ZillowVERIFIEDI went to Bill for assistance both in selling my old house and buying a new one. Bill was amazing and I quite literally could not have done it without him. His contacts in the trade proved invaluable when evaluating a home to purchase. Bills depth of knowledge made the process easy. He walked me through both buying and selling, educating me with his easy manner, throughout the undertaking. He more than earned his keep both in the buying and selling process, saving me money in the purchase and more than earning his keep in the protracted sales negotiation process. Bills communication style meshed perfectly with my expectations. He was great at communicating when there was news, yet he didnt pester me when there was nothing to report. When I had questions, he had good answers. In all he made a complicated process so much easier. Whether buying or selling, I would recommend Bill Hays to anyone. His years of experience in the business show in his easy style, his passion, his depth of knowledge, and in his enthusiasm. Many thanks for a job well done.

ZillowVERIFIED Bill worked with me on selling my aunt's house after she passed as a part of her estate. He came recommended to me from a number of others who have used him to buy or sell property. Throughout the whole process, he communicated with me often and clearly (even after normal business hours). The entire process seemed effortless form my vantage point. Bill is a great realtor; he knows the market and he knows Baraboo. I enthusiastically recommend him if you're in the market for buying or selling a house or property!

ZillowVERIFIED We have nothing but great things to say about working with Bill! He has helped us buy a home, sell a home, and most recently buy a lot of land to build on. He was incredibly patient with us through all of these experiences and quick to address any concerns we had. If you want someone who is knowledgeable, professional, easy to work with, and has your best interests at heart, he's your guy!

ZillowVERIFIED Bill Hays sold two properties for me. He made sure I was happy with and understood every decision along the way. I had an accepted offer on both properties in about a week after listing. I had a great experience and highly recommend Bill if you're looking for a realtor.

Review for Member: Bill Hays
ZillowVERIFIED Bill has been amazing to work with. My husband and I purchased our first home with him about 7 years ago. We had so many questions and Bill was so easy to contact and provided us with the answers almost immediately. We felt so relieved that we were able to find someone who never seemed irritated with us and never made us feel like we were asking a dumb question. He was also great at keeping us updated on new listings that matched our requirements. He was very well informed about each property we toured and we found an amazing home. Now 7 years later we made the decision to move and immediately knew we wanted to work with Bill again. Our previous experience with him went perfectly so why would we look to anyone else! Bill once again helped us sell not only our current home but also a rental property that I had inherited. As a first time seller I had a ton of questions and Bill was there with all the answers! He was so flexible with my crazy work schedule and never left me wondering when I would hear back from him. I can say without a doubt I will ALWAYS recommend Bill Hays to anyone looking for a realtor!

ZillowVERIFIED Bill was highly referred to us by a family member who used his services to buy their house. He was professional and personable, and a joy to work with. We were able to rely on his extensive knowledge of the local area and his expertise on the local market on the land we wanted to buy. We were able to purchase land this past February and could not have been successful without Bills guidance and advice.

ZillowVERIFIED Bill was very insightful to the market and suggested key improvements to invest in home upgrades for a quick sale. He was always quick to respond to our questions and easy to talk to. Bill walked us through the entire process for a seamless close! I would definitely use Bill again for a sale of a home or to purchase additional property.

ZillowVERIFIED Bill was our realtor for our duplex/condos in Baraboo and he did such a great job that years later we also had him list our rural Sauk City home of 18 years. The video and pictures he had done for our home listing was very impressive. My only advice for you is to start packing way before you call him. Patti Haselwander, Sauk City, WI

ZillowVERIFIED We worked with Bill to sell riverfront property that we had owned for several years. Our plans to build a vacation home changed so we wanted to sell. We were very happy with the service we received from Bill and would recommend him to others. He is knowledgeable of the area and property values. He stayed in contact with us keeping us up to date on his progress. The photos he took for our listing were very impressive (used a drone to photo lot from the water which unless you were on a boat it was not possible to view the landscape.) He did an excellent job selling our property. We would highly recommend him!Jim and Lee K

ZillowVERIFIED It is with great pleasure that I am writing to recommend Bill Hays to anyone searching for a realtor in the Sauk County area. Bill recently orchestrated the sale of our family cabin, and the entire experience was as pleasurable as it was seamless. Even though our situation was less than ideal for him (out-of-state clients, a non-conforming property, small commission), Bill tackled the listing with the same creative, can-do energy he offers to all his clients. His honesty, professionalism and vast local knowledge were unparalleled and his warmth and sense of humor were a joy to be around. Hands down, Bill Hays is the best realtor we have ever worked with.

Review for Member: Bill Hays
ZillowVERIFIED We contacted Bill, because his name was on the realty sign where we discovered a small cottage and property for sale. I'm not sure which was the luckiest find, the cottage or meeting Bill. In a location where properties rarely come on the market and land deals are tricky Bill was an amazing conduit between us, the sellers, our bankers, and the local governmental agencies. Due to red tape and appraiser errors we thought the deal wasn't going to happen. After a few days of dealing with our disappointment, Bill called with some ideas of how we and the sellers could get the deal done. Without Bill's efforts, his ability to communicate and thoughtful people management skills, we would not be enjoying our dream getaway near Devil's Lake.Bill made it possible for both the sellers and the buyers to feel great about the deal we all made.

ZillowVERIFIED Coming from both buying and selling points of view, Bill was transparent in every step, and made the process so easy! We bought our first house with him, and when we decided to sell, we accepted an offer less than 2 days after listing it. Professional, timely, and reliable!

ZillowVERIFIED This is the guy you need. My husband and I cannot say enough about Bill. He was so wonderful to work with, extremely knowledgeable, understanding and just a great guy and easy to talk to. We greatly appreciated his honesty and advice throughout the whole process and he is the reason we were able to get our dream home. We cant thank him enough for his patience and sticking it out with us till the end!

Review for Member: Bill Hays
ZillowVERIFIED My wife and I initially chose Bill Hays to sell our rural Wisconsin home, because he comes across as no stranger to the outdoors. He had a comfortable way about him, and he seemed to understand why people appreciate open spaces and the peace and quiet of the country. That said, I dont doubt he could sell an in-town house or condo just as effortlessly. He has exactly the right amount of marketing savvy, patience, and common sense and will take the time to answer even the simplest question. Bill is an extraordinary real estate agent, the kind of salesperson to whom you could trust your investment.

ZillowVERIFIED Bill Hays is a true Real Estate Professional. He handled both the sale of our old home and the purchase of a new home. He listened to what we wanted and remained flexible. He was always a text or phone call away and responded promptly to my many questions, and was early or on time for all appointments. Having grown up in the Baraboo area, he knows so much about the history and inhabitants of the area, which made looking at the many houses quite fun. He knows every aspect of the business, from showing homes, to maintenance help, to negotiations, to loan programs. He is patient and impartial and never once did we ever feel pressured. He knows the market and he knows his job and you can depend on Bill Hays to handle your real estate transaction with prompt, efficient, professional service.

ZillowVERIFIED Bill represented us when we attempted to sell in 2015. Even though we did not sell, Bill had periodically followed up with us regarding market conditions. When the time came to list again, Bill took the time to explain the entire process to us once we received the offer we wanted. The entire process was painless and effortless. I would highly recommend Bill and his team to anyone looking for quick results with efficiency in mind.

ZillowVERIFIED Our first time buying a home was a success and we owe it to our amazing lender and of course Bill!. He was great with us and kept constant communication. After about 8 months of searching, showings, rejected offers, we were finally able to close on our favorite home! Bill made the process easy for us and answered all of our questions. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home! Specially if you are a first time home buyer! Thank you Bill!

Review for Member: Bill Hays
ZillowVERIFIED Bill did a great job. He is the first realtor that has ever presented me with a detailed analysis on what my listing should in dollar amount, but laid out the risks and supported me when I challenged and requested a higher listing price due to the upgrades and work I put into the home the previous 18 months. I was moving to another state quickly for a job and Bill took care of the process in detail. There was a bad storm that caused damages that needed resolved before a final sale and Bill managed this with little involvement from me. He made a very stressful situation manageable for me and my family. Overall, he made this quick and easy transition while the house had an accepted offer within 45 days.

Review for Member: Bill Hays
ZillowVERIFIED We tried doing the looking ourself thing for over a year. But so much of what was online wasn't really available. Or we were too late. Certainly anything worth buying went fast. Even contemplated a build because it was getting so irritating. We had a little over three months until the end of our lease, again. We had tried a couple Realtors but never chose one to work with for various reasons. That's when we called Hays. Within a couple days Bill and Mallory had us look at more homes than we had managed to see in an entire year. Our time was short and we really don't think it was going to be possible to find what we wanted. We weren't even quite sure what we wanted. Bill did not get our hopes up. What he did do was show us a ridiculous amount of houses. For the next few weeks it seemed like whenever we have free time. we were looking at a house. Of course it was our choice. We wanted to look at everything in price range. Bill and Mallary kept scheduling, Showing, all with decent attitude. Always quick responses to emails so we didn't lose a chance to see anything new. Which ended up being very important. Being a first time buyer the negotiation process was a little new to me. Bill explained it very well and was very helpful. A couple negotiations didn't go my way. Primarily because I had some ridiculous request. They always did as I asked. Of course guiding when asked but in the end I didn't always take their advice. Without issue. One day a house came on the market and we were the first or 2nd ones to see it. It was the location we had been looking for, and much more. Again Bill and Mallory did a very good at explaining the buying process. We as buyers had some issues( issue specific to us, nothing about realtor or sale) most other buyers will not have. They never took issue with it and did everything I asked once again. Answering questions and giving guidance whenever asked. In the end we got what we wanted. We did not have to sign that new lease. When talking to Bill and Mallory it's like one in the same. There was never any miscommunication between them. Always on top of things. I didn't have to repeat emails. both very nice, helpful, and more punctual than us. I cant thank them enough for the work they did for us.

ZillowVERIFIED Bill was extremely knowledgeable about the market and process of buying a home. He was quick to answer all of our questions and was there every step of the way to walk us through the process as first time home buyers. He was very patient with us and would go the extra mile to travel a distance even if it was just to look at one house. Bill helped us take things into consideration we may not have thought of to ensure we were getting the house we loved. He made everything about the process so smooth and seamless for us and we would definitely work with Bill again as he was so easy to work with.

ZillowVERIFIED Bill was beyond fantastic to work with!!! He is from the area so knows the market and the surrounding areas well! He takes the time to get to know you and what kind of home you are looking for. As a first time home buyer, I had no idea what I was doing, and he was able to answer everything or point out things in homes that I wouldn't have thought to look at! He is truly on the buyers side and was always available - phone, email, text! This guy goes above and beyond to be flexible and work within your schedule even if that means working outside of his normal schedule! Without a doubt I'd use Bill again!!!

ZillowVERIFIED I have known Bill for many years. He is a go-getter, honest, and on top of his game. He goes beyond what his duties require. Most of all he is an excellent communicator. I have called and texted him and he gets back to me day or night. He explains any questions I have, and has walked me through many of the processed of buying and selling. I would hire him in a minute again. He found a home for my daughter, sold my mom's condo, found the perfect wooded lot for my new home, and is selling my log home and property.

Review for Member: Bill Hays
ZillowVERIFIED Bill is the best. Buying and/or selling a home is stressful but Bill minimized that stress through upfront expectation setting, clear and frequent communication, and providing support every step of the way. We purchased a property in Sauk County while living in North Carolina. Bill not only provided an updated listing of available homes, but also insight on properties from his knowledge of the area. Bills experience and exceptional communication skills enabled him to manage a situation with our lender and the title company that would have delayed our closing by over a week. From start to Sold I felt like I was well taken care of. My next home sale or purchase will be with Bill Hays. I recommend him without reservation.
