Karen Goins, Realtor | RE/MAX Suburban

Fantastic experience: Karen was very professional and had my house sold within two weeks. She is very familiar with the neighborhood and the current market. I counted on her for her excellent advice. I am now happily retired in Florida.

Fantastic experience: We were referred to Karen by a family member and were not disappointed. As soon as we signed on with her she jumped right in and made all the arrangements to sell our house. She quickly had a professional presentation, along with financials, and a professional photographer booked. Karen was always available to take our calls and answer questions, and our house sold in 6 days!

Fantastic experience: I worked with Karen last fall on an estate home sale. I found Karen to be very knowledgeable, responsive, and thorough. She gave very sound advice on pricing and positioning of the home which led to a fairly rapid sale at a good market value. If you are buying or selling in the Algonquin, IL, area, I would definitely recommend her.

Fantastic experience: I had an excellent experience with Karen. Karen is communicative, professional, and thorough. When Karen first visited my former property she gave me a detailed list of the surrounding properties and what they had sold for (this helped with deciding how much to list the property for), did a walk through and recommended cosmetic finishes that would inspire someone to purchase the property, and explained how items like commission and receiving the proceeds worked. Karen is very patient and was willing to take my calls and answer texts at all hours of the day. If you are looking for someone who will make purchasing or selling any type of property a seamless process, I highly recommend using Karen!

Fantastic experience: I was on the other side of a deal with Karen and she was amazing to work with. She had constant follow up in communication throughout the entire process and did a really great job fit her clients!

Fantastic experience: I was very happy that we went with Karen & Remax to List our Home. No pressure. and listed the proberty for the price i suggested . We had a offer with a closing in 4 weeks from offer. With holidays. and I was currently out of state, and then snowed and was cold the whole week prior to losing date. I was trying to get everything out and then drive 1100 miles in 7 days before haf to gey back to work. . I was exhausted and needed more time but i had to return to work and not get everything out. KAREN TOOK CHARGE and arranged for the heavy furniture I left to be removed and donated items and really earned her commission. I Don't think we would of been able to complete the sale with that buyer , if not for her effort. She was Up front honest and identified things to get done before we started showing . IT was a pleasure to work with.

Fantastic experience: Karen is a wonderful person to work with and she is very In her job . Excellent customer service. She went above and beyond to help me to find a home!! You are a five star ⭐️ . Thank you for your service!!!

Fantastic experience: We chose Karen for being so knowledgeable and familiarized in our area for buying and selling. She was with us through our whole journey and did great at helping us buy a home and then selling ours in only days!! We highly recommend working with her!! Awesome!! Thank you so much, Karen!!

Positive experience: Hire her. Okay so, our experience was stressful, we had a trash landlord and had to vacate within the year and we had just gotten qualified to purchase a home; Karen was luckily assigned to us through Internet services, and this woman was a god sent through the whole situation. She's very understanding and down to earth. She was very non judgemental on our price range and patient (we probably went through probably every available property within the whole county) and then after many moons we found our dream home with Karen. If you're looking for a house, you want Karen.

Fantastic experience: Karen was quick and efficient to list our rental. Provided good insight and was able to get a tenent in our unit faster and with the least amount of effort on our part. Will definitely reach out to Karen for future rentals.

Fantastic experience: Karen did a amazing job marketing our home sold very quickly, and it went into a bidding war. GREAT JOB !!!

Fantastic experience: Working with Karen was outstanding from start to finish. We met with several realtors before we decided to go with Karen. We could not be happier with our choice. She is experienced, professional and personable, and we will use her the next time we need a realtor. Thank you, Karen, for all your hard work.

Negative experience: I had an extremely disappointing and unprofessional experience when viewing a home she was selling. After I decided to cancel my offer for personal reasons (we found a larger home that better fit our family needs and our businesses), she claimed that the real reason I canceled was because I “couldn’t afford it.” Racists neighbors and the homeowner agreed with her, based on my appearance, that I couldn’t afford the property. The homeowner supposedly confirmed this after seeing me on her security cameras. Comments like this are inappropriate, discriminatory, and have no place in real estate. Buyers should be judged by their actual qualifications, not by assumptions based on how they look. I would not recommend working with someone who makes such judgments. Karen Goins!!! Your response does not reflect my experience. I stand by my review. Regardless of what was written in emails, I was told directly that the reason I canceled was because I ‘couldn’t afford it.’ You clearly said that. That comment just defines you, I’m sorry you have the wrong information. FYI, The home was small for my family and end up finding a bigger home. Thanks for your feedback.

Fantastic experience: Karen provides such a wonderful service. My family and I have used her several times to buy and sell homes and I constantly am referring her to others.

Fantastic experience: I just wanted to say what a great experience it was having Karen as my realtor. She went above and beyond helping me sell a rental property I had in Algonquin Illinois. As an Arizona resident I relied on her professionalism and expertise dealing with various tradesmen preparing the property to be sold. I was also very impressed with the excellent people she found for me to get the property looking fantastic before it was put on the market. I highly recommend Karen to anyone looking to sell there home quickly and for a great price. The home sold also immediately and for even more than the listing price. Thanks for all your help Karen!

Fantastic experience: I used Karen when we originally moved to Algonquin and we bought our home in Willoughby Farm Estates. She is the most patient knowledgeable agent I had ever worked with. When we were ready to sell the house in Algonquin, we called her to again be our agent, this time selling. She gave us great pointers on getting the house ready, came over a few times to see how it was going and gave more pointers. Her listing price was spot on, we didn't have to change it at all and sold to the first people who came to see it. I would suggest calling Karen Goins if you are selling or buying in Algonquin and 200% call her if you are looking or selling in Willoughby Farms or Willoughby Farm Estates.

Fantastic experience: It was a pleasure working with Karen Goins. She was knowledgeable, helpful, prompt and responsive. We cannot recommend Karen enough for she made the sale of our house easy and effortless.

Fantastic experience: Karen was great! She helped me through my first home purchase! I was originally looking for homes further south, and she made no complaints about the far drive! (Thank you again for that! I know it sucked.) I ended up purchasing a home in the northern suburbs, and when making an offer, she provided valuable advice on how to navigate the process! If you are looking for someone who is helpful, informative, and can guide you, Karen is the realtor for you!

Negative experience: So many good real estate agents in the area. Avoid this one at all costs.
