About Steve Payne

Hi, I'm Steve! Once upon a time I took a road trip down the east coast and ended up in Raleigh. I fell in love with the area, the weather, and the people and knew I'd found home. I purchased my first home shortly thereafter and started getting my hands dirty in real estate (literally) with renovations. I later purchased an investment property and received my MBA, which inspired me to turn real estate into my full time business. When I'm not with clients you'll find me grabbing a beer at the newest local brewery, searching for the next hidden gem restaurant, mingling at Cars and Coffee events, or exploring trails with my wife and our two dogs. If you are feeling nervous about relocating or purchasing your first home, searching for that diamond in the rough, or just looking for a great new local spot to try, I'm your guy!

If youre a first time homebuyer (or honestly any homebuyer) and youre considering working with Steve, definitely do it! He was so kind, thorough, and helpful throughout the entire home buying process. Not only were my husband and I first time buyers but we were also buying from out of state (NJ) which made things even more intimidating. The process with him was honestly so smooth and easy. No matter what questions we had he always answered and provided his expertise in every area. We closed on our house in Raleigh today with him and can truly say it was an absolute pleasure to work with him and we would 1000% recommend him to anyone looking to buy a house! Thank you Steve!!

I can't recommend Steve highly enough. This was my first time buying a home, and I needed some handholding and someone to guide me through the process. Steve was excellent in both facets and was extremely helpful throughout the entire six months it took to go from initial walkthroughs to keys in hand. He was very professional and courteous, and I have already recommended him to family and friends. He will be my real estate guy for as long as he is doing it.

In an industry that does not always leave good impressions, if you are looking for a good human and also an amazing realtor, look no further than Steve. My family and I were trying to relocate from Texas to Raleigh and I happened to stumble upon Steve. I spoke to him a few times while also interviewing other realtors, and frankly, he was so above and beyond them it was never really a question. Steve set us up quickly in an online portal to be able to look at properties and answered any and all of my questions in depth. Steve is not only one of the talented realtors I have had the pleasure of talking to but one of the best professionals, period. He cares about his clients and the relationship he is building and is not looking for a quick commission. There were multiple properties he could have pushed on us that honestly fit most of our needs but he wanted to find the right home for us, even if that meant continuing to look for months. Steve responds to any communications quickly, is ready to visit a property that may fit your needs, and just has an amazing demeanor and personality. My story ends with us not being able to relocate to Raleigh due to other life circumstances getting in the way and one of the biggest disappointments in that was not being able to continue to work with Steve. If our path takes us back to a home in Raleigh, Steve will be the first person I reach out to.

Steve is a knowledgeable, kind, trustworthy, thoughtful, hardworking human being. From the moment we spoke with him, he went above and beyond to make sure we found the home for us. We were out of state buyers, so he supported us by sending photos and videos of each home he toured. When we found our home, he went to bat for us by making sure that we were getting everything that was stated on paper. After closing, he sent us a shipment with our keys and some very welcoming gifts. We felt so valued as clients and as human beings. We will definitely be using Steve again and recommending him to everyone we know! Thank you Steve!

When I set out to buy my first home I knew I needed a seasoned professional to help me navigate the market and home buying process. Steve took the time to understand my needs and wants in finding my first home. He also helped me understand the market and the real value of the properties I was interested in. I am extremely grateful for the time he took in searching, meeting, and countless emails/phone calls to figure out the right property, listening to my evolving list as I too learned more about the process. Lastly, Steve continuously went above and beyond during the process to help me make the most informed decisions. Steve was as much a real-estate agent as he was a coach and strategist. Thank you, from one grateful homeowner.
