Bill Papaioannou

Bill and his team really went all out to help me sell my house and I got well above asking in less than a week! His team of professional stagers and photographers were a lot of fun to work with and helped to make a process that I thought would be stressful, a very enjoyable experience. In addition to that he had my back and front yard landscaped which hugely improved the curb appeal of my house and turned out to be an important selling point to the buyer’s. This was my first experience selling a home & I can’t stress enough how Bill’s experience and attention to detail in preparing my property for sale made all the difference. Highly recommended! - Aaron Deakin

Bill Papaioannou made selling my mom’s house easy and delivered a sale price well above what I was expecting. When my mom passed away, I needed to find a realtor in Hamilton who would work with me to sell my mom’s house in the Villages of Glancaster adult living community. The sale presented 2 notable challenges: it was an estate sale and I live in Montreal. I met with several agents from different brokerages, and I was really impressed by Bill’s experience and awards, as well as his marketing plans, and sales strategy for my mom’s house and decided to list the property with him. Bill also helped prepare the property for sale by arranging for the property to be landscaped (it was spring) and staged. By the time his photographer came to take pictures and videos (including a drone!) the place looked incredible. Bill worked with his team to create a stunning marketing package and virtual tour of the property, all set to music that my mom would have loved. By the time we were ready to list the property, the excitement was palpable. Using his vast network of contacts built over his decades of experience in Hamilton, Bill worked quickly to show the property to other agents in the Hamilton, Niagara, and Toronto areas and 10+ viewings were scheduled in a matter of hours. We received multiple offers after 2 days on the market and the house sold for $98K+ over asking!!! Throughout the negotiations, Bill was very professional and trustworthy. I have never sold a home before, and Bill was always available and ready to answer any questions I had. I was able to call him directly and always receive a prompt reply. It is clear that Bill values his clients. I would highly recommend Bill Papaioannou to anyone looking to sell (or buy) a home in Hamilton. Working with Bill was a fantastic experience from start to finish, and he made what could have been a very difficult and stressful time for me relatively easy and stress-free. If you need help buying or selling property in Hamilton, call Bill! You won’t be disappointed. - Taylor Dawson

Bill and his team did an outstanding job as our buying agent. Bill is very knowledgeable and well researched. With analysis of the comparables in the area, Bill was able to negotiate a more than fair price for us, even in this inflated, competitive market. Bringing a price down in this crazy market is unheard of and requires a skilled, experienced negotiater. Giving us the knowledge to make an informed decision on our offer was key to getting us our desired property. Bill was always available to answer calls. Bill and Greg are a fantastic team who worked for us day-and-night, negotiating and sending online paperwork efficiently and timely. I strongly recommend Bill and his team! - Lina Rupwate-Holden

Bill Papaioannou is by far the best real Estate Agent we have ever worked with! Bill & his team of professionals including a personal licensed assistant, contractor & stager are enthusiastic, hardworking, dedicated and energetic. Bill organized our renovations prior to the sale and was there regularly to make sure timelines were being followed. He made sure the staging was perfect & paid super attention to detail. Bill & his assistant Greg Rozakis were available anytime we had questions & provided constant support & feedback. Their knowledge of the Real Estate market is superb and Bill is an excellent, shrewd negotiator. He got us multiple offers and our investment property sold way over our asking price setting a new record price for a Duplex in our neighborhood. If anyone is in need of an agent, we would highly recommend Bill and his team of professionals. - Pauline Boulos

I have worked with Bill and Greg for many years as an active investor of real-estate, but I was really impressed with effort put in to sell my last multiplex in St. Catherine’s. Bill put together a great marketing package that attracted much interest, bringing in multiple offers. He structured the deal in such a unique way that allowed all parties involved to come out ahead. Buyer was happy and we got a price higher than expected. I would highly recommend Bill and Greg for purchasing or selling your home. They are both highly experienced, and work hard each and every time. - John Anastasakis

Having Bill as my realtor was an absolutely great experience! Right from the start, I could tell that he is a seasoned agent that has been working in real estate for a long time. From our first meeting, Bill wasted no time and got straight to business assessing the state of my home, and identifying key areas that needed work to bring the most value in preparation for the sale. Using his resources he put me in touch with the right people to complete the necessary work, and from there everything progressed quickly. All the while the work was being done on the house, Bill constantly kept me informed and updated on the status. I really appreciated his attention to detail and constant communication. Whenever I needed to, I could always get in touch with him. When it came time to put the house on the market, Bill and his team did a fantastic job at staging the house to make sure it looked its best, resulting in a quick sale that exceeded our expectations. I am very glad to have had the opportunity to have Bill as my realtor and would strongly recommend him to others. - Sasha Ginzburg

We set out hunting for a house in Hamilton amidst a huge demand for homes in Hamilton, rapid increase in selling prices, and strong competition among buyers. We were looking for someone who knew Hamilton and found Bill Papaioannou though online recommendation. Bill and his team promptly responded to our initial emails. Bill referred Greg Rozakis from his team to help us. We were unsure of the neighbourhoods and had little familiarity with the specifics of a house that need to be understood prior to buying one. Greg took time to show us listings and explained in detail about these nitty-gritties. He drew our attention towards the factors that contributed to the robustness apart from the décor and looks of any house. Within a month or so, we found our home in a good neighbourhood. Greg made himself available through phone calls, chats, and emails throughout the entire house-hunting. Bill provided consultations via Greg on several occasions. Thus, Bill and his team provided excellent support and insights in this extremely competitive market. We recommend them to anyone looking for a nest in Hamilton. - Dibyendu and Ashirbani

Where do I start. This was my first time selling a home. I was very skeptical & weary having my home previously listed with a Mega Team and another big name real estate agent with very little communication and results. With my initial conversation with Bill I could tell that he was different from all the other Real Estate agents I had dealt with. He made me feel completely comfortable and I knew he was very knowledgeable & well informed about the Real Estate market. He knew exactly how I could achieve my goals & what needed to be done to get the most money for my home. He had his team of professional contractors, cleaners and stager's transform my home in a timely manner and he was available 24-7 whenever I had questions or needed his advice. Given my unique personal situation he went well above what was necessary and needed to get my home ready for closing. He and his team packed up my home and organized shipping for my car, Rv and personal items out of the country for me. I found Bill to be extremely helpful, reliable, trustworthy and transparent throughout the whole process. As far as I am concerned he wrote the text book on customer service and how every customer should be treated . Bill I can't thank you enough for everything you did for me and wish you all the best! - Velvet Rose Andrews

Bill has always gone above and beyond to represent my interests as his client over the last 15 years. His virtual staging looks great and did a wonderful job of showcasing properties in a recent sale. He is an expert in multi-family residential rental properties and the complexities of selling and buying them. I highly recommend Bill. - Mano Anastasakis

Bill’s skill and experience led to an outstanding outcome on the sale of my home. Within one week, my house was sold and well beyond my expectations. I believe the sale set a new record price for the street. I did not hesitate to call upon Bill after he had served my family well for over 30 years, and once again, he didn’t disappoint. His approach is thoughtful, detailed, and fully supportive of his clients. He created remarkable interest & buzz for my home through his social media campaign on Instagram & Facebook that attracted multiple appointments from in and outside Hamilton for viewing the house including the individuals who purchased it. Bill continues to have my highest recommendation. - Janet Rush

Bill recently sold an investment property for me in Beamsville for 20% over our asking price. From the time we signed our agreement to sale of the house was under one week. Because of all this, he created quite a buzz in the neighbourhood once they learned of the record sale. I appreciate Bill's professionalism and his customer service. However, the real value he and his team brought to the table in this instance was his knowledge of the area market. He understood there was a lack of inventory at the time. He understood how to set up a competitive bidding process and he has been around long enough to know the reputation of realtors bringing in offers and to separate good offers from bad. Bill and his team did all of this through COVID showing great respect for our tenant and showing the house with as little disruption as possible. I would recommend Bill to anyone looking to buy or sell in the area. - Brad

We were very pleased by his professionalism: pre-preparation of our home, the staging, the photograph, a super virtual tour, and the way he negotiated the multiple offers to set a record price for our home. Bill was always there to answer or questions. On top of everything, after sale, he referred us  an experienced agent for a smooth relocation out of province .   - Marc Henri

Bill has sold more than one home for me and has also acted for some of my friends. You can always count on him to do an excellent job in both guidance and trust. He keeps both the seller and buyer mind with his professional attitude. He will continue to be my agent when I need him again. - Thomas, Hamilton

As a real estate investor for the last 2 decades I have met quite a number of realtors. There are a number of critical factors that can determine one's success when investing in real estate. In my opinion the most important factor is choosing the best possible real estate agent. Bill Papaioannou is certainly that agent. He has a high degree of integrity and honesty. He is extremely knowledgeable about the real estate market and the industry. Bill and his assistant Greg will take the necessary time to explain the intricate or finer details of the real estate purchase/selling process from start to finish. Furthermore their stellar marketing strategies utilize various social media platforms to showcase properties to a specific target market. Finally, whenever Bill Papaioannou has represented me he has always exceeded all of my expectations. As such I can say with implicit confidence that Bill is definitely the top agent and he has proven that many times over. - Maurice Collins

My first home purchase! I had first met Bill Papaioannou & his team in September 2015 as a young man looking for a co-op position for a business major. Bill humbly took me under his wing and began to share his extensive knowledge & experience in the Real Estate market in Hamilton & the GTA, Having witnessed first hand his work ethic & integrity I understood why he is one of the best in the Real Estate industry. To be mentored by him was a great benefit & honour to me personally. In September 2019, I finally had enough money for a down-payment on a home and asked for his assistance as a Realtor. Bill Papaioannou & his Buyer's Agent Greg Rozakis immediately drew the plan to find and execute my first property purchase hassle free. We were in a scorching hot market in the middle of winter, chasing house prices soon to be out of reach. They jumped into action, finding a great deal and negotiating a price below asking on a house that was perfect fit. Having Bill as my Realtor made my experience simple & stress free! I would highly recommend Bill Papaioannou & Greg Rozakis to anybody that is looking to buy and sell real estate. I am glad to have Bill in my Rolodex of professionals. - Dakota Matias

Bill is a good guy! We sure would recommend Bill for sale or purchase of a home. I know we made the right choice. With his knowledge and experience he got the job done. From the beginning Bill was honest and guided us through the process. He brought us multiple offers and we sold over asking. We are very happy with our choice and would not hesitate to use Bill again in the future. Thank you Bill. - Jan Derus

Having been a lawyer in Hamilton for almost 40 years I have dealt with many agents but there are only two or three that truly stand out and Bill is one of them. I trust him completely - Kirk McPherson

Bill is a dedicated agent that wrote the textbook on client service. As a first-time buyer in a new city, Bill walked me through the buying process and advised me on unfamiliar neighbourhoods. He was able to find the perfect house for me in my price range in less than a week, even in one of the most competitive and Real Estate markets. Because of his reputation in the industry, he was able to get me in to see the property quickly and avoided a multiple offer scenario. I would not have gotten the house if it weren’t for Bill. And when the deal was done, Bill doesn't disappear. He stays with his clients to ensure they have everything they need to get the best value out of their property. Bill has referred me to several skilled trades to help get my property in shape. Always responsive and approachable, his decades of experience in the Hamilton area is apparent. I will definitely use Bill when the time comes for me to sell and buy again. - Denise M.

We engaged Bill's team to help us buy our house in Hamilton this summer. His buyers' agent, Greg Rozakis, was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, and got us the house we were looking for. We were impressed with his honesty and knowledge of houses and neighbourhoods in the city. He never rushed us or pushed us to buy, and he even talked us out of houses that he thought we wouldn't like. We were delighted with the service, and would definitely recommend the RE/MAX escarpment team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in Hamilton. - David Hynes

Due to an urgent need to move myself and my two cats, (pets are very hard to find a rental for), I was searching on line to find a rental when I came across a listing of Bill Papaioannou's. I reached out to him for help in my search. He quickly assessed my needs and put me in the capable hands of his buyers agent Greg Rozakis. Greg came through for me in a very quick, efficient and professional manner. In just a few days I was able to secure, sign a condo lease and take possession within 2 weeks of the search beginning. With Bill and Greg's vast experience and knowledge of this super hot market they were able to shrewdly negotiate a rent below asking when rentals were disappearing within hours of listing. Everything went smoothly. I am extremely pleased with the service provided and would highly recommend Bill Papaioannou and Greg Rozakis as your agent! - BM

After a lifetime of great memories in our family home, it wasn't an easy decision to sell and move on. We had to find the right Broker to help us through this. Bill Papaioannou came highly recommended and exceeded all our expectations. He was knowledgeable about the market, responsive, honest and ethical. He utilized great negotiation skills for the quick sale of our home by attracting multiple buyers thus netting us a great price! Not only that, even during one of the most competitive & hot Real Estate markets Bill was still able manoeuvre through the maze of multiple offers and secure us an amazing deal on our dream Condo. It was obvious from the beginning and throughout our experience; he consistently put our best interests first. If you’re looking for a worry & stress free ultimate Real Estate experience call Bill today he won't disappoint! Thank you Bill - Adelina

As first-time homebuyers, my wife and I were really lucky to have found Greg, who is Bill Papaioannou's buyer agent. He is an incredibly helpful agent who's dedication and knowledge you can feel in every interaction. We knew nothing about the real estate market or the home purchase process and were certainly not prepared for how fast-moving it is, but thanks to Greg being a veteran he helped us through absolutely every step of the process and was always a phone call or a text away. When we needed other professionals, thanks to their contacts, he was able to refer to us a great lawyer and an expert accountant for very reasonable rates. We look forward to referring any friends and family to him when the time comes. During our purchase, the seller's agent Bill professionally handled the multiple offer presentation which gave everyone a fair chance to bring a viable offer to the table. - Saaduddin Rahimi

Bill gets the job done. He is honest, knowledgeable and highly experienced. This is my 3rd house with Bill and I would not work with anyone else.Our house sold in less than 10 days above asking price. His advice was solid and helped us get prepared for a quick sale. - Regina M Kulikowski

Bill was very helpful in selling the condo for the estate. I am amazed at the price that we achieved for a quick, as is, sale (a record high). Dealing with a sale in a city that you don’t live in is stressful and Bill made the process progress smoothly. The sale was completed within a week, after multiple offers. I would recommend Bill to anyone needing help with an estate sale. - Rosemary Sorfleet

We have no hesitation in recommending Bill for sale or purchase of a home. We definitely made the right choice. Bill proved to be knowledgeable, professional, diligent, thorough and an exceptional communicator. He works with integrity and we were confident that he would represent us effectively. As a vendor or purchaser, Bill earns the trust he deserves. He brought us a full price offer and set a record of sale for the street. On the second property, he was able to bring a close to full price offer on a tough sale in a short period of time. We are very happy with our choice and would not hesitate to enlist his services in the future. Thank you Bill. - Rino and Carina Genovese

Bill was excellent. He had a network that helped get my home ready for sale with little effort on my part. He had a great marketing plan that exceeded expectations. - Dan Smith

Bill sold our mothers home in June 2020. She had lived there almost 40 years. He advised us what should be fixed and what we should not spend money fixing. He is a skilled negotiator with a great technical partner behind him. Bill offers maximum exposure, and in our case, we had 85 showings in the week between listing and the offer presentation deadline. We were thrilled to find out we had 13 offers. We settled on a clean offer with no conditions, that was $110,000 over listing price- a record in this neighbourhood for an “unrenovated” home. Bill will exceed your expectations. We would definitely use his services again and highly recommend him. - Sandra Cronk

During these unprecedented times with Covid-19 I had procrastinated in making the decision to sell my beloved home. I did not have an Agent in mind so my son James recommended I talk to Bill. Bill had gotten him a great deal & beautiful house a couple of years previously. I met with Bill and was immediately impressed with his knowledge, 30 + years experience and total commitment in my best interests. The covid-19 pandemic certainly added to the stress of selling my home but Bill put my worries at bay. He had my home staged & listed in a matter of days. He handled everything in a very professional way with all Safety precautions & procedures in place that protected my health and of those wishing to view the property. Bill and his team were in contact with me every day with feedback & keeping me up to date. His attention to detail is second to none. You don't need the luck of the "Irish". You need Bill's wealth of knowledge & experience to safely & successfully sell your home! Thank you Bill, it was a pleasure doing business with you! Sláinte - John

It was a Birthday present from Bill. We were looking for a specific property, and Bill jumped on this one like a pitbull, never letting go until he had negotiated it at a price tens of thousands below market value. It was perfect. Newly renovated, close to buses and parks. A great neighbourhood. We were so happy with this deal that Bill was a natural choice to sell our investment property. Sold over asking in just days, during the pandemic shut down on top of it all. We have a standing invitation for Bill to come and join us for a traditional meal to celebrate. Thank you so much Bill - Freba

We used Bill for the purchase and sale of our properties. We Sold our home in just 6 days at over asking with multiple offers even during the pandemic while other similar homes in our neighbourhood remained un-sold. Bill kept his eye on the ball the whole time. Realizing the banks new policies with regard to the Covid crisis, he suggested the buyer look into their mortgage situation, thereby saving the sale. I guess that's what you can expect with Bill's 30+ years of experience, knowledge & savviness! We were over the moon on what a great deal he shrewdly negotiated for us on our purchase. To be honest we were quite scared with how this Covid-19 would affect both of our deals, but thanks to Bill's remarkable diligence and follow through he pulled everything together for us! He was always available, patient & friendly whenever we called. - Farid
