We met Billy Pauling of Pauling Homes Team about five years ago when he knocked on our door on behalf of one of his clients wanting to live in our area. We weren’t ready to sell at the time, but we did contact Billy when we were ready to downsize to a smaller home. This time, his team was knocking on doors in an area we wanted to live. We used Billy Pauling and his team for both the sale of our home and purchasing our new home. We were more than pleased with everything Billy did to get top dollar for our home and also negotiate the best purchase price for our new home. He is an absolute magician when it comes to negotiating with other parties. He also goes the extra mile (and beyond) to make sure that his clients are happy and informed every step of the sale/purchase process. He also makes sure that the process is as stress-free as possible. Billy is a very likeable individual and is very honest with his clients about their expectations. We feel very lucky to have worked with Billy and Pauling Home Team.

I highly recommend Billy Pauling as a real estate agent. When I knew I was moving to MN and needed an agent, I was referred to Billy from a mutual friend. He made the entire process from start to finish, the most easy, stress free it could possibly be. He was honest, kind, hard working, informative, sincere and knowledgeable about everything in terms of searching for the best home for your needs. You could always reach out to him with questions and he would answer them swiftly and clearly. He would always find time to meet you to see homes and would send good recommendations based on your needs. You can tell he really likes his job and knows everything there is to know about the home buying process. I would use Billy for any future purchases I make and would recommend him highly to anyone in need of a home and wants a smart, caring and professional agent who is on their side.

We can’t say enough about Billy Pauling and Mike Taylor of Pauling Homes. They were able to sell our home in the dead of winter in two weeks. They also found our new home so that we could co-ordinate our closings. We were leaving our home of 45 years with all its memories so the transition was a little painful. But Billy and Mike made this experience so much better. We felt that they had our backs every step of the way. They were patient and understanding through the whole process. We highly recommend this amazing team

Our experience working with Billy and the Pauling Homes team was superb! They are not only experts at what they do, but also kind and patient. Billy was keenly attentive to our needs (now and in the future) and was persistent in helping us search until we found the house that felt like home. He used his real estate expertise to carefully vett every house we toured, and was quick to draw our attention to details (the good and the bad) that our less-expert eyes glossed over. The Pauling Homes team took incredible care of us from beginning to end!

Lisa Hauschild is amazing to work with and her team is awesome too! Lisa helped us buy our first home and she just helped us find our next home which is a dream and she sold our first home and made the whole process so easy for us! Lisa and her team went above and beyond in the service we received and we were very happy with how everything went. Lisa is so responsive often answering texts emails calls outside of business hours to ensure we were always taken care of and had great communication! Their team also adds thoughtful details such as providing pizza on moving day and personalized tumblers on closing day. I felt empowered as a seller and a buyer with this team on our side. We can't recommend this group enough especially Lisa!

We've used Billy to both buy and sell our home. He treated us like we were his only clients and actually cared that we were happy with our purchase. He took the time to explain anything that we weren't sure about during the process and didn't pressure us into any decisions. He is extremely knowledgeable about the entire Twin Cities Metro and found us the perfect neighborhood when we moved into the area. When we moved out of state for work and couldn't use Billy as our realtor, he still took the time to offer his advice and talk through our home purchase. I couldn't recommend Billy and his whole team more, you will not be disappointed!

We had already moved away but needed to sell a large home in Eden Prairie from across the country, when the market was starting to take a downward turn. Billy and his team were absolutely amazing to work with. They had clear marketing plans (great stager, photographer), set realistic expectations, and handled everything for us, from checking on heat to calling painters. I would highly recommend Pauling Homes to anyone who is looking to either buy or sell, because they're so great to work with.

Lisa at KW Pauling Homes is awesome to work with. This is the second time we have worked with her to buy a home, and this time she also helped us sell our home. The team was phenomenal in their support of getting the house ready for sale (it looked BEAUTIFUL!), marketing the property, communicating open houses and showings, and getting it sold in just three days. She also helped us view a ton of homes until we found the perfect one. Since the purchase she has continued to support us as we finalize all the details and transactions. A great realtor and team to work with.

I had a great experience working with real estate agent Mike Taylor to sell my house in a difficult market. He was professional, knowledgeable, and dedicated to getting the best possible price for my home. Despite the challenges of the market, Mike was able to showcase my home effectively and worked hard to find the right buyer. He was always available to answer my questions and address any concerns, and his expertise and negotiation skills were key to getting my house sold quickly and for a great price. Overall, I would highly recommend Mike to anyone looking to sell their home and am very grateful for his hard work and success in selling mine.

We were first time home buyers and had moved here from out of state. We found the Pauling Homes Team and reviews were promising so I called and was paired with realtor Mike Taylor. Mike was absolutely amazing to work with! He was very quick to respond to our emails and texts and was even able to schedule us a same day viewing for a house that just came on the market in a desirable area. While doing walk throughs at prospective houses he was very knowledgeable about what to look for and pointed out many pros and cons to the houses we looked at - a lot of things we would have missed because we've never done this before and it could be overwhelming at times. Any questions we had about a home Mike would reach out to the seller's realtor to get us answers right away. He was also happy to go back with us a second time to relook at houses we were interested in. As first time homebuyers Mike was amazing at walking us through every step of the process and keeping us well informed of everything. Mike also listened to what we were looking for in a house and the towns we were interested in and was great at sending us suggestions of new houses on the market that we might like. It was actually one of these suggestions that turned out to be our perfect home! The closing process went so smoothly and even after closing Mike is still there to support us as our journey continues. I would 100% recommend Mike Taylor and the Pauling Homes Team to anyone looking to buy a house - especially if you're a first time homeowner since everything went so smoothly the entire process and we really felt supported while searching for our perfect home!

We were able to look at homes quickly and when I was available, and Billy offered a lot of guidance on what to look for in buying a home. I appreciate the ease of knowing I could trust Billy and the team in this big purchase decision.

You won't find a better realtor than Billy Pauling. He is first and foremost honest. On top of that he is very good at what he does and saved me thousands of dollars as my buyer's realtor. He went above and beyond in all aspects of the sale to make sure that I was taken care of in every way. I can't say enough good things about him, truly a 5 star professional!

Billy and his team were super flexible and responsive with this crazy market we are currently in. He went way above and beyond. He gave us honest recommendations on what we needed to do based on our neighborhood to get the most value from the sale in the fairly short timeframe we had. We even had a buyer fall through (at least we got the earnest money), and he was right there to help us get it listed again that weekend. We ended up selling for even more than the original offer!

Lisa Hauschild and Mike Taylor are an incredible team who will work tirelessly to help you find your home! My husband and I relocated from Oregon for a job transfer. Initially, we had another realtor from a different company in the Twin Cities who did not communicate with us consistently leading up to our move, and after he went MIA for a week with no explanation, I decided to look for somebody else. I am so glad that we switched to Pauling Homes to get the job done in such challenging times. With minimal inventory, multiple bids, great rates and a Pandemic, we needed an aggressive R.E. Team! I found them here on Angie's List; believe the reviews and go with Pauling Homes.

I would highly recommend Lisa Hauschild from the Pauling Homes team with Keller Williams. She did an exceptional job and went far above and beyond her role to ensure I was happy and taken care of. Lisa was incredibly knowledgeable and responsive, and ensured every step of buying a home was as fluid and efficient as possible. The aspect I appreciated the most was she listened to what I wanted and then aggressively pursued finding that home for me. I had disappointing results with other realtors lasting ten months, and Lisa was able to find a home for me in two weeks. Her talent and professionalism outshined every realtor I’d previously worked with. She followed through even after move in to ensure I was happy with the experience and my home. After I moved in, one instance arose that she went and beyond to manage and provided exceptional support. I’d recommend Lisa to my family and best friends and hope to have the opportunity to work with her in the future.

OMG! I can’t say enough good things about Billy and his team! From our initial visit with Billy in our home through his follow up call, several days after the closing, to check on how our move went, Billy was there to support our process. He got top price for our home within a couple of weeks. He has an awesome stager who came over to help us get our home ready. His office staff were helpful and Billy was always prompt in responding to any questions or concerns we had along the way. My wife and I could not be happier with Pauling Homes Team. If you hire Billy as an agent, you will not be disappointed.

Excellent! KWR-Pauling Homes recommenced house repairs and upgrades to the house so that it would attract buyers. They orchestrated the repairs, upgrades and staging.
