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!

You can't miss with Bill Hays!

Bill is absolutely amazing at what he does. He has helped us buy/sell several times over the years and is extremely knowledgeable, helpful, patient, and informative. Buying and selling in the same day is no easy task... unless Bill is your realtor. Bill is a true expert at what he does. If we could give more than 5 stars we would.

We finally found our perfect home.

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.

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!

Bill Hays is the best...not only found us our dream property, but continued to be an asset to us long after the ink was dry on our closing. Willing and able with property advice, contacts he referred us to, and legal situations he had experience with. Has since become a family friend and we'll use no one else.
Lori Coaty
Bill was referred to me my Remax agent in my hometown, which I needed to move back to due to my husband's passing. He was very helpful and understanding regarding my situation. He offered suggestions for pricing, but knew I needed to get the most that I could & that I had to coordinate selling & moving very insync to make it work. He was always there to answer questions, always called ya back, etc.
I would diffinately use him if I would ever move back there. Thnx Bill
Brittney Boone
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 Bill’s guidance and advice. Thank you, Bill!
Melissa Young
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. 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.
Patti Haselwander
We first contacted Bill Hays a few years ago and listed our duplex/condos in Baraboo with him. That property had been listed elsewhere in the past and Bill found buyers for both sides. Last fall we had him list our rural Sauk City home of 18 years. We had multiple offers right away with some over asking price. We had a slight hiccup but Bill got the job done. We were able to buy the lot we wanted and are currently building a house in Sauk City. I would highly recommend Bill Hays for all your real estate needs big or small.
LEE KESSENICH
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 efforts. 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.)
He did an excellent job selling our property. We would highly recommend him!

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.
Lourdes Pina
We worked with Bill. He was very responsive, personable and knew the area very well. He even provided us with a list of contacts for a variety of needs that we have for our newly purchased condo. We would definitely go with him in the future if we buy property again.
Mark McCarthy
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.

Bill is AMAZING! This was our second transaction with him, and if we ever decide to move again we will 100% use him again. Very responsive, down to earth, and dealt with everything thrown at him. Our sale and purchase proved difficult at times, Bill made everything work and we could not be happier in our new home

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 appreciated his honesty and advice throughout the whole process and he is the reason we were able to get our dream home. We can’t thank him enough for his patience and sticking it out with us till the end!
Tom Vlodek
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 don’t 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.
Rhonda Orozco
Bill is wonderful to work with, he is smart, strategic, and highly knowledgable. We trusted his insight, instincts, and judgement and it paid off! Highly recommend!
Christine Singer
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.

Bill sold my Mom's home 2 years ago in a slightly challenging situation. Bill was the most knowledgeable and professional realtor I've ever dealt with. He made the entire transaction seamless. Truly a wonderful person. 10 stars!!!

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!
Cindy Doescher
Whether you are selling or buying Bill will make the process seamless for you. He is professional and knowledgeable and makes you feel very confident in one of the biggest decisions of your lives. I would recommend him in a heartbeat not only for the great job he does but for his ability to make you feel you are his only client because of his personal attention.

Ashley Siegler
Bill helped us buy and sell our first home, and is helping us find our next home. He is incredibly knowledgeable of the area and the market. He was very responsive and answered all of our many questions. I have sent a few friends to him, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to everyone!

Bill did an excellent job for us, both in helping us buy our new home and the sale of our former home. He is very knowledgeable about real estate in Baraboo and the process of buying and selling a home. He was always ready to answer any questions that we had and help us work through the process. We wouldn't hesitate to work with Bill again.
Cydney Selje
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.
Kim Bockenhauer
Bill is an amazing realtor. He has unbelievable communication skills, and he goes above and beyond what most realtors duties require. Bill walks you through the process and makes the job of buying and selling not so monumental. I would recommend him to anyone who is thinking about making changes in their living arrangements.
Dave Lyons
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. Bill’s 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.
Jessica Thompson
My husband and I worked with Bill Hays when looking to purchase our first home. He was highly recommended by our friends. Our experience with Bill was great. He is very professional and answered all of our questions promptly and thoroughly. He has excellent follow though when responding to emails/calls and he worked around our busy schedules. Bill knows the area and market well, which was valuable since we were not familiar at all. I appreciated how patient he was with all of our redundant questions and concerns. I never once felt any pressure to make a decision and I do believe he works in the best interest of his clients. At the time, we were planning a wedding and working full time. Bill made the whole process of buying a home as stress free as it could be! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to another and would definitely work with him again in the future.
