About Ryan Payne

For over 13 years, Ryan Payne has helped clients across Central Texas buy and sell homes with confidence, clarity, and care.

His background in both real estate and lending means he brings a well-rounded perspective to each transaction — whether you're upgrading, downsizing, or making your first move. From pricing strategy to closing day logistics, Ryan’s clients know they’re never left guessing.

Before real estate, Ryan spent years working behind the scenes at Disney and in political campaigns, where he learned how to anticipate needs, lead under pressure, and follow through on complex plans. That early training shaped how he works today: thoughtful, organized, and committed to making the experience feel as smooth as possible.

Ryan specializes in luxury and residential properties throughout Temple, Belton, and Salado, with particular expertise in neighborhoods like The Creeks, The Escarpment, and Bella Charca. Clients often describe him as charismatic, detail-oriented, and always prepared — someone who shows up, checks in, and keeps things moving forward.

Whether you're buying your next home or selling one that holds a lot of memories, Ryan’s goal is simple: to make sure you feel informed, supported, and confident every step of the way.
