Rob was Terrific to work with! Responded quickly to my messages. Great Communication throughout the whole process. From scheduling showings & appraisals to settlement date. The appraisal showed I had a few things that needed to be repaired, Rob suggested a good Contractor to use! Affordable and quick to schedule!

Selling the home of a loved one who has passed away can be a very emotional process, but The Payne Team took care of me from beginning to end. They made me feel like I was not just another client with a house to sell, but someone to earn their trust and develop a relationship that will last into the future. My realtor, Aaron, was always there with a quick reply and ready to research or explain anything I needed! To my surprise, one of the value-added services The Payne Team offers is their complimentary home staging. They did a fabulous job at transforming each room from my loved one’s living area into a neutral space to help buyers picture themselves in it. I honestly believe the staging helped us get such high interest and multiple offers in just a couple days! I will continue to tell others how amazing this team is! Thank you all!

Working with Cole was a fantastic experience. From our first meeting to closing day, he was consistently professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. He took the time to understand my needs and stayed in constant communication throughout the entire process.
What really stood out was his dedication—whether it was scheduling viewings around my availability, providing honest advice, or handling paperwork efficiently, Cole made sure everything went smoothly. I always felt like he had my best interests in mind.
Thanks to him I’m now living in my dream home and couldn’t be happier. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Cole to anyone in need of a reliable and trustworthy realtor.

Rob, with The Payne Team, was exceptional at the very least. We were first time homebuyers that had no clue what we were doing; we didn’t even really know what we wanted, to be honest. Rob was incredibly patient and positive the entire process, which ultimately took 7-8 months. Still in our lovely home 3 years later and grateful we made the right choice with Rob as our realtor.

I reached out to Cole when I wanted to sell my house in West Virginia, and asked if he knew any realtors in the area. He immediately set me up with an INCREDIBLE realtor and my house had 5 offers within two days of listing! Cole even continued to check in on the process and make sure everything was running smoothly. Cole is trustworthy, reliable and knowledgeable. Even if you are moving out of state, Cole is a valuable resource to reach out to with questions or suggestions for selling or buying a home! Thank you Cole!!

From the bottom of our hearts, Jim Cisar and I would like to express how appreciative we are for the quality experience we had in selling our home with Sharon Fisher-The Payne Team. From Start to Finish Sharon puts the needs of her client first.
Sharon went above and beyond with marketing strategies and her expert knowledge; along with the Payne Team (Angie) who staged our home so beautifully, with the attention to detail, in a tasteful style that showcased all of the qualities of the house to bring it to a premium level.
Sharon was always available no matter the time or day and made sure to get the answers needed throughout the entire selling process. She is one of the most diligent professionals I have ever worked with and kept us updated throughout the process whenever we had concerns and informed us of changes promptly.
The journey in selling our home was a great success because we had you by our side with your expertise and guidance.
Thank you for your hard work, patience and diligence over these last few months. We couldnt have done it without you.

Cole made buying my first home seamless. It was so easy and a very enjoyable experience. I work overseas so felt stress about the hassle of it all but he was very accommodating with getting things signed and understanding that I couldn't be there physically. He gave great feedback and there was a good sense of trust that I value. I would definitely go to him again.

Rob Payne was my realtor and he is the best. I just bought my 3rd house and he made the process so easy for me. This was the first time I had to sell my house and buy a new house. He put my house on the market and I got an offer within 24 hours. He put all my fears to bed when I was wondering if my house would sell so I could buy my dream house. As a single mom, I don't have a lot of help and he did everything for me, even refered me to some college kids to help me move! My cat sitter bailed on me so he let me bring him to settlement. Buying a house is stressful but Rob took all the stress off my shoulders so I could just concentrate on packing and moving. Thanks Rob! You're the best!

First time home buyer, Angela was the one who helped my family get into our beautiful home. We never felt overwhelmed, and we never wondered what the next steps would be because Angela had everything organized and written out and scheduled, and never did anything unless we were okay with it. It was such a wonderful first experience, and we can’t thank the Payne Team enough!

Prior to my retirement, I had spent my career in the real estate industry and was fortunate to be able to call many of the top REALTOR'S in this area both my coworkers and my friends, which made the reality that I could only choose just one to list my home very challenging for me. I spent my career training, supporting and assisting some of the very best, Angela and Rob Payne included. To be on the short list of the very best realtors, somethings are essential: being knowledgeable of the local area's real estate trends and real estate laws; to be detail oriented; to always answer a call or text as soon as you can; to be creative in your marketing and have an ongoing commitment to excellence. In choosing Angela Payne, and the Payne team, I was not disappointed. They were always supportive and helpful as we navigated the process, including helping me find resources to help prepare my home for the market. Their photographer did a wonderful job of capturing the home's magic and Angela answered my every call with patience and informed advice. She truly was with me every step of the way. I have to say I was a little surprised at how much the Real Estate Industry had changed in the short time since my retirement. It was very tempting to say, "I'll sell it myself", but even with the years I had under my belt in the industry, I know I made the right decision by having a REALTOR represent me during the sale of my home. I am so glad that this time it was Angela Payne.

Aaron Bergeron was amazing! He was patient with us as we looked at multiple houses to figure out exactly what we wanted. We had many questions and he answered all of them. He was very responsive even after business hours. He gave us several recommendations for different things such as mortgage companies and home inspectors. We highly recommend Aaron if you are looking for your home. In fact, we already recommended him to one of our friends and they are settling soon! Aaron, thank you so much for everything you did. You made the process easy and smooth!

As a loan officer, I’ve had the pleasure of working with Cole on multiple buyer and sell side transactions. I can confidently say he is a fantastic realtor. He truly cares about his clients best interest and is not just looking for a paycheck. He’s patient, attentive, and always goes the extra mile to make sure they feel informed and supported throughout the entire process. If you’re looking for an agent who puts his clients first and knows how to get the job (well) done, Cole is your guy!

Staged/Listed/Settled in 6 wks. Thank you!! We are impressed by your creativity & TEAM WORK selling our Waterfront Dream!!

Our family moved from out of state, Rob immediately made us feel at home. Completely different experience compared to any realtor we ever met.
We were no longer a paycheck to cash real quick, Rob made it clear we were important to him, and whatever we were looking for he would help us find.
He was knowledgeable, friendly, and a hard worker. The first weekend we met him when we drove down he showed us 12 homes over the weekend, and at the end of all the prepared listing's, he wanted us to know if we weren't in love with anything that he would continue sending listing's until we did.
He has remained in touch since we settled, and truly has left an imprint on our life.
Thank you Rob & the Payne team!

What a wonderful experience! In this crazy market, the team was able to navigate us through purchasing our first home. They were willing to answer any question we had no matter how big or small. From being an inexperienced buyer, they made the process a breeze with paying attention to detail and responding in a quick fashion. We have already recommended them to all family members who are interested in moving to the shore! After hearing so many horror stories from others about their home buying experience, we were truly grateful to have such a caring team. Cannot thank them enough for what they have done for our family!!

Where to start! First and foremost if you’re looking to sell or buy I would recommend Cole and his team 100x over. I can’t say there’s a better team.
We relocated from Alabama to Maryland and it was the smoothest transition. Most of the time the home buying process is a hassle, it’s stressful, well, not in this case. I have known Cole most of my life and he has always been passionate about what he’s doing whether that’s his military career, being a devoted husband/father, and now a realtor. Now he takes that same passion and ensures your home buying or selling experience is as easy and stress free as can be. Cole not only made sure all of our wants and needs were met but he stayed in touch even after our house was purchased.
I would say this, if you buy from Cole Gismondi you not only get a great experience in the home buying process, but you gain a friend who is in it for so much more than the money.
10/10 stars.

When you’re making huge decisions in life, you need people you can trust. Aaron Bergeron of the Payne Team is the real deal! If you have a chance find Aaron B and work with him. I guarantee you he will put you and your family in home that you’ll love. Aaron and his team are true professionals and are great with understanding and meeting the needs that you desire in a home. Whenever my wife and I needed assistance and had questions, Aaron was a reliable resource to turn to. Even now as a first-time homeowner, my wife and I maintain a great relationship with Aaron and the Payne team because they are just as kind as they are knowledgable.

Ryan is nothing short of a ROCKSTAR! He was very personable, easy to talk to, and put my family first! We never once felt rushed to buy a home that did not accommodate our family needs and kept going to showings until our needs were meet!! This is our first time purchasing a home and Ryan sure did make it a great experience. Thank you for everything!
