" 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. "

" Jenny is fantastic! She walked us through every step of the terrifiying process of being a first time buyer. She was always there to answer every call, text and email. Highly recommended!! "

- Kelly Smith

" 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. "

- Maggie Z.

" Kim is a one-of-a-kind realtor. When illness required my wife and I to move her sister from Algonquin, IL to St. Paul, MN the task seemed overwhelming. It's 400 miles from place to place and we thought we'd be on the road back and forth taking care of all sorts of mind numbing details. But Kim took charge from day one. She figured out what needed to be done and got the house in selling condition ASAP -- no small task since it needed roofing, painting, cleaning, and more. She kept us informed of the process throughout and made the whole ordeal simple (for us). She got us a full price offer and shepherded it all through closing without a hitch. She's 100 percent real and the only regret we have is that she works 400 miles away... We're getting to the point where we'll be selling and I sure which she could be OUR realtor in St. Paul. Kim, You are amazing. You handled all the details and the big stuff. We are very grateful. "

- G.Stimmler

" 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

" Kim was amazing through our experience buying our first home! She scheduled home showings that worked with our schedules; she even drew up the offer for our home late on a Sunday night so we could move fast and get our offer accepted. She was very knowledgeable about the area and helped us make the right decision. She was always approachable, responsive and extremely helpful as we navigated through the home buying process. Thank you Kim for everything! "

- A.Kralik

" Sheri was fantastic through the whole process. We were looking to move in from out of state and only had limited time to look at places. She was more than accomodating in showing us all the properties we were interested in. She was also very proactive in helping us get some issues with the lease patched up before I even had a chance to respond. Would highly recommend her to others and would want to work with her again in the future. "

- Christopher Heading

" 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 "

- Sandra Bitter

" I initially met with Kim to sell my previous house. After I was approached about renting it instead, Kim didn't miss a beat in helping me search for my next dream home. She was adaptable and was able to quickly navigate home buying during Covid-19 quarantine. She encouraged me not to settle and once we found the perfect home, she moved quickly to ensure that I beat other potential offers. This was the third house I've bought and Kim was by far the best realtor I have worked with. "

- Johanna T.

" We are very happy with Hilda and her team, she will be number 1 on our list if we decide to buy or sell in the future. Everything went smooth and we were very happy with the way things were handled in the final closing. A Great Big Thank you to Hilda Jones and her Team. "

" No other way they describe our experience other than AMAZING!! Rita worked around our schedules and provided the most top of the line services. She sold our house in 4 days!! "

- Sarah mccain

" 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. "

" 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. "

- Brian Raff

" I have worked with Jenny Jones twice now to buy/sell my homes. She has been excellent. I would never use anyone else. She is compassionate and understanding and never pushy.

She really does go above and beyond and makes sure her clients are happy and making smart decisions. Her knowledge and expertise made my moves smooth and painless. I cannot rave enough about her. Definitely choose Jenny to be your next realtor. You will not be disappointed. "

" 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. "

One year later I'm very happy with my purchase and have recommended her team to others. "

" Great transaction! Kim handled everything from start to finish. Very easy process and quick sell "

- Debra Blaha

" I found Kim through an internet search and she was quick to respond to my initial inquiry. She was excellent to work with! We had 2 days to find a home and she helped us narrow down the search to fit our requirements. Kim made this search as stress-free as possible. I highly recommend Kim Kern! "

- Sarah Miles

" It was enjoyable having Rita as our realtor both for buying our new house and selling our old house. She is very knowledgeable about the the process and was very responsive to our questions throughout the time she worked with us. Even when we were getting stressed about some of the complications that invariably arise in such transactions she was calming and kept us on track. We would definitely work with her again and would highly recommend her. "

" Sheri recently helped me buy a home in Algonquin, IL. This was my second time buying a home, yet Sheri’s expertise and advice were invaluable. She was really patient and helpful and managed to keep the communication between us clear and precise all the time. We never felt that we were being rushed to make a decision. I wish Sheri best of luck and continued success. I'd have no second thoughts in recommending her. "

- Rochelle Doty

" Hilda Jones was very patient and courteous. She never tried to pressure into purchasing one house over another. I would definitely recommend Hilda to anyone else we know who is looking to buy or sell. "

- CARYL & JIM MARTINEZ

" Rita was nothing less than top notch from beginning to end. She helped us with the sale of our home recently and the recommendations she made were perfect. We were able to sell and successfully close in record time. She is straight-forward and to the point. Even after the closing, she was also thorough in the follow-up. We had a very complicated same-day/double-close/out of state move involved, but she helped us sail through it without any problem. Highly recommended. Reach out to her today, you won't be disappointed! "

- Jay Irwin

" Worked with Hilda and her team for both the sale of my previous home and the purchase of new home. Hilda walked us through what is normally a stressful process with patience and expertise. Sold our house in a week in what was the smoothest process ever. Hilda walked and hand held me through the very tough sellers market and was able to find my current home in record time. I would definitely recommend Hilda and her team for personalized service you don't easily find these days. "

- Gina P.

" 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. "

" We loved their brochures & videos they took of our home. Their advertising was great. They were very professional in all ways. They always responded to our opinions, questions, and requests in a timely manner. "

- Debbie Behm

" 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. "

- R. LaPine

" I was referred to Kim Kern by a friend and she did not disappoint! She was personable and very accommodating. She guided me through every step of selling my house with her extensive knowledge as a realtor! She was amazing and I would highly recommend Kim! Home sold in Addison, IL "

- Theresa McMahan

" Kim Kern was my realtor of choice, as I was moving out of state and knew I could rely on her skill and expertise to get my home sold. Bottom line, thanks to her efforts, my home SOLD (in a weak market) and I was able to move on in a timely manner. Whether you're looking to buy a home or place your current home on the market, it's an easy decision...contact Kim Kern "

- Fred Meier

" 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.

" I was so impressed with Ms. Jenny Jones. The townhouse was posted in the listing and after a day or two there was an offer. There were 5 offers total. She's a good listener and great communicator. She responded to our e mails, text messages and phone in a very professional manner. She gave us all the information that we need on what the next step in selling our townhouse. I will recommend her. She's the best realtor. Million Thanks Ms. Jenny Jones. "

- Raymond Saladar & Frederick Paulke

" 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 "

" 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! Jenny was very knowledgeable in all aspects of the market, appraisal tips, and listing of our family home. Was very refreshing to leave it in her hands. Had an offer in a couple of days!! Cannot thank Hilda and her team ENOUGH for selling our home!! "
