Bill Papaioannou

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

I would recommend Bill and use his services again. He was very knowledgeable and professional. He sold my home quickly during a pandemic. He made this experience enjoyable. Thanks for all your help, Bill. Great job. - Linda Nucifora

We met Bill eight years ago when we first moved to Hamilton from Toronto and were looking for a home. We were immediately captivated by the character and uniqueness of Hamilton. At that time, we were working with another reputable agent. Bill’s passion for representing his clients along with his remarkable ability to read people stood out to us. So, when the time came for us to sell our house, Bill immediately came to mind. We interviewed a few realtors, before making our decision of who to list with and once again Bill won us over. He had great ideas for getting the house ready for sale and brought in a fantastic team of people to help. We listed the house just as news of COVID-19 in Canada emerged. With a two year old son and having already purchased our new home – you can imagine we had a number of concerns. Throughout the process, Bill kept us informed and worked closely with the other agents to ensure everyone was kept safe and healthy. Incredibly, considering the circumstances we are all under, our house sold in six days close to our asking price with two offers. Bill and his team’s exceptional social media campaign was innovative, creative and on point for selling our home during unprecedented times. Bill’s charm and savvy real estate experience really showed throughout the whole process. Our family would unquestionably recommend Bill and his team if you are looking for a highly skilled and professional realtor. We are looking forward to celebrating with a shot of ouzo and breaking some dishes with Bill in the future! - Vanessa Hunter

Bill is a very professional agent. He is quick to respond to all questions. He has a great deal of knowledge of the market. He worked hard to negotiate a deal with a very successful outcome during a very slow time in the market. Bill is personable and wants the best for his customers. - AS

This is the third time that I have used Bill, once for buying and twice for selling, all 3 times he has been excellent, could not ask for anything more. Great advise for work that was required for a fast sale , staging was beautifull. The service has been fantastic, fast responce and allways available when I called. Sold the last home within 2 days of list ! Thanks Bill, I will recommend you to anyone that is in need of an agent ! - Dave Kronemeyer

Even during a very slow market (my neighbour required at least three different realtors to sell his house, over the course of several months), Bill managed to sell our home within a week, with multiple offers. We also received a substantial increase in the sale price, definitely alot more than what we were expecting. From the listing of the house, to the staging, Bill oversaw the entire process of putting our house up for sale. His expertise allowed for us to focus on the necessary repairs prior to showing the home, that yielded us the best return possible. His efforts are greatly appreciated. Moreover, he always had direct contact with us, and gave us sound advice. This kind of direct service it what is lacking with the larger group realtors, who focus more on a percieved appearance, as opposed to getting the job done in an efficient manner. We would definitely ask Bill to assist us with any future home purchase/sale, because he is a true professional in his field. Thank you Bill! - Stavros and Ourania

Bill was absolutely fantastic. He helped us buy our first house, 15 years ago, and we wanted him to be our agent this time, too. He was very responsive and supportive when we purchased our new house and he knocked it out of the park selling our current home. We sold over asking in just 2 days! We couldn’t be happier. - Kim Kippen and Randy Watson

We were so lucky to have found Greg to help us buy our first home three years ago as he went above and beyond. We knew who to call when we decided to move back overseas and needed to sell our house fast. Together as a team Bill and Greg were amazing to work with. They gave us great advice and arranged an amazing stager to help us transform our home for sale. It was due to their knowledge of the market, advice and attention to detail that we had multiple offers presented in just 3 days! We sold for over asking, while other similar homes in our neighbourhood have remained un-sold for several months. We highly recommend Bill and Greg for their professional services if you are looking for a stress-free and smooth buying and selling experience. - John Paul Wallace

Bill was amazing always on top of things.Bill was able to get our home sold in a timely manner and was always available to answer our questions and offer valuable advice that saved us money. I will highly recommend Bill to all my friends and family. - Mary Benevides

Bill is an excellent realtor who cares for his clients, and also looks after their best interests throughout the purchasing process. I found him to be very efficient in closing the deal, and getting us the best value for our dollar. I definitely would recommend hm as an excellent realtor, who's contacts, process, advertising, matrix website and proven methods allow for an exceptionally rendered service. His assistant Greg, is also a very knowledgable asset, and a pleasure to work with. He too was influential in the closing of the purchase. They are definitely a great real estate team with alot of professional prowess. - Rae
