Bill Paulson

  • Bill listed and sold my home

      Bill had come highly recommended to us. We found him pleasant, not pushy, & very knowledgeable about the housing market. He was a pleasure to deal with, explained things well and kept the purchase on track. In fact, he even did some of what should have been done by the less attentive seller's agent. Working with Bill helped convince me, an attorney, to become a Keller-Williams broker, and Bill is currently my mentor.

    • Bill helped me buy a home

        A friend of ours, helped by Bill to purchase a home a couple of years ago, introduced us. He was quick to reach out to us to understand what we were looking for (in terms of the type, speck, price and location) and also set us up to receive daily/weekly updates of home listings, including private home viewing. We started the search for our home with Bill in the Fall of 2016 and eventually found one that met our needs in Jan. 2018. Throughout the entire process, Bill proved to be highly knowledgeable. He was patient, understanding, highly responsive and relentless in guiding us as first-time home buyers. We will gladly engage his services again and highly recommend him.

      • Bill listed and sold my home

          "We recently sold our home in Natick MA and had the luck and great pleasure to closely work with Bill Paulson (Keller Williams Realty) as our representative on the seller side. We could not have ask for a better support! When compared to several other realtors that we've experienced in buying and selling houses nationally and internationally, Bill tops them all. He is a true professional, extremely knowledgable, an excellent listener, super responsive and attentive to details as well as an outstanding performer and negotiator when it comes to close the transaction. And most important to us, Bill is a very fine human being, very friendly, trustworthy, honest, personable and easy to work with. In following his invaluable advice and support the entire process from start to finish was seamless and smooth. By using modern web based technologies (much differentiated from other real estate agencies) he was able to find us a buyer making a full offer for our home after just 4 days being on the market. Bill truly made the difference for us in all aspects and we cannot thank him enough for all his outstanding efforts to make this transaction a success in no time! We highly recommend Bill for any real estate needs you might have!”

        • Bill listed and sold my home

            Advisor, Counselor, Domain expert, Financial guru... these would be just a few ways that I would describe our home sale with Bill Paulson. At every stage during our sale, Bill was there to help, guide and recommend . He did not dictate, but always laid out choices and options. He gave his opinion and explained why he would adopt the decision. Bill took a true interest in working to sell our home and we felt that he was a partner throughout the process. Bill and the integrated process and technology used by the folks at Keller were a great help. We received regular updates on what had been done, what was planned. Bill and the team did 'their homework' and were always prepared and ready for the next step or discussion. We knew what were our responsibilities. Bill and his team helped and facilitated in many areas from utilities, potential deed/title issues, inspection, moving assistance and referrals. When there were questions or issues, Bill was patient and was proactive in communicating with all parties to make sure we had no miscommunication. He helped to calm our anxiety when things felt 'wobbly'. I would highly recommend as your partner to sell your home. His extensive knowledge of the local market was a great advantage to maximize the exposure and marketing of our home. Tim and Mary McCleary

          • Bill listed and sold my home

              Very happy with Bill's guidance.

            • Bill listed and sold my home

                After we purchased a condominium on the South Shore we needed to ramp up the sale of our Needham home quickly. We had met Bill at an open house awhile ago and had asked him questions relating to the salability of our house. He was considerate of our questions and gave us useful suggestions. We then asked Bill to handle the sale this past October. Bill was immediately on board and guided us through getting our house ready for market. Bill’s knowledge of the Needham real estate market was a huge asset, and his many professional contacts assisted us in seamlessly readying our home for an open house…and our house sold in a day. Bill helped us through the maze of moving with targeted deadlines which made for a streamlined sale. We highly recommend Bill as a professional who is dedicated to serving his clients.

              • Bill helped me buy a home

                  Bill Paulson is an extremely knowledgeable, detailed, thorough and patient realtor. He has an excellent sense of the market, housing trends and home owning best practices. He listens to what his clients want and need and then builds and executes his corresponding strategies perfectly. He is responsive, reliable and a joy to work with - we cannot recommend him strongly enough!

                • Bill listed and sold my home

                    Bill is very involved and connected in our town. He accomplished the near impossible and found us a home that checked all our boxes (in our price range!) in a highly competitive market. Bill even went to see a house for us when we were out of town! His patience and dedication to his clients is truly amazing. He brought us homes to see before they hit MLS and helped us ultimately win in a multiple offer situation. Once he found us our new home, we used him to sell our old home. He made the process easy and got us significantly more than we expected! He has an amazing network and recommended people to help make sure everything went smoothly (cleaners, attorney, staging consultation). His problem solving and negotiation skills helped us tremendously! We would recommend Bill to any and all of our friends and family. We have experienced working with Bill as both a buyer and a seller — he exceeded our expectations in both roles. Without Bill, I truly believe we never would have got our new house or sold our home for as much as we did. Highly recommend!! Thank you Bill!

                  • Bill showed me homes

                      I have faced Bill Paulson across the game board. I was a buyer and he was representing the seller. I can attest to the fact that he is a true warrior. - He scheduled three open houses (Thursday, Saturday and Sunday) for the house the week it went on sale, going out of his way to make it easy for buyers to see the place - He proactively followed up with us on SMS after my wife and I stopped by his open house. - He persuaded us (the buyers) to include a clause in the offer that said we will pay for up to $5000 of repairs. This saved the seller money when a radon test at the house showed elevated radon leveles. - He consistently replied to all texts and e-mails within minutes - When he found that we (the buyers) did not have a buyer's agent, he agreed to let the sellers keep the buyers' agent's half of the commission. If he had not offered to reduce his commission from 5% to 2.5%, our offer would almost certainly have been rejected. - He sold the house in less than a week for $80K more than its Zillow estimate. I highly recommend Bill to anyone looking for a realtor in the Boston area.

                    • Bill listed and sold my home

                        We decided to sell our cherished home while we were caring for an elderly parent and living out of state, while tenants were living in our home. Bill provided expert guidance and assistance every step of the way. His suggestions to improve showing, and prompt communications gave us peace of mind and moved the process along efficiently, despite many obstacles. With his skills and experience of the market, he was able to sell our house for 150k over asking price! His personal skills helped minimize interruptions to the tenants, selling the house with just 2 open houses in one weekend. We recommend Bill highly and without reservation to anyone who is considering selling their home.

                      • We used Bill to sell our home in Needham. Bill is very attentive to all the questions and concerns that a home seller or buyer might have. He is amazingly responsive to calls, e-mails, etc that inevitably crop up when involved in such a major transaction. He explains the sales process in understandable terms from the beginning to the end. He went above and beyond to expedite our sale when there was a question regarding the title that required a bit of investigation. This is something that the attorney would normally do, but Bill obtained the information quickly on his own by going to the county records and doing the necessary ground work. Bill is a very nice person and we enjoyed getting to know him. He works very hard for his clients. He is detail oriented and provides many suggestions and tools for a smooth transition. One such example is a service called Updater that Bill connects you with which manages the transfer of mail, utilities, etc - all the things that one tends to forget while immersed in the selling / buying of the home. Bill approaches his trade with the utmost professionalism and a calm demeanor. You won't go wrong using his services. Thanks for all your help, Bill.

                      • We were forced to put our beloved home on the market while living 3000 miles away in Los Angeles. Bill managed the tricky and thankless jobs of working around our tenants, staging our home, orchestrating various fix-up projects, and closing open building permits with a level of professionalism we were grateful for. In a volatile market, he sold our house for a great price in a short amount of time. More importantly, he gave us peace of mind during what could have been a very trying time. Bill knows the town like the back of his hand; we would recommend him to anyone looking to sell their house in an anxiety-free and professional manner.

                      • My wife and I retained Bill Paulson to sell our home. When we first met Bill he immediately impressed us for his professionalism and his knowledge and experience in the RE market. We especially liked the constant and quick 2-way communication phoning, emailing, and texting. He was available 24/7. Right from the beginning, Bill went into action open houses, caravan tour for other agents, newspaper promotion, etc. His personalized client website kept us updated on the status of the selling process. He made many suggestions on home improvements and staging that we acted on. Within 6 weeks we had an offer! During the buyer offer stage, Bill skillfully negotiated on our behalf, resulting in a final price better than we expected. If youre looking for an agent who is serious, professional, and gets results, we highly recommend Bill.

                      • Bill Paulson helped us plan, prep, negotiate and sell our mother's condo in record time. We got the best price the building has seen in months and the process was streamlined by Bill. He is a savvy negotiator and knows how to get the deal... done. I highly recommend Bill to anyone for his knowledge of the market, professionalism, marketing approach, website to manage the many details of the deal, tenacity, sense of fairness and his integrity. Bill is a fabulous realtor who I recommend without reservation.
