Working with The Payne Team was a delight. On our first trip up to Sullivan County Killian showed us the house of our dreams. The Payne Team knows the Catskills and all the hidden gems within. From navigating the offer to providing incredible referrals to being a partner through every step and stage of the process, we were thoroughly impressed with the friendly, prompt and professional service. Killian was with us through closing and beyond -- we now consider him a valuable professional partner and friend. The Payne Team is the first call we'll make for future real estate needs.

I am so happy to have chosen the Payne Team to sell my home. Dawn has been with me every step of the way from getting ready for listing to the final closing. She was always pleasant, helpful, and efficient. Her many contacts brought frequent potential buyers. She made the difficult task of selling my home, a pleasant experience. Thank you for everything!!

Five years ago we were moving to the Catskills and Happened upon Dawn Paynes listing. She arranged to show us the property in short notice that same afternoon, and showed us several other amazing properties as well... one of which we purchased. As we were preparing to move south this year, there was only one person we thought to call ! We listed our home for sale with the Payne Team and they worked tirelessly to help us prepare to list our home, to market it and show it. It resulted in a smooth, profitable sale of our home. Dawn and her team went above and beyond to show and sell our home! Ty

Dawn was an incredible realtor who showed us any house we asked to see knowing before hand if we were going to love it or hate it. She knew exactly what are were looking for from our first meeting and because of that she found us our dream home! She was patient with us and always took her time to answer any questions we had (as first time home buyers we had a TON of questions). She made us feel like her only clients and always worked around our work schedule to show us potential houses. We would recommend her without hesitation and know that she can find anyone their dream home!
