Meet Dylan Payne, REALTOR®

The multiple listing service, or MLS,  is where 99 percent of properties listed for sale in Middle Tennessee are listed.  Everything you see on Zillow, Realtor.com, and other platforms is a syndication of listings in the MLS.  At Payne Real Estate, we use the MLS to gain real-time insights into market activity, and our clients gain access to the MLS when they sign an agreement with Payne Real Estate at Benchmark Realty.

Realtors Property Resource, or RPR, is a product provided to all members of the REALTOR Association. This is a website with robust data sets that allow agents to perform comparative market analyses with more data than ever before in the real estate market.  This is a resource we use on every single deal, no matter if we're representing the seller or buyer.

Over the last three decades, Benchmark Realty has become one of the leading real estate brokerages in Middle Tennessee, now having surpassed the $40 billion mark in sales.  Being part of the Benchmark team gets you access to a network of over 1,900 real estate professionals throughout the state, plus a preferred vendor network, serving as a real benefit to buyers and sellers.

RealScout is a tool, similar to Zillow, that allows clients to look at properties and communicate feedback on specific properties directly to their agent.  In addition to feedback, the platform allows agents to create highly customized home searches to help buyers and is the only way to access Benchmark Exclusive off-market listings.

Microsoft Teams is similar to Zoom and allows us to meet clients face-to-face, no matter where they are.  Face-to-face meetings, even if virtual, play an important role in building trust between agents and clients.  We use Teams because there is no need to sign up for an account on a computer, and because of the ease of screen sharing in the process of evaluating potential homes to purchase.

Dotloop is a system used throughout our brokerage to manage transactions and collect signatures on documents.  In addition to using this system, at Payne Real Estate, we use dedicated transaction coordinators after an offer to purchase a home has been made or an agreement to list a home has been signed.  The transaction coordinator handles the administrative side of a home sale, which ensures that compliance and inspections don't fall through the cracks.
