Allie Payne

Allie not only found a buyer before the property went public, but she helped with details of home repair and moving and clean up. She was very helpful with the different stages of financial bargaining

We reached out to Allie to give us some assistance with a house that had come available for sale while we were away on vacation. Her response time was immediate and she provided the professional guidance we needed to begin the huge process of relocating my elderly mother from out of state - including referring us to other professionals whose services (inspection, legal) we would require. Allie was patient and very knowledgeable on the walk-throughs allowing us the information and the space to be confident in our purchase decision. With Allies assistance we were able to secure the perfect house in the perfect location for my mom. We are grateful and very satisfied!

I was referred to Allie by another friend in 2001, after working with an unresponsive realtor who lost a deal for me. Allie was totally on top of everything and got me a better deal on my house than I was willing to settle for. I've referred her to many friends since then. Over the years, we became friends, too. We both are board members of a nonprofit organization that helps underserved youth. Allie knows and cares about the community and is a consummate professional.

Allie Payne helped us sell our first house. She had it done within 5 hours of the house being on the market (on a rainy, cold, January day) and found us a new house in our preferred neighborhood immediately. Now we are ready to downsize. She listened to our wants and needs and has already shown us good choices. Always available and ready to find what you need- try working with her

My fiance and I were referred to Allie by a friend, and we could not be more grateful that we had the opportunity to work with her. We were nervous about the process as first-time home-buyers, but Allie's knowledge, experience, and intuition kept us grounded. She helped us find the perfect home in our preferred area, negotiated an incredible deal for us, and was totally responsive and reliable throughout the process. She coached us toward a very successful transaction, and we learned so much from her along the way. Allie Payne is an absolutely top-notch agent! We highly recommend that you consider working with her for your next home purchase or sale

Allie is great. She helped me sell my single-family home and buy a townhome; she was very responsive throughout the process -- and still is a great source of home-related recommendations and referrals. On the sale side, she helped me price the home right, so I got multiple full-price cash offers immediately after the first open house. When I was looking at homes to purchase, she was patient and persistent in helping me find the right thing; she even sent a letter to residents of a development I was interested in, to see if she could find a seller for me. She ultimately identified a townhouse building that I wasn't familiar with, and guided me through locking it down quickly when I decided it was the one. She was there for me when moving day got stressful, and did everything she could to smooth the process. It all worked out in the end, and my son and I couldn't be happier in our new home

My condo wasn't selling. Then, I switched to Compass and asked Allie what I needed to do to get my condo to sell. Allie suggested painting. She handled all the details, and once my condo went back on the market I had a full-price offer the next day!

As first time homebuyers, we were looking for a buyer's agent who is not only familiar with the Evanston area, but who could guide us through the whole process seamlessly. Allie was the most perfect realtor we could have ever hoped for!

I cannot even begin to explain how incredible working with Allie has been! Purchasing a first home is a daunting task for anyone but in our case, it was next level intimidating as we were purchasing a home from out of state and during a global pandemic. FUN! Allie was a total partner in the process, visiting dozens of potential homes while we watched via face time. She was critical and picky on our behalf, which gave me confidence in purchasing a home without ever seeing it in person. We moved in this week and are so so so so thrilled with our home. I'm so grateful to have had Allie by our (virtual) side during this process

Allie is simply the best. We originally were planning to use another realtor, but luckily met Allie at multiple open houses we were attending. We let her know the criteria we wanted for our house and she was able to get listings to us to review and schedule showings for us before the listed open houses. As first time home-buyers, we needed a lot of help and had a lot of questions. Not only was Allie patient with us, but she was extremely responsive and supportive throughout the whole process. We are certain that there is no way we could have gotten our house without Allie and we would highly recommend her to anybody and everybody we know. You're in great hands in when you're working with Allie. "

"Allie Payne is the best!! We got it done!! We looked at several houses and found THE ONE!!! Ali was very flexible and helped with small things after the inspection!"

"Allie Payne knows her business and knows how to get it done. Her expertise in the housing market is incomparable and because of this I have recommended her to friends who have loved working with her, found places and considered her a friend at the end of the process. She is the whole package!"

"Allie was very helpful when dealing with all aspects of buying our home. She recommended top notch people not only for inspections, attorneys, lenders, and even home improvements once we purchased our fixer upper. We even ended up buying a house in her neighborhood and she was able to give us the ins and outs of that location." - Caitlin
