I have referred Don to numerous people. He was prompt, responsive and personable. He listened to our wants and needs, paid attention to our parameters, and we found a home that we love!

I highly recommend Donald Payne!! Donald is an honest professional agent who works hard to insure you'll find the home that is perfect for you. I had lost several homes I wanted to buy when working with another agent and finally realized that person was not a good fit; I needed someone that understood this market was hot and would do everything possible to make certain I could be competitive with other buyers. Donald knows all of Columbus and the surrounding areas extremely well and would truthfully answer my questions re the areas/homes even if that meant he wouldn't get a chance for a sale. The home that I bought, and love, had 5 bids the day it went on the market; that was a Sunday of all days and Donald still kindly stepped up even though that was his special family church time! My offer wasn't the highest but Donald made certain it would be vey attractive to the Sellers regardless! Obviously I was overjoyed that I got my home and to this day Donald is still very helpful, and never makes me feel like I am bothering him, to recommend, say an electrician or whatever! He's simply a kind professional easy going gentleman who is a pleasure to work with!!!
