Success Stories

John Payne was very accommodating. His knowledge of the Charleston real estate market is so impressive! We would highly recommend John and Handsome Properties to anyone looking to purchase or sell in this area.

Success Stories

I don't think there are enough positive things to say about John. If you've begun looking for a home (especially if it's your first home), you know how daunting the task can be. In our case, we were first-time home buyers, had a unique list of "musts", and were overwhelmed to say the least. I stumbled into Lois Lane because they had a house listed that we were interested in. From the moment we sat down a...

Success Stories

John Payne was the very first person that I met when I made the decision to move to Charleston from Brooklyn, NY. My introduction to John was my first impression of Charleston and Charlestonians. What a wonderful impression he made. John is courteous, friendly, sincere, diligent and hard working. He helped me find the home I currently have, even when I had to walk away at first because the seller was not...

Success Stories

John was very knowledgeable and made the home-buying process easy. As a first time buying I had several questions and he was prompt in a response. I would recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.

— John H.

Success Stories

John Payne has helped us to sell two homes and to buy two homes in Charleston. His knowledge of the Charleston market is unparalleled, and he has vast experience in negotiating on behalf of his clients.

Success Stories

Debbie, I appreciate, and so does my buyer, your knowledge and how professional you were. Very refreshing, as our experience with realtors here in this town has been very disappointing.

— Buyer | Seller

Success Stories

As a first-time home buyer, I didn’t know much about the home-buying process. Riley made everything easier (and less stressful) than I had expected it to be. She was very knowledgeable and explained each step of the process in a way that really helped me to understand. I will definitely be using Riley and Handsome Properties again for any future real estate transactions.

— Matthew T.

Success Stories

John Payne is a fantastic agent with a wealth of knowledge of the real estate market. He helped my wife and I find out first house in Charleston and then three years later helped us sell our house in just three days. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking in the Charleston and surrounding areas.

— Matthew V.

Success Stories

We had a very small window to find a very specific type of home in historic Charleston, SC. Because of the breadth of his local knowledge and seemingly endless list of contacts, John Payne was able to provide us several options (most of which would never have come to our attention without him) that were directly on point with our needs. John remained keenly aware of our timeline and always drove the sear...

Success Stories

Hayley Murphy was our realtor during our most recent home purchase. This was our first time buying a home, and I must say that before the whole journey began, we were a bit overwhelmed. Hayley was absolutely excellent! She made the whole daunting process of buying a home so seamless and relaxed. She did a great job of not only speaking on our behalf, but also educating us throughout the whole process. Ha...

Success Stories

Downtown Charleston native, super knowledgeable on the city and the market. John was always available and very patient with my year-plus-long saga of showings and offers to finally arrive at the house we closed on a week ago, and I'm glowing on the purchase with 0 Buyer's Remorse. I recommend John Payne to anyone interested in real estate on the peninsula.

— James R.

Success Stories

Riley was always calm, intelligent, and helpful during difficult situations. She maintained open communication with me during the entire process: providing me with listings, touring properties, and negotiating closing conditions. I will absolutely be contacting Riley again for future home purchases.

— Nick E.

Success Stories

John brings four crucial skills as a broker. He has his pulse on the Charleston high-end market, he is an expert negotiator, he is blunt and gives his honest opinion, and he knows everyone!

— Elizabeth H.

Success Stories

John Payne is honest, hard-working, and easy to get along with. He streamlined a complicated process in an aggressive real estate market. I highly recommend his services.
