About Me

I am the bridge that connects your dream to your reality. Let me take you there!


I remember what it’s like becoming a first-time homebuyer. Having moved from DC and VA to Atlanta and then to Houston, I understand the challenges involved—relocating to a new city, finding the perfect home in a short period of time and finding a family to rent the old home prior to your move. The uncertainty and fear of the process can feel overwhelming. Having a professional realtor in place who was keeping my best interests as their primary focus was important to me during my first home purchase. If that is also important to you, please allow me the honor of assisting you.

I am JoAnn N. Payne, M.B.A., a Realtor with Central Metro Realty in TX. I serve in the Greater Houston area, specifically in the counties of Fort Bend, Harris, and Brazoria. If you are in the market to buy, sell or rent a home, I am here for you! As a former accountant and educator, I learned early the importance of listening to my clients, students, and families and putting their needs first. Professional, reliable, organized, detail-conscious, efficient, and thorough are characteristics that I am known for. I have a Certified Negotiation Expert designation which enables me to serve and protect my clients in real estate transactions. I have a passion for helping others attain their goals.
