Thomas was fantastic for us choosing our first home. He worked with our schedules, kept in communication with us, was a joy to talk to, and genuinely cared about getting us a home to meet our needs. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy/sell!

I know Thomas personally and he has been a great source of advice about all things real estate. He was SUPER accommodating and easy to work with while my wife and I poured over dozens of houses that we wanted to look at. Thomas Payne's expert knowledge of the Des Moines metro area and local financing options helped us to get a beautiful new house for an absolutely great monthly payment!

I got to know Thomas through the Ankeny Young Professionals group. He was very personable, sharp, and worked hard at building a relationship with me before he ever knew I was in the market of selling a house. He helped us sell our house in just two weeks and for a good price. I highly recommend Thomas and would work with him again.

We were so Thankful to have Thomas as our realtor for the sale of our home again. This was such a smooth process. We reached out to Thomas letting him know we were thinking about listing our house and asked him what we could list it for. He presented a fair price for listing our home however we had to do some updates before we could list. He asked if he could let some of his coworkers know our home may be coming on the market to get some leads, which was fine with us. We got a call a couple days later that someone wanted to walk through our home. We never thought we would have only one person walk through, not have our home fully listed, and they buy our home. Thomas did a wonderful job! I've recommended him to my friends and family. He has worked with several and they all have been Happy with Thomas and Century 21.

I can't think there is a better real estate agent for a first time homebuyer than Thomas. Thomas' knowledge is matched only by his patience and thorough explanation of every step of the process. If you want a realtor that you'll end up wanting as your best friend, Thomas is your only option.

Thomas Payne was aware of what our goals were from a financial standpoint as well as what we wanted for our home. He was very knowledgeable about the area and very patient with us as we browsed homes. He also did a fantastic job of communicating with us, for homes that came on the market and even more so once we decided to purchase a home. We were a bit nervous about the whole process initially, but Thomas helped us through the entire process and put our minds at ease about everything. He was very punctual and provided a lot of guidance on the paperwork and deadlines for the home buying process. He also never hesitated to answer any questions that we had. I would highly recommend Thomas for anyone looking to purchase a home.

Thomas really listened to our needs, and was very helpful in assisting us to find a house that we love, and that best meets our needs. He helped us weigh all of the options, explained the process in a very detailed and thoughtful way, and is a great advocate. Thanks Thomas!

As a first time homebuyer, I had absolutely no clue what I was doing. Thomas made it so simple to understand and he was always reassuring me and helping me with things I did not understand. Thomas has been like a brother to me for several years and when it came to buying my home I can't think of anyone I could trust more. Also, the free pie after closing helps. ;)

My wife and I have dealt with Thomas Payne both in purchasing and selling homes.September 2018
He has always done an excellent job for us. Our last experience in buying was outstanding in that Thomas was dealing with life changing family situations yet still kept us updated on the transaction. Also, he made himself available for inspections, and questions and always responded in a timely manner. That kind of service is rare today especially under the circumstances.
Thank You Thomas!

Thomas was amazing with the selection and purchase of our home. This was the first time looking and buying a home and he helped us every step of the way. We knew nothing about what to do and how to go through the process and he was amazing with all of that. I like to understand in detail and plan ahead, and he was there answering any questions we threw at him!August 2018
Thomas is so invested in his clients and what they need. We could tell that he was out for the best fit for us! He cared about our family and our needs.

Thomas has taken the time to understand what we are looking for in investment properties. We frequently search zillow/craigslist etc for properties, but he has been finding solid purchases for us before the listings have made it to Zillow, et al. I like that he knows what we are looking for and keeps a close eye on the market for us. He responds right away to our inquiries on properties. He's a wonderful realtor and makes the buying/selling process easy and stress free.

He helped us find a great lot in an excellent location. He was with us every step of the way in the home building process and even came to all of our appointments to pick out our cabinets, flooring, etc. He definitely went above and beyond to make our home buying experience great! Thomas was easy to reach and always got back to us in a timely manner. We really enjoyed the process of building our home and Thomas helped to make it as stress free and easy/fun as possible.

Thomas provided excellent service regarding all aspects of the sale of this home. Based on extensive comps, he recommended a list price that was several thousand dollars above what I had anticipated. We then proceeded to accept an offer that was still well above my expected sale price in under a week!March 2018
Thomas was also very proactive in dealing with the inspection and documentation requirements leading up to closing. I had a seamless experience as a seller and was able to sell the home while doing little other than moving out!
I recommend Thomas wholeheartedly.

Thomas provided excellent service and clear communication about the sale process and what we should expect. Our house generated much more traffic in terms of page views and showings than peer houses we were tracking. Thomas provided excellent insight in the offer negotiation process and our sale price was much higher than initially expected.January 2018
I would highly recommend Thomas to anyone looking to sell a house in the Metro.

He was very accommodating with us and was always available by phone or text. I really enjoyed working with him and he was a great help walking us thru how to sell a house.December 2017
He sold my mom's property in 8 days and had 1 open house the first week it was listed. The quick sale allowed my mom to save money on Association fees and utilities.
He was very patient working with my 74 year old mother and I. He made it less stressful for me as a daughter trying to get my mom's property sold. I knew we were meant to work with him because his first name is the same as my father who passed away 4 years ago. I am sure that my dad had a hand in helping us choose Thomas!

He was a joy to work with and couldn't ask for a more understanding agent. I have worked with him prior to real estate and I was so happy to work with him through this process. I'm very proud of his success and thankful for all his help.

After we started the process to relocate to the Des Moines area from Burlington, IA we encountered many obstacles that were unavoidable. Thomas was a star through all of it. He was very patient and supportive. April 2017
We are currently in a home that meets our needs as a family perfectly. It is exactly what we wanted and we couldn't be more excited. I sincerely believe that, through the eight months it took us to find our new home and move in, we never stopped being a top priority for Thomas. He is friendly and always easy to get along with. My kids loved him!
I was most impressed with his professionalism. He was always prompt, always on top of things and always thinking ahead. We really appreciated the great insight and advice that he offered, as well. He improves the experience by giving great references that are equally great to work with.
Buying and selling a home can be very stressful. Thomas takes away so much of that stress with his great attitude and work ethic.

Being relatively new to the West Des Moines area - I was apprehensive about a realtor having my best interest as a priority. Thomas Payne was truly an answer to my prayers. He was very kind and helpful and truly took into consideration all of my hopes as well as concerns in selling my home. I was recently re-married and had moved out of the area. Thomas Payne went above and beyond to help me get the entire process accomplished seamlessly. He was even willing to meet contractors for me so that I did not have to travel 3 hours for work to be done. March 2017
Integrity is a big factor for me and Thomas Payne was nothing but a man of integrity in his words, actions and follow through. I cannot express enough gratitude to Thomas for making selling my home a great thing and not a sad hassle. Thank You Thomas and Century 21!
If you need a confident, professional, informed great person - Thomas Payne is your next Realtor!

Our experience with Thomas and the staff at Centiry 21 was unbeatable! February 2017
Thomas took time to find out our desires in a home - our must haves and our wants. He worked hard to find us a home in a tight market. He gave us a lot of his time as he viewed many homes with us as we looked for the perfect one. Thomas became a true friend and ally for us in this process.
He helped us write several offers on homes and he negotiated for us in every situation. He even saved us from a poor house decision with his skills in negotiating, his understanding of our hopes and dreams, and his understanding of other homes on the market.
Thomas was a great asset to us as we bought our first home. We will be looking for him when it's time to upgrade to our dream home!
The staff at Century 21 helped us as they kept us apprised of the process, they handled our paper work and financial matters in a discreet but prompt fashion.
We give Thomas Payne and Century 21 Sugnature Real Estate 2 thumbs up!!

He was very encouraging and accommodating through the ups and downs of finding our home, and with a little creativity was able to help find the perfect home when we least expected it. We look forward to working with Thomas again when it's time to upgrade from our starter home.

I can not even begin to explain how pleased we are with Thomas. He sold us this property a couple years ago and was awesome then so when we needed another home and to sell this one, it was not even a question of who to call. We knew he would do great with us again. He jumped right in to house hunting with us and took on our scenario with no hesitation. This process was going to be more responsibility since we were selling a house rather than only buying one. He was so organized reliable, trustworthy, timely, professional, and kept our best interest at hand in everything. He explained things well, met with us when needed, kept things convenient for us, respected our wishes and helped us have a stress free process as we sold our home and helped us find our next home that is perfect for us. We know he did so much work "behind the scenes." We also were able to sell our home in less than 48 hours because of his hard work and help!! We will absolutely be recommending Thomas to anyone we know who is needing a realtor, and will be calling him again if we decide to move again. He provided outstanding service and is very good at what he does. He also made the process pleasant and enjoyable for us and was so easy to communicate with and work with. It is important to have good communication and trust the realtor you are working with and We felt very comfortable and trusted him completely with this big change. We Highly recommend Thomas!!!

Thomas Payne excelled at customer service. Its rare today, especially in the real estate world when things have been very active. We had a number of agents that we met at open houses that expressed a desire to help find something that suited our needs yet none followed through.November 2016
Thomas contacted us several times with potential homes. Finally Thomas found one for us that he thought would be a good fit. And it was. It took a lot of time and effort on his part to keep looking for us.
Thomas was always easy to reach. Quick to return texts, calls and emails. We needed to get in the property a number of times and he was always very willing to work with our schedules.
All in all ,if you need an agent that you feel is putting you at the top of the list and not the bottom we would recommend Thomas. We have sold a property and purchased a property with his help and we refer our friends and family to him.
