"This is the second time we used Thomas - first to purchase a property and then in the sale of that property. We thought Thomas was very knowledgeable. He gave us good feedback in areas of the home that needed more help and he also marketed the property very well!! He answered all our questions and was also able to help navigate us through a few bumps in the road during our sale. We would recommend him to anyone!"

"Thomas Payne is just the bees knees. Thomas was always on time, always communicated in a timely fashion, and I always believed he had our best interest at heart. We bought and sold our home through Thomas, and I would not have wanted to experience this process with anyone else. Thomas was great at explaining and teaching us the process of buying and selling a home. Thomas always kept us informed immediately with what was going on with our buy or sale of our home. Thomas' weekly video updates are absolutely phenomenal. Again, I cannot emphasize enough that Thomas is the best realtor I have ever met or dealt with. I would highly recommend Thomas Payne to everyone, and honestly if you are in the central Iowa area, Thomas Payne is the only realtor any one should ever use."

"Thomas did a great job helping us through the homebuying process for our first house. Buying your first home is stressful, and Thomas took the time to explain the process and ease all of our concerns. We had such a great experience with Thomas that we knew we wanted him to help us find our next home.
About a year and a half ago, we reached out to Thomas with a list of everything we wanted in our next home. Thomas definitely delivered! The house he found us is absolutely perfect. It has everything we wanted in our next home plus more!
Thomas was always quick to answer all of our phone calls and texts which we really appreciated! Even when we would call him at odd hours or on the weekends he would always pickup. That kind of customer service is really rare in today's world!
He is always courteous, professional and easy to talk too. We would 100% recommend him to all of our family and friends."

"If you are looking for a knowledgeable, friendly and helpful real estate agent to guide you through the home buying process, I recommend Thomas Payne. Thomas was very helpful to us especially when we were negotiating with the listing agent and sellers about price and repair of the property as a condition of purchase. He made himself available to us and promptly answered our questions via text, which worked well for us. Even when we ran into some unexpected difficulties at closing, he worked out a way to complete the transaction with minimal delay. My wife and I believe that you would enjoy working with Thomas Payne the next time you need the services of a competent and trustworthy real estate agent."

"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."

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.

"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.
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.
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!

"Our experience with Thomas and the staff at Centiry 21 was unbeatable!
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!

"We really enjoyed working with Thomas. He was there with us to every step of the way to guide us and answer every question. 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.
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."

"Thomas was prompt, friendly, helpful, and an all around great guy. He's someone I'd like to hang out with outside of buying a house, just for fun. He did the best job possible. I can't think of anything he needs to improve on.
I would recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat!"
