Fantastic experience: Jill was patient, accommodating, and help handle the sale of my parents house very well. She helped us navigate some complexities and she was excellent to work with. I'm glad she was our agent!
Positive experience: Jill was always easy to reach by text, phone call, or email. She answered all of my questions and calmed my nerves when things seemed overwhelming (they weren't, I just had a few minor panic attacks). I'm very happy with the result of my condo hunt (which took over a year~~I'm picky and was NOT going to "settle" for something just because) and the sale of my house (which was VERY fast!!). I'm glad Jill was there for me through the whole process. I don't plan to ever move again, but if I do I have her contact information!! Thank you, Jill!
Fantastic experience: Jill was an absolute pleasure to work with! Every step of the process was made easy, and put into terms that we could easily understand. Totally professional, smart, and a fun friendly person. Would use Jill in a heartbeat again and would recommend her to anyone I know looking to buy in the area. Jill helped us secure the dream home for our family and it doesn't get any better than that! Jill goes above and beyond in every way imaginable.
Fantastic experience: Jill Coenen from C21 was the buyer's agent for a home I recently inspected, and I saw her go above and beyond to help our client through the negotiation process with the seller. She did not pressure the client into buying the home and eventually helped her withdraw from the offer due to the home's issues. I've seen other realtors pressure their clients into closing the deal, but not Jill. It was very evident that she wanted the best for her client. I would recommend her expertise without hesitation.

Fantastic experience: Jill assisted my son in the purchase of his first home buy and gave high recommendations when I started my interstate search for a new home. She listened to the specific needs I had and was so very responsive to them thru out the entire process! Jill's wide range of knowledge and expertise made all aspects of buying a home much less stressful. She was easily accessible and quick to address and help me navigate through the more difficult pieces of the process! I would definately recommend Jill to anyone looking to buy or sell their home!!
Fantastic experience: We were so lucky to work with Jill for our relocation. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and was always available if we needed anything. She was the best agent we've worked with so far, and will 100% use her again if needed.
Fantastic experience: Jill was extremely professional and friendly. The moment we met Jill we knew she was the person for us and that never changed From start to finish and beyond Jill helped us in every way possible
Fantastic experience: Jill it's one of the most knowledgeable and honest realtors I've ever met. She guided us thru every house, every possible issue, outcome and questions we had. Our situation was complex but she was able to figure it out. In my opinion one of the best realtors In northern Wisconsin. Without her knowledge of the real estate market we wouldn't have sold our house and buy one in such a slow time during year, but she was able to make it happen! Would not doubt to recommend her to family and friends and 100% I would do business with her again. Thank you for your service and friendship!
Fantastic experience: Jill was amazing to work with. She understood our needs and made sure what we needed was taken care of. Jill goes above and beyond to make sure the selling process is as smooth as possible. She puts for the extra effort and it shows. I can't speak highly enough about her!
Fantastic experience: Jill is an amazing realtor and even a better person!! I was a first time home buyer with who was eager to learn more and in need of guidance. Jill was more than willing and experienced to give me the knowledge and support I needed. I looked at close to ten homes before even putting in an offer. Jill never pressured me once, she laid the facts out and gave her advice when needed or when I asked for it. She is so organized and communicates all day (seriously 14 hours a day, any day). Jill lives and breathes real estate and should be anyones pick whether selling or buying a home. Thank you Jill!
THANK YOU!!!
I truly enjoyed working with you and am so happy you found the perfect home in the perfect location! Please know I appreciate your kinds words and am here if you ever need me! Enjoy your new home!!!!!
Fantastic experience: We have used several brokers in the past for purchasing and selling homes and Jill Coenen is BY FAR the best broker we've worked with. She's the total package you want in a broker; communication, local service provider contacts, knowledge of the area and home needs, and we just plain trusted her. We have already recommended her to our daughter and son-in-law when they are ready to buy a house. Can't say enough positive things about buying our home through Jill Coenen!
Fantastic experience: We have had the opportunities to work with Jill on both the sale and purchase of a few properties over the years. She is at the top of her field which is why we continue to work with Jill for all of our real estate needs. She is extremely hard working, knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and great at communicating. She strives to make sure she knows what our needs are and works hard to make sure those needs are met. She is very informative and extremely honest about each property, even if that means we pass on a property. She is very dedicated and won’t give up until we find just what we are looking for. She did a wonderful job on the recent sale of our home and she continues to be dedicated in continuing to help us find our dream home, too. She is the very best of the best!
Fantastic experience: Working with Jill Coenen is like working with a well trusted friend or neighbor. Having known her through both of my daughters using her before; I knew she was the only one I was going to contact. She found out what I was looking for and was always willing to work with my schedule for any showings I wanted to see. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell. Thanks Jill!
Fantastic experience: Jill was an absolute pleasure to work with and she made a very stressful time much easier with her help. I will never buy or sell a house without her.
Fantastic experience: Jill is extremely knowledgeable and right on top of things. She made our house-buying experience smooth!
Fantastic experience: Our journey to purchase a cottage on a lake took 10 years and Jill was by our side all the way. To make matters more challenging, we live in Florida so we relied on Jill to forward properties that met our criteria and our changing price points along the way. Jill was extremely flexible in coordinating our travel to facilitate many showings; several of which were very short notice. We cannot thank Jill enough for her patience and perseverance as our price points changed ultimately culminating in a successful purchase. We learned so much from Jill as we toured many properties and she supported us and our decisions 100%. Finally, we feel we no longer have just a Real Estate agent in Jill; we have a friend! Thanks again Jill for all your hard work and efforts; we could not have done it without you!
Fantastic experience: Jill Coenen worked with us through the complicated process of buying a new home and selling our old home simultaneously, and she made it so much easier! She is knowledgable, honest, communicative and friendly. She was a joy to work with, helping us through every step of the process, and we would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!
Fantastic experience: We bought a house from Jill a few months ago and she went above and beyond to make sure everything went smooth and great!!! I would recommend her to anyone selling or buying a house!!! She's the best!!!!!
Negative experience: I left an honest review about my opinion of our experience with Jill as the buyers agent for the sale of our home, but I was threatened with a lawsuit. I believe that says enough. UPDATED TO ADD MY RESPONSE: I appreciate your response, but I want to clarify the perspective behind my review. My frustration came from how negotiations were handled, it often felt like our reasonable attempts to find middle ground were brushed aside, as if you alone could control the terms. You continuously ignored every attempt we had at negotiating back, until we attempted to cancel the contract. Your requests grew increasingly excessive for what was a starter home, and the tone felt more like demands than discussions. We chose your client’s offer because it felt like our own story reflected back to us, and we were genuinely excited for them. But as the process unfolded, the entitlement and behavior we encountered drained the joy out of what should have been a milestone moment for us. Now looking back, it seems like you only made your offer look good on paper, but that you and your clients used this strategy while never intending to stand behind any of it. At the walk‑through, your clients sent over a new list of demands while we still legally owned the home for nearly another 24 hours. I had every intention of taking care of additional items before closing, but the tone of those last‑minute demands, like so much of the transaction, felt controlling and pressured rather than cooperative. What also stood out to me was that your clients were allowed to schedule appointments for my home, a home that was not yet theirs, without even asking for our permission, despite the fact that we had already declined that amendment. In my opinion, that came across as unprofessional and left us feeling disrespected in our own space. The reality is our entire experience, between both agents, was awful. When I wrote my honest perspective, you threatened to sue me if I didn’t remove it. That doesn’t feel like someone genuinely interested in understanding how people experience working with you, it feels like an attempt to silence me for sharing my side. I am glad this is over, but I felt the need to express just how terrible the experience was as a bit of closure. My review isn’t about vengeance at all, I’m using reviews for the purpose they were created for. & in my honest opinion I would never want to see someone else have to deal with what we did with you involved as a buyers agent. It is about the disappointment of seeing what should have been a positive, shared milestone turn into something so negative. I won’t deny the note I left, unfortunately that is never how I wanted to leave a home that we grew our life in, and I was angry that the experience brought me to that point. Regarding “surrendering the keys”, I had never done that. I had every intention of going back the morning of closing, as I still owned the house and had things to grab, so whatever assumption you had that I couldn’t do such is wrong. It’s very interesting that the complaints only came from things you didn’t want to deal with (that I indeed DID have intentions to handle the next morning), but never mentioned any other items left in the house. Maybe ironic, maybe to your buyers own benefit and entitlement, such as this entire transaction was. This whole thing is a shame and is sad. Jill, that is absolutely one thing we can agree on.
I'm genuinely sorry to learn that you felt compelled to post an inaccurate review and then follow up with these comments. To clarify, I have NEVER met you, nor do I have any personal acquaintance with you. My role in this transaction was solely to represent the BUYER of your home. I meticulously adhered to the contract and advocated for my client's best interests, as was my professional duty.
It's common for negotiations to arise during a home sale, and I'm concerned there may have been a significant disconnect in communication from your listing agent. On several occasions, your agent conveyed directly to me that they found you difficult to work with and unreasonable. (Which I thought was very unprofessional as a listing agent working on your behalf.) But this leads me to wonder if there was an overstatement on their part when communicating my buyer's requests to you as well. I sincerely apologize if something was said during negotiations that we are not aware of. My buyer has been excited from day one to purchase your home, and he's one of the most respectful and kind clients I have had the pleasure of working with.
It's truly regrettable that a positive milestone for both you and my buyer has become tainted by such negativity. This should have easily been a very smooth transaction.
At the final walkthrough, my buyer was disappointed to discover that items were missing that were supposed to be left behind, and that a big truck tire (left tucked between the overfull garbage and recyclable bins) along with a jar of some kind of unknown liquid was left beside the garage for my buyer to dispose of. When we politely requested these issues be addressed prior to closing, your response was to threaten to cancel the contract and return only components of the removed items, still making them unusable. (I must include, to be fair, that you did remove the tire and jar of liquid.) It's truly puzzling that you would then leave a one-star review based on fabrications, simply because we asked you to fulfill the responsibilities of a seller.
Then, while at the property removing the tire and jar, you made up an excuse for your agent to come back to the home to let you in (having already surrendered the keys) so you could leave behind an awful note, personally directed at the buyer…how disheartening. My buyer also doesn't know you, and it's unfortunate that you chose to express such ill will on him and your past home. It makes me really sad that you would personally do this, without even knowing this buyer. (Unfortunately, Google doesn’t have an option for attaching a photo of the note, but you wrote: “You turned the end of this chapter ugly, but it will always be more ours than it will ever be yours.”) Very sad.
Ultimately, the most important outcome is that my buyer has successfully acquired a home where he and his family can create a wonderful future. We hope it brings you some peace in knowing your old home is loved.
I understand selling a home is a big decision and can be a challenging and emotional time in anyone's lives. I'm thinking this is exactly what's going on, and I sincerely wish you the very best for years to come!
Fantastic experience: I could not recommend Jill enough. I worked along side my fiancé and her, looking at countless houses and asking her just about every question a person could think of - but to no avail, Jill had an answer. And if she didn’t know at that moment, she found out. Jill has so much experience, additionally, comfort that anyone making a big purchase wants. We couldn’t be happier with our experience. We highly recommend Jill!
THANK YOU!
It was nothing by a pleasure working with you! Enjoy your new home and keep me updated on the improvements. I can't wait to see all the results of your hard work!!!!
Fantastic experience: She will work very hard for you!
THANK YOU so very much!
Your words are appreciated more than you will ever know!
Fantastic experience: Jill took care of me during this process. It was my first home purchase, and there is a lot that goes into it and it can be confusing. Jill spent a lot of time helping me through the process. She included my friends and family in the connections, but she ultimately focused on what I needed, since it was my name on the purchase. I've already referred Jill to a coworker, for a reason!
Thank you so much for your review! It was a pleasure working with you Adam!
Fantastic experience: Jill was wonderful to work with. Her knowledge of the industry and enthusiasm cannot be matched. We are so thankful that we chose Jill to help us in selling our home and highly recommend her to anyone selling in the Fox Valley!
Thank you for your kind words! I truly enjoyed working with you on the sale of your home!
Fantastic experience: Back 11 yrs ago Jill went all out to help find my perfect home that fits my needs. Because of health issues it was time to sell. We got Jill again. If your looking for the best realtor, Jill's the one. Less the 36 hrs after house was on the market we were offered the bid we where hoping for. Less then a month later we closed. Jill goes beyond what a lot of people wouldn't do. We can't thank Jill enough for her hard work and dedication. Thank you for everything.
Thank you for your kind words! It was a pleasure working with you Warren!
Fantastic experience: Jill was amazing! Not only was she knowledgeable and informative regarding the selling of my house, but she had a wonderful personality to go along with it! She also worked with my schedule. I was so fortunate to have found her! I highly recommend her!
Fantastic experience: Jill makes everything easy. We used Jill multiple times for selling and buying our homes. The latest she helped us navigate the market, and what she told us would happen was right on. Her work ethic and energy is impressive. Jill’s expertise and positive energy combine to make what can be a stressful process easy and fun. She has gone above and beyond on multiple occasions to constantly exceed our expectations. I recommend her to all of my family and friends as the only option when looking at buying or selling. Thank you again Jill!
Fantastic experience: Jill went above and beyond throughout the process of selling my home and buying another. She was thorough, detailed and very patient with my questions. She was very approachable and responsive. I learned a lot from her and knew I was in good hands every step of the way. She and her staff are top-notch and went out of their way to make everything go smoothly.
Fantastic experience: Simply the best!
Fantastic experience: My husband and I were referred to Jill by a family member and several friends. She was quick to set up our initial meeting, really took the time to learn and understand what we were looking for in a home, and through in explaining every step of the home buying process to us. We were first time homebuyers and it was so comforting to know we had someone so knowledgeable in our corner. Jill always made herself available to answer any questions we had, set up showings, and send us comps. I'm honestly not sure when she sleeps because she was always there for whatever we needed. She helped us find our dream home, and made the closing process effortless. We are so grateful for all of her hard work and we look forward to enjoying our new home with our growing family for years to come. When the time comes to sell this property and transition to something new we can't wait to work with Jill again.
Fantastic experience: This is the 2nd home we are selling and buying (new home) with Jill. We could not have asked for a better realtor over the past 6 years. She is knowledgeable regarding the market, but also has a wealth of resources for other avenues for things needing to w fixed, inspections etc.. She listens, gives great advice, but at the end of the day works for her clients like crazy. We love her
Fantastic experience: Jill is great to work with! She's helped me, my immediate family, and some family friends find and purchase new homes. I would not hesitate to use her again. She made the process of buying and selling very seamless, and I would not hesitate to recommend her if you are looking for an agent.
Fantastic experience: Jill was a wonderful partner to work with during the sale of our home. She listened to us and worked hard to ease any concerns. She was always available to answer our questions. We would highly recommend Jill. She is a true professional helping us to navigate through a very stressful process for us. We very much appreciated her extensive knowledge of the market.
Fantastic experience: Jill is a very professional and knowledgeable real estate agent who went out of her way to help us in the process of buying and selling . She was accessible even into the evening hours. She always answered our questions in a timely fashion. I would recommend her to friends and acquaintances with in a heartbeat. Thank you Jill.
Fantastic experience: Jill is an excellent resource for people with little or extensive experience with houses. What made her a great asset to us was her knowledge of the area as well as her knowledge of different home buying options from new construction and used homes to building and renovating. She was also quick with coming up with local contacts for all the work we are considering doing. High recommendation from us.
Fantastic experience: Jill made a difficult process smooth and positive. We were selling the family home and it was challenging for all. Jill is one of the most positive, caring, and efficient people I have ever met! She did an amazing job for our family and we would highly recommend her whether you are selling or buying.
Fantastic experience: Jill went above and beyond when helping us sell our home! The first sale fell through and she had us under contract with a new buyer same day. We couldn’t be happier with her expertise and service.
Fantastic experience: We worked with Jill on a few properties recently....her knowledge and communication are the best. She goes way above and beyond.
Fantastic experience: I am a home inspector, so I know and work with most of the realtors in the area. It speaks for itself that Jill is the realtor I chose to work with!
Fantastic experience: Jill was fantastic to work with from start to finish being first time home buyers. Very knowledgeable and always there to answer any questions we had. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Jill was very helpful in the selling process. She answered every question and was very quick to get back to us when we called. I would definitely work with her again!!
Fantastic experience: Jill is great! Very knowledgeable and thorough with all details of the home buying process. Spent as much time with me as I needed at showings and answering questions.
Fantastic experience: Jill was the hardest working most readily available agent, She's completely dedicated. But hard work isn't enough, She's extremely knowledgeable not just about neighborhoods and prices, but also about home construction, market trends, and potential pitfalls in various properties. If you've ever ridden in someone's car to look at listings you already saw online wondering why they were getting a percentage of the home sale when you could do this on your own you owe it to yourself to work with Jill and realize the benefits of working with a home expert.
Fantastic experience: I have worked with Jill on several real estate transactions and have been very pleased with her service each time. Jill has sold three houses for us, helped us in purchasing two homes and has consulted with me on other real estate endeavors. Most recently Jill went well out of her way to help us sell a character home, listing it locally and nationally to find the best buyers. Jill is a people person and is passionate about her career. I have always been very pleased with her ability to communicate, her friendly demeanor, but I am mostly impressed with her work ethic. She does whatever it takes to meet with her clients as their schedule dictates, is punctual and accurate with all the documentation required and is professional in every way. We were out of town during our house's showings and open houses and Jill went back to our house every day to be sure the lights were off and the house clean and locked up every day we were gone. It is a pleasure working with Jill.
Fantastic experience: Jill did a fantastic job helping us sell our parents house. She helped us figure out many items we couldn't have done on our own including managed forest land rules and estate rules. She made herself available whenever we needed her and when well above what we would have gotten from other realtors. She will definately be our first choice in the future.
Fantastic experience: Jill was fantastic, sold my house in 2 day!!!!!!
Fantastic experience: Jill Coenen is the definition of Amazing, Highly recommend her
Fantastic experience: Would definitely hire Jill again. Very good at selling homes.
Positive experience: Jill was very easy to work with. She explained the entire sale/marketing process in easy to understand terms. I would definitely recommend her for your realty needs!
Fantastic experience: Best of the best. With Jill we were well informed and knew we represented by someone who had our best interests in mind at all times.
Fantastic experience: Jill was the best realtor I have ever worked with! She was always on time, pleasant and professional. She has a vast knowledge of the areas I was interested in, which was good because I am new to the area. I would highly recommend Jill !!
Fantastic experience: We wanted someone who would know how to market our somewhat unique property (a home office turned into a residence). She staged, marketed and was there with us through the bureaucratic hurdles we faced. Our home sold above our asking price, and we actually closed in less than three months from signing our contract! I could say more but if you want a competent, knowledgeable, easy-going realtor to handle your sale, you can't do better than Jill.
Fantastic experience: Excellent! Jill Coenan has become our families real estate agent go to. She truly is the best there is!
Fantastic experience: Our first home buying experience was so wonderful with Jill Coenen! Here are some bullet points about why she's so awesome: • extensive knowledge about homes, the area she serves, and the real estate market and home buying process • passion and pride in her job • incredibly personable and friendly nature--just a kind, funny person overall • always available for a chat, to squeeze us in for a showing, or to answer questions, no matter how stupid • more patience than anyone I've ever met. Though the real estate market is insane right now, I am so glad we had Jill in our corner to help us through it all. I will recommend her to everyone I know!
Fantastic experience: We were referred to Jill when we were looking for a house a few years ago and she was super friendly and very patient with us (we looked at A LOT of houses lol) and helped us negotiate with the seller to get the deal that we wanted. So this year when we decided to sell our rental property she was our #1 pick to do the job. Jill walked us through the selling process and was always available to answer our questions - and once again she was able to get us what we were hoping for!
Fantastic experience: Jill was a wonderful realtor to work with. She was very educated about the area and extremely knowledgeable about about features of a home. She pointed out many items throughout a house to watch out for and connected with me right away. I will recommend her to everybody that is looking for a house because she puts you first and works her schedule around any of her agents.
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Jill Coenen to anyone looking to buy or sell a house! She was recommended to me by my aunt and after the first time meeting her, it was already clear why. She really knows what she's talking about and managed to make the buying process fun (yes, even in the current market!). She has a great sense of humor, but also knows when to be serious. She made sure my fiancé and I understood every part of the buying process and she answered any questions we had. She has a large amount of knowledge about this field and it's clear that she is passionate about her profession.
Fantastic experience: Jill helped us get out first home even though the sellers were a pain. After the sale she has been helpful for contractor referrals. Highly recommend her to anyone.
Fantastic experience: Jill is amazing! Professional yet completely personal- not only did she help us find our 1st home, once we were ready to move- she helped us sell it too! She made the whole experience less stressful and even enjoyable! I wouldn't want to work with anyone else!
