“Carol just helped us sell the house she sold us in 1986 in Kenilworth. In this market, it took every bit of her expertise, diligence, and persistence to close on a very complicated sale. If you look up Real Estate Pro in the dictionary, you’ll see Carol’s picture. She’s really that good.”

--Laura Ellis, General Sales Manager, Baird & Warner
"We will enjoy our new home for years to come thanks to your efforts! We were very impressed with your suggestion to sell our garage separately from our condo. Due to your creative thinking and negotiating skills we were able to move on with our lives when you put together two separate transactions -- a buyer for the condo and a buyer for the garage. Your patience in finding the perfect house for us, handling the myriad of paperwork and completing three smooth transactions was remarkable."
--Peter & Rachel Lehner
"Carol Hunt is a remarkable agent who provided us outstanding service when we sold our Winnetka home of 18 years. Carol’s seasoned, professional advice incorporated simple decorating and staging changes, marketing that created demand and financial acumen. In the most difficult market conditions imaginable our house sold in 9 days for 95% of asking price. We would recommend Carol to anyone selling on the North Shore."
--Eileen Paull
"As a potential relocating family, Carol Hunt spent two days familiarizing us with schools, villages and life in general on Chicago’s North Shore. Carol‘s depth of knowledge, temperament and individual attention made us feel at ease. Our family left knowing we could make more specific decisions. It was a great experience and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Carol."
