“There is no better team to work with when wanting to find your dream home than the Payne Team! They made the entire process enjoyable, with the least amount of stress! This was literally one of the best experiences of our lives as new homeowners and we owe everything and every bit of happiness to the Payne Team.
”

“Dawn and Bill were great from day 1. They came to the house and I walked them through. They made me feel very comfortable with their knowledge of the market and the area. The whole process was very seamless. We were constantly in contact and always communicating. Such a great team to partner with. Would definitely use Dawn and Bill again. I recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Very thankful for their service. ”

“Bill and Dawn Payne are The greatest and most experienced real estate folks I have ever met. They helped my wife and I find our dream home and walked us through the process of making it ours. Bill and Dawn are the most optimistic and positive people on the plant. WHEN BUYING A HOME GO WITH THE BEST!!!!! BILL AND DAWN PAYNE!!!

”

“Dawn is knowledgable and helpful throughout the whole process and beyond. Very responsive and flexible to your needs. She definitely goes the extra mile to make sure that your process is less stressful. Highly recommended! ”

“My family and I have been looking for a country home in the Delaware River Valley for over 10 years. Although my wife and daughter also loved the area, the differences in preferences were insurmountable.
We met Bill and Dawn during a weekend rental on Lake Devenoge. Socially each member of my family described our dream house to them; not expecting it could be possible to meet such a broad range of differences. Around 18 months later, May 2015, I got a call from Bill suggesting that I come to Pond Eddy to look at a home that had just come on the market. He thought it met all the requirements, dicribed by three very different people.
We now owen this country home and could not be happier.
Something about Dawn and Bill, because they are a single mind, not only listens to every word said, they reach into the subconscious of different individuals and piece together a single dream house. Then, they search for it, in the desired area.
They are a Blessed couple and so are the people they serve, both buyers and sellers; everyone feels happy about the transaction. Totally impressed ”

“I have had the pleasure of working with both Dawn and Bill, to both buy and sell a property. I have not met two more dedicated sales professionals in my life. They are responsive and dedicated to their craft and I would highly recommend working with them should you have the opportunity.

“I am a first time home buyer. I was a little scared and nervous about buying a house. I feel fortunate that I had the opportunity to have Jean as my Real Estate agent. She helped me tremendously and guided me in understanding the process of buying a home and walked me through the whole process with such ease. What I really appreciate about Jean is her no-nonsense approach to dealing with business. Also, she is VERY PUNCTUAL when it comes to meetings, she is always at least 15 minutes early! Coming from a military background, punctuality is a must. Jean knows exactly the value of her customers time, which is very rare to find. She is probably the most reliable and most professional as any Real Estate agent can get! Along with her utmost professionalism, she has a wonderful bright personality and a very positive attitude. You feel like you are working with a very close friend that really cares about what’s the best for you. Because of her efficiency and constant follow up with all people involved; the sellers, lawyers, loan officers, inspectors, and other necessary steps, I was able to close in less than two months! She did all the work for me! Thanks a million Jean!!
”

“Hands down best experience ever!! Jean is truly one of a kind. Buying our first home seemed so effortless as she worked round the clock to make sure our dreams turned into reality. We can’t thank her enough for all she’s done!
”

“I had a FANTASTIC experience with Jean. She was incredibly patient with me, as I was looking for a very particular, older home, and needed a bit of exploring before finding just the right one. I had used other brokers in the past who simply didn’t get what I was after but she knew immediately and didn’t waste time with properties she knew weren’t right. She was incredibly knowledgable about all the towns and neighborhoods in Ulster, Orange, Duchess, Sullivan and other surrounding counties. She also knew immediately when a place was a no-go, and I always knew she had my best interest at heart. When it came time to negotiate, she completely had my back and I am forever grateful to her for giving me my beautiful home!
”

“Dawn was my agent for the purchase of a home and I’m so glad I found her. She was incredibly easy going yet knowledgeable of the area and found the perfect place for my budget.
Not only that - my experience with some agents has been that once the house closes, they drop you like a hot potatoe. Dawn, on the other hand, has been incredibly helpful and a great resource for contractors, painters and other people in the area that can help me spruce up my house before I move in. She has been a real treasure. I would recommend her for anyone looking in the area.”

“Dawn and Bill have been amazing! From the moment we met them we were in love, not only with the house but with them as well. Dawn helped facilitate the sale of the house. She held our hands throughout the process, even when things seemed to hit bumps and derail. Dawn was patient, always answered our calls and reassured us. We could not have asked for more!
Thanks Dawn, and thanks Bill behind the scene. We know you were there right with us.”

“I’ll never really be able to thank Dawn and Bill enough for there help in finding our house. We searched for years, and had worked worked with a few different realtors previously. No one seemed to get our vision, and they probably had concluded we were impossible to please. Dawn and Bill listed carefully to what we wanted, and with in a few months, found is the perfect house- after years and years of looking. It still feels like a dream, and I feel so lucky and blessed to have met them. Aside from being incredible at what they do, they are genuinely some of the nicest, most sincere people you will ever meet. I’m not a person who does reviews often, but these two so deserve it. I could not be happier with our experience, and I recommend them to anyone looking in the area.
”

“We just closed on our dream home today after such a long and stressful search, thanks to the payne team. They went the extra mile in every way. I couldn’t have asked for better agents all around. I highly recommend them for any of your real estate needs, you’d be lucky to have them! Thanks again Dawn and Bill Payne for all of your hard work and effort, you guys around really truely amazing!
Love, Tina and Jason”

“We highly recommend the Payne Team for your real estate needs. Dawn assisted us with our home sale in Glen Spey, NY. The transaction went through without a hitch. In addition, she is currently assisting us with a real estate purchase. Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. I can’t say enough about this real estate team. Thank you Dawn!!!”

“Hi Bill!
Hope you and your family are doing well!
Thanks for the update. What’s not to love about the property ?!! J It’s truly a magical oasis they created. Quite frankly, they should get what they want, even double or triple the asking price. It’s such an enchanting, unique, and inviting home. Everyone we share the link with, is amazed by it charm. Your drone shots truly capture the essence of the property. Upon meeting you that day and touring the house, David & I, had a visceral feeling, envisioning making a lifetime of family memories there. ”

“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!”

“Dawn and Bill are a Great Team! They found us the most Beautiful House with the most Gorgeous property five years ago! We had been looking and looking for years and we could never find the right house! We love this place and are so happy here!

“We had the best experience with Dawn and Bill. Very responsible, great negotiators, always available. Were always there with any questions. Real happy with experience. Knowledgeable, Professional, polite and really good people. Would highly recommend their agency.”

“Dawn Payne was the selling agent for a home I bought in Glen Spey 2 years ago. I had my own real estate agent but Dawn helped me SO much that I felt like she was MY agent! As a first time home buyer, I had a lot to learn. I am sure I was a bit of a pest. But Dawn was always patient and made me feel welcome to ask any questions. She was available and quick to respond with answers and solutions. I could tell she was working hard to make everything go as smoothly as possible. Dawn knows her real estate stuff, but more than that, she is a friendly and positive person, who clearly enjoys helping people find the right home (and/or sell it when the time comes). She helped negotiate things with the sellers and helped me with various local inspectors and contractors related to work on the house. Her local knowledge is invaluable and she continues to be a great resource. The home I bought is a legal two-family and I fixed up the second unit as a rental. When it came time to find a tenant I consulted with her on a lot of the things and I feel like I could not have done it without her! She went over and above in so many different ways. Dawn Payne is a trustworthy and dedicated real estate agent and if you work with her you will be in very good hands. Highly Recommend! She also has so much energy and drive, I don’t know how she does it. Thanks a lot Dawn!!”

“I had another agent prior to Jean kelly. I spent that whole summer of 2017 looking for a home it became exhausting and depressing after seeing almost 100 houses. We decided to give house hunting a break at the end of the summer. In March 2018 I was selling my house I asked my agent if she could recommend an agent in upsate NY. She did that agent was Jean Kelly! Jean contacted me immediately and set viewing of 7 houses that weekend. As soon as I met Jean I felt a good vibe about her. She was very professional, friendly and I felt very comfortable with her, most important she listened to what we wanted in a house. Well to make a long story short out of 7 house we saw on that first and only yes only day! We absolutely loved 4 of the houses but of course we had to narrow it down so we did. Boy we can’t be happier with our home! Jean was with us throughout the whole process and we closed on our house April 2018.
THANK YOU JEAN YOU ARE AMAZING! ”

She responds to my texts so quickly, worked diligently with providing listings and setting up showings, and is beyond wonderful, especially with answering any and all questions I have! Her bright and friendly personality kept me positive throughout this journey of finding our perfect home. In the beginning of this process, I was nervous and had a lot of anxiety because I didn’t even know where to start.

Awesome person to work with!
I dreaded having to find a house during this market but Patti made it so simple. She was in tune with what I wanted because she actually listened to what I said rather then try to sell something I didn’t want. She definitely had patience with me through this process and I’m grateful for that. Her knowledge of the area and some of the local history was also helpful to make an informed decision on buying. As a matter of fact, I need to acknowledge that the Payne Real Estate Team was fantastic in supporting Patti while helping me. They are top notch in their professionalism and all things real estate. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone!”
