I found out that it was urgent I get a quote for some duct work I would need to have fixed before I could move into the foreclosed home I was purchasing. That same day I had a death in my family so I could not address house tasks for about a week. Without me asking, by the end of the day Kim had texted me with a quote for the duct work and asked if I wanted to her to call a few more companies to compare prices. She never mentioned that this went above and beyond her responsibilities as a realtor, but I know it did, and her help and kindness was greatly appreciated. If I were to ever sell my home, I would want Kim to sell it. If I ever bought another home, I would immediately call Kim. She is just darn good at what she does. Kim does not have to play games as a realtor because she is kind, knowledgeable, and takes her job seriously. "

- Ellen Day

" She has a great knowledge of this area and a team that supports the process from start to finish. I would recommend Hilda without hesitation.

- Linda P.

" Kim is a top-rated professional, which is hard to find. We were lucky meeting & working with her. At the time of purchase, we were newbies in terms of the main things to know/watch when buying a house, nothing to say about procedures. Kim helped us a lot with guides, tips, advises & visions; also, she was always in the loop with us up to the closing. What I have found helpful is that Kim has a well build network of professionals (inspectors, lawyers etc.) which saved me a ton of time and money. I would definitely recommend working with Kim without a doubt. "

- Roman & Anzhela

" We chose Hilda as she is known in the area for many years. We had the pleasure of working with Jenny, Hilda's daughter. From the first phone call placed to their office, to our closing, we were treated with professional and friendly service!

" My relationship with Ms. Jones began at her birth. I have watched her grow into an unstoppable force in the field of negotiations! A customer-service fanatic who demands (and receives) perfection in her client relationships. There is no task or job that I would hesitate to give to her. Should you equate size and youth for lack of experience and success, you do so at your own peril. "

- Don Prigge

I moved into my new home a couple days ago and i love it. I'd recommend Kim to any of my friends/family" ~ bought in Huntley Nov. 2016 "

- Kim Kern

" Can't say enough good about Kim and her team. They took over selling our house after six months with another company that didn't do much more than make brochures and put a sign in our yard. After meeting and hiring Kim we knew right away things would change. she took charge and marketed our house with creative ideas. Within a week we had a contract. It really makes a difference which real estate professional you choose and I highly recommend Kim! "

- Tom F.

" Rita sent very good properties to go look at, and very quick to respond to our calls. Did all the investigation of HOA rules and regulations for pets prior to our offer so as not to waste any time.

- Christopher Heading

" First let me state that I am extremely Thankful to have had Jenny as my dedicated Realtor! In a very difficult market, Jenny never wavered in her efforts to sell my home. A little history ... I initially listed with Remax and was very unhappy with the lack of marketing efforts and minimal traffic that came through my home while being listed with them for over 18 months. I switched over to Baird & Warner (Jenny) this past Winter based on the great things that I heard about the Hilda Jones Team, and was beyond thrilled with the quick attention, aggressive marketing efforts and amount of traffic that started to come through my home almost immediately. Jenny has solid knowledge of the housing market and did an excellent job with keeping me in the know as it pertained to home values in the local area. She never hesitated to let me know when it was time for me to seriously consider a price adjustment due to the markets conditions. This was hard for me to consider and accept at times, but I trusted her knowledge and the analytics that she would continually share with me. Thanks to Jenny's hard work and "can do" attitude, she managed to sell my beautiful home in Carpentersville within a matter of months of me listing with her. If you are serious about selling your home, Jenny Becker is your girl! Sincerely, Michelle Zeid "

" My fiance and I happened to stumble upon Kim when beginning our search for our first home. As first-time home-buyers, we did not initially have a super clear idea of what we were looking for. Kim was incredibly informative and patient with us (and I'm sure it wasn't easy at times!). She put in lots of effort to help us understand what we were looking for, and also get a clear idea herself. After looking at countless homes, we viewed one Kim had picked out for us. This was the first home that we both immediately fell in love with, and it was exactly what we were looking for. Thanks to Kim's patience, diligence, and professionalism throughout the closing process, this is now our home! Kim honestly made herself available any time we had a question or wanted to talk something over. She also made us feel comfortable throughout the entire, otherwise intimidating process for first-time home buyers. She never once pushed us towards a home, and made it her mission to help us find the perfect home for us. We would absolutely recommend finding your dream home with Kim whether you are a first-time home buyer or looking for your third home. "

" Rita helped us find our new home last summer. She understood right away what we were looking for and showed us great properties. We fell in love with the 4th or 5th one, it was a great experience. We naturally listed our old house with Rita, who was very helpful and available. The house took a little longer to sell than we expected but thanks to Rita's advice, we made the right listing and upgrade decisions and finally found a buyer. "

" We could not have been more happy with having Jenny as our real estate agent. The things that we were looking for was somebody who would be responsive, knowledgable, and do everything she can to make sure that we got our dream house.My wife was pregnant during the home search. Jenny had a big challenge to help us find the perfect house, and to close quickly, so that we would be moved in before the baby came. She was able to show us a few houses, after hearing what our needs and budget were. She showed us a house that we absolutely fell in love with. She was super knowledgable and responsive throughout the whole process. She helped us come up with a strategy, recommended a lawyer and a loan officer, and helped make sure that any questions/concerns we had were answered immediately.We are so thankful that Jenny was with us through this whole process. What would normally be a stressful time was turned in to a pleasant experience. She understood how important this was to us. Even after closing she took a picture of my wife and I holding a "sold" sign in front of our new home, and sent us a gift for our baby daughter. I highly recommend Jenny to anybody looking for a real estate agent. "

" My family recently worked with Jenny on our move out to the Chicagoland area from Michigan. Coming from a different state it was very difficult to know the best neighborhoods, schools and hotspots but Jenny was full of great knowlege that really helped us narrow down our search.

" Kim was extremely helpful, patient, and understanding. She made sure I got into view every home I wanted to see, she let me view some houses more than once if I wanted to. She was very quick at responding to all calls and text with any questions I had. She was very quick to react when I wanted to put an offer on a home. She also was very patient with me on making decisions and did whatever it took to make sure I was happy with my choice .

" I would definitely recommend Kim Kern for your agent! My experience with Kim was perfect! My situation went from just looking to I really need to buy a home within a month. Kim was always available, she always responded in a timely manner - I never felt ignored or like I was inconveniencing her in any way. Meeting with her was always a pleasure and she always addressed all of my questions-and I always had a lot. Kim was very knowledgeable in every way and I felt like she knew exactly what I was looking for in a home. Thank you Kim for making this uneasy venture easy! ~ Bought home in East Dundee 2016 "

" We met with Kim Kern for the first time on a Monday evening in our home. We had prepared our home, so we believed it was ready to sell. Kim walked through our home with us and made one suggestion, which we immediately updated according to her suggestion. We had no idea what price we should ask for our home, but Kim guided us through that step as well. She first informed the realtors in our area that our home was up for sale while she began the advertising, the picture taking, and the gathering of information to present the home well in our MLS listing. I think we showed our home the very next day, and by the end of the week we had multiple showings and three offers, one of which we accepted which was well over the asking price. Kim was very diligent and presented our home very well. If we happen to buy or sell again in this area of IL, we certainly will seek to utilize Kim's services again. "

" Hilda Jones and Team did a great job in selling my sister's condominium. My husband and I especially liked and were grateful for her assistance in getting necessary work done to prepare it for sale. Being at a distance from the site, it was helpful to have recommendations for carpet and tile installation, painting and other things that were needed before we could sell. the workers kept in touch with us and completed the jobs promptly. Hilda exposed the condo commercially very well so that a buyer was found quickly. She kept us in the loop throughout the process and kept in good touch with us to keep us informed and answer our many questions. Baird and Warner's attorney, Eric Sdrenka was helpful as well, answering legal questions and representing us at the closing. I would highly recommend Hilda and Team for anyone considering sale of property and give them a 5 star rating. "

" As soon as I found out my husband was being transferred to another part of the state, I knew I needed to get a real estate agent and get our house on the market quickly. Jenny Jones came highly recommended by a trusted friend so I called Jenny the very next day and set up an appointment to meet with her. Jenny gathered some information from me during our first conversation and then when we met the next day, she was completely prepared to discuss the sale of our home and had already researched comparable home sales in our area. Having the crucial information Jenny provided allowed my husband and I to price our home competitively and we were ready to sell. Several days later Jenny had a photographer come to our home and she created a wonderful brochure with awesome photographs as well as a list of all of our home's recent upgrades. Once we had an offer on the house things moved quite quickly. Jenny made herself available throughout the entire process from putting our house on the market to the closing of the sale. My husband and I had already moved into our new home in another part of the state before our original home sold and both of us were very grateful that Jenny was so helpful and willing to manage the final details before the closing. I don't have any reservations in recommending Jenny Jones to any home buyer or home seller. Jenny is friendly, outgoing and a great advocate for her clients. Sincerely, Sandy Bitter "

" We loved working with Rita to find our new home in Dundee. We ended up buying a house that we hadn't previously considered thanks to Rita's suggestion, and we are SO HAPPY with our purchase. We are moving in from another state, so she was did a great job working around our travel schedule. We provided her with a list of homes that we wanted to see on Zillow and she quickly scheduled all of the walkthroughs. Additionally, she was very intuitive and found additional properties that she thought we'd like. Rita was very responsive to our emails and answered any questions that we had immediately. She worked with the seller's agent to gather information and keep the process moving quickly and smoothly. Thanks to her efforts we got a great deal and were able to close on time. "
