Bill is extremely knowledgeable about the Needham area and was invaluable in informing us about various aspects of the town. He was patient with us, respectful of our budget and wish list and never pushy. In dealing with the final offer process he made everything seamless and sent helpful reminders along the way. I would strongly recommend Bill to anyone.

I have known Bill Paulson as a parent in the local school system for years, and knew him to be a great, personable guy and a decent person, super organized and very involved with the community through both his job as an agent, but also through his local volunteering in a number of capacities. As we considered agents for our house sale, all of these qualities were very apparent. His sales record speaks for itself, and his thorough marketing plan was impressive. Bill is a great communicator, who also has a sense of humor - something that comes in very handy in a stressful situation like a house sale! The quickest selling time listed in your survey is "under two weeks". Bill actually sold our property in less than 48 hours, thus beating his 'old' 2017 record of 3 days! Also, Bill had a lot of good recommendations for service providers that we needed in connection with the move. Very helpful. We'd use him again, and have benefited from taking his agent recommendation in our current out-of-state home purchase.

He is professional, calm, friendly, extremely competent, very responsive, and a wonderful ally. I wish I could select more than 5 stars. I cannot recommend Bill highly enough. He represented my fiancée and me as home buyers. It was a long process because there was not much to choose from at the time we were looking. Agents I've worked with in the past have been eager for me to buy so they could make a quick commission, but not once did I get that impression from Bill. It was abundantly apparent that he wanted us to be happy with our purchase, and to be happy with the negotiated price. When we viewed properties, he pointed out causes for concern that we wouldn't have otherwise noticed or considered. We finally settled on a home, but inspection revealed serious issues (always get a pest inspection for an older home!). It was discouraging, but Bill was not phased and agreed whole-heartedly that it was right to move on. I know I am a difficult client because I get tense when lots of money is involved. Bill always respected even the craziest things I worried about, and gave patient and competent answers and advice, always with our best interests in mind. When we FINALLY found the home we eventually bought, Bill negotiated harder than we otherwise would have. I'm not comfortable with negotiation. Bill seemed clued into that. Of his own volition, he got the seller to agree to install a beautiful new fence around the perimeter of the yard (the old one was pretty much gone), and he also negotiated the price of the home down lower than we otherwise would have. He saved us a great deal of money.

He l could not have been more diligent and on top of things as he helped us price our home so that it sold in one day for over the asking price. He also helped us find the ideal condo that meets all of our needs in Newton. Bill is a very capable and competent broker, a kind and considerate person, and particularly delightful to work with. During the process, he was always available had many helpful links, suggestions, and tips to help with the move.
