About Karen Goins

Broker Agent I love to help people buy and sell Real Estate. Whether you are a buyer looking for your 1st home, transferee, or an investor or a seller upsizing, downsizing or wanting to do a short sale, I can help you! I have been selling real estate since 1994 and helped hundreds of my clients buy and sell their home. I have been awarded the RE/MAX Hall of Fame award, Lifetime Achievement award and the 100% Club Award. Also proud to be in the top 100 RE/MAX real estate agents in Northern IL being awarded the Platinum Club Award in 2012 - #77, 2013 - #41, 2014 - #39, 2015 - #38 & 2016 - #18, and #12 in 2017. Also, in the Top 10 Realtors in McHenry County in 2018. Originally from Tennessee but moved to IL in 1984. I have seen the northwest suburbs grow and change tremendously! I moved to Algonquin in 1992 and live and work there to this day! Real Estate keeps me busy but during my personal time I enjoy going to the movies, listening to music, going to sporting events, going out to eat and hanging out with my family & friends. I also enjoy volunteering for Susan B. Komen Race for the Cure and donating and helping with the Children's Miracle Network Radiothon. Please let me know if I can be of any real estate assistance to you. I am happy to meet with you to discuss your options whether it is buying or selling. Consultations & a market analysis are free! Give me a call or send me an email. I want to be your real estate agent for life and the agent you always think of when you or your friends and family are looking for a real estate advisor! I am always happy to help!

Karen was awesome to work with. She helped us with a quick buy that happened in a matter of 3 weeks from first viewing to closing. She responded quickly to our texts or phone calls, with answers to our questions, and spent hours with us as we contemplated this buy. Karen was extremely knowledgeable and enjoyable to work with. She has been working with our daughter to find a home that fits their bill and that is how we learned about her, recommended by our daughter. We too highly recommend Karen Goins. We will definitely use her again in the future if we need a realtor. Thank you, Karen, for your expertise, time, patience, and help with our home purchase.

Karen helped me sell 3 of my rental properties. When I had made the decision to sell, I didnt hesitate to call her. Being in the business myself in Arizona, I knew exactly what to look for in an agent. Karen checks off all of the boxes. She is knowledgeable, attentive to her clients needs, and extremely communicative. Hire her with confidence. She wont disappoint!

Working with Karen on the sale of our home was great. She was quick to respond to our wants and needs, was flexible with her time and knew exactly what we needed to do to make sure our house was ready to sell quickly. She was very responsive and quick to get us into the houses we wanted to look at and once we found our new home, her negotiation and communication skill were top notch. Would recommend!
