What do Clients Say?

"We had the absolute pleasure of working with Payne Sharpley for both buying and selling a home, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Payne is the epitome of professionalism, extremely well-mannered, incredibly responsive, and always resourceful. He went above and beyond at every step of the process, making what can be a stressful experience feel seamless and manageable. Whether it was answering our questions, providing valuable insights, or going the extra mile to ensure everything was perfect, Payne’s dedication was unmatched. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and knowledgeable real estate agent. Thank you, Payne, for your outstanding service!"

"Payne worked with us to get us a new house in Los Altos ($300,000 below list!) and sell our old one in San Jose (ready in 3 days post our move and sold for $400,000 above list!). Starting from understanding our priorities and needs for the new place and the neighborhood, to helping us stay updated in the market through virtual tours when we were out of town on vacation, Payne has been a trustworthy, dependable, and very resourceful partner during our home-buying and selling process. His timely communications and ability to get things done on short notice enabled us to move into our dream home and get a great value on our old one, too! I highly recommend him if you're in the Bay Area housing market. Thank you, Payne, for a great experience in what's usually a stressful process!"

’ve worked with many operators across finance, real estate, and private markets, and it’s rare to encounter someone with Payne Sharpley’s combination of analytical rigor, execution speed, and strategic creativity. As a hedge fund manager and CEO, I evaluate opportunities through a risk-adjusted lens. Payne approaches real estate the same way—grounded in data, disciplined underwriting, and a clear understanding of downside protection—while still finding value where others simply don’t look. What differentiates Payne is not just his ability to source and structure deals, but his judgment. He understands market cycles, negotiates with precision, and consistently thinks several moves ahead. Whether advising on acquisitions, development strategy, or positioning assets for maximum exit value, he operates with the mindset of a principal, not a salesperson. I trust Payne’s perspective and execution, and I consider him a strategic partner rather than a transactional intermediary. For anyone serious about capital preservation, asymmetric upside, and thoughtful real estate strategy, Payne is someone I would recommend without hesitation.
