"Bill was an absolute dream to work with during the search for our new home. If you are hoping to work with someone who is knowledgeable about the housing market, can help guide you to areas that would be a perfect fit for your family, and someone who truly cares about his clients... Look no further. We never felt rushed through our home search, and felt truly supported throughout the home buying process. We can’t thank Bill enough for his patience, guidance and kindness through this monumental milestone in our lives. We found our forever home."

"Bill helped me sell my mother's place that she had lived in for over 30 years. From the beginning, he made my mom feel very comfortable with the whole process - like he was selling his own mom's place!! He gave us lots of tips for getting the place ready mostly centered around de-cluttering the place. Once these changes were done, he made two more suggestions that would greatly increase the asking price - new counter top in the kitchen and new rugs in the bedrooms. We invested about $3,000 in these improvements which allowed us to list for about $10,000 more than had we not done them.

 

Finally, Bill really helped us stage her place to make it very visually appealing to prospective buyers. In the end, we sold my mom's place in a week and got our asking price! "


"Working with Bill Hoekstra via Keller Williams was a great experience, especially for the stress of being a first time home buyer. Bill was very thorough in the process from start to finish in the home buying experience. From step one, Bill did a superb job finding properties to tour that matched my cost range and the details in which I wanted to see in a home. Also, when the right property was found, Bill was a great asset in to have in keeping the information flow open during the negotiations with the Seller’s team. After the sale was finalized, Bill was even contacting to make sure that everything was going well with the new home, which I believe is the attention that you may not get with other realtors. 

For what could have been a very scary experience, Bill Hoekstra made the process pleasant. I would recommend him for both new homeowners and experienced homeowners alike."

"As first time home buyers, we were nervous about making such a big investment.  As we began our search, Bill did a terrific job alleviating our fears and zeroing on properties that matched our goals.   We fell in love with a home, that had just come on the market with a 24-hr notice before starting showings.  Knowing that this property would go quickly, Bill was able to convince the sellers and their agent to let us see the house that evening.  Less than 24 hours after the house had gone on the market, we had toured the property, submitted an offer, and bought our first home!  We would not be in our home today if it was not for Bill.  We cannot thank him enough for all of his hard work, and we highly recommend working with him.  His expertise and negotiating skills will benefit any future client."

"Bill Hoekstra is a good person and a great realtor.  Working as the agent services coordinator for a large local real estate office, I knew 200 agents, and I chose Bill.  He is so easy to talk to, he listens, he is professional, and he is fun!  I wanted someone who was not crazy, over the top and I wanted someone that all the top agents and teams in the office respected. Bill was that person.  We sold in the first weekend for list price, and he negotiated a great price on our purchase.  I would recommend and refer Bill to anyone. He’s the best!"

"Bill Hoekstra was wonderful to work with in the sale of our home.  When we were considering listing our house for sale, Bill took the time to do the research on homes in our neighborhood.  He then proceeded to take us to the homes in our area so we could see for ourselves what the current home values were, and to compare them to our own.  Bill is an honest and reliable man.  We would not hesitate to recommend Bill to our family and friends for he is simply the best realtor for the job!"


Richard and Donna Zwetzig


"As a Wheaton resident for more than 20 years, it was a big move for my wife and I to put our house on the market.  To make sure we made no mistakes, we went on a search for a realtor who we felt comfortable with and after interviewing several, chose Bill Hoekstra from KellerWilliams.  He was the right person for us and from our first meeting,  knew we had made the right choice.  Throughout the process, Bill became both our partner in the sale and also a good friend.  The kind of individual you are proud to know and work with.  Bill, many thanks!"  


"When working with a realtor I found it imperative that the person was someone I could trust, would work hard for me, and would not have too close of a relationship with other realtors in the area of obvious reasons.  Bill was professional, worked through several counters, and was intent on getting timely responses to keep the process moving. I would use bill when it comes to buying or selling a house the next time around." 


"Bill, thank you for everything!  You got us the largest sale amount for our unit, and I am very grateful!!  I would recommend you to anyone wanting a professional, smooth process."    


Donna Russell


"It was a NO brainer to go with Bill to sell our home.  He lives in the sub, and knows it better than anyone.  He offered us great advice to get the home ready for sale, which helped it sell quickly and at a great price.  We recommend Bill Hoekstra!"  


Jeff B.


"Bill truly knows his stuff.  He got us top dollar!  We can’t thank him enough.  If you want a professional who gets RESULTS then you want Bill.  We highly recommend him and will use him again."   


Bob B.


"We were very fortunate to have Bill represent us because without his expertise, negotiation skills, and ability to move our offer to the sellers first choice – we would not be living on Cheshire.  If you want an experience agent who gets the job done then call Bill.   Thank you again!" 


Kelly & Eric


"Wow!!  Bill we can’t thank you enough for getting us so much more money than we ever thought.  Going  through and getting our house ready for a year or so with improvements we knew needed to be made, and getting over $50,000 more than any comparisons was more than we expected.  Bill did a fabulous job with staging, photo’s, a drone video, all had our house move quickly, but his best was meeting with the appraiser and having him agree that our sale price was warranted.  We have referred Bill to everyone we know.  Bill you are simply the BEST!"  


Mike & Laura B.  


"Bill is part of our family now.  We had a very limited area near our Son in Naperville, and we looked at homes for almost 2 years.  He was patient and always very accommodating with our special needs.  He worked hard and always answered the phone.  He cared about finding the right home to fit our needs.  Always pleasant and a big smile."
