View All ListingsSean was a great asset for me while hunting fir my home on the West Side of Cleveland. His superior knowledge of the Ohio City/ Tremont/ Shoreway area was extremely helpful and since I was an out of town buyer, his professionalism and extra set of experienced eyes was a relief. I highly recommend Sean!
Sean was very professional and responsive. He helped move the homebuying process along on a tight timeline. We also were purchasing from out of state so frequent communication and updates were excellent. He is very knowledgeable about the Ohio City neighborhood. Sean and his team made a home buying process straight forward and easy to understand. Highly recommend if you are looking to purchase a home!
Sean did an outstanding job selling my house. He handled every detail with professionalism and confidence, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend him as a realtor.
Sean was great! He knows the area really well, listens to what you want, is knowledgeable in all aspects of the buying process, answers your questions, and walks you through every step of the process. He!s super communicative and available when you need him. Would definitely recommend him if youre buying or selling!
Sean is good. I bought the property from him 11 yrs ago and then had him sell it. It sold in about 4 days. Not too shabby! Have Sean sell all of your stuff for you.
Sean is top notch. He listened well and then helped make it happen. He kept the process moving in a positive direction until we closed. Treated all parties professionally which helped in expediting the purchase. Don't hesitate to use him w your next transaction. Enjoyed working w him.
Sean did an excellent job researching and identifying a fair listing price, communicating frequently, and answering all of our questions during the entire selling process. He diligently provided us with daily updates and went above and beyond to find and schedule contractors needed to take care of punch list items to finalize the sale. He was available for questions even after closing and followed up until the process was 100% complete.
We were first time sellers and Sean made us feel comfortable and supported throughout the entire process. He was available whenever we needed him and was always willing to explain anything we didn't understand. He was honest regarding his thoughts on pricing and facilitated a great offer for us. Everything was easy and smooth and we can't recommend him enough!
I've worked with Sean to purchase two homes and to sell one home. Sean helped me find my dream home in my dream neighborhood at a point when I had almost given up that I could have the home I wanted in the Gordon Square neighborhood. As soon as the home that fit my description came on the market, Sean let me know and helped me navigate the entire process. He also provided excellent guidance for preparing to sell my former home.
Sean has been great from the first home purchase 12 yrs ago through the sale of that one combined with our newest purchase. I can not say enough good things about Sean. Sean is easy to work with, and you will not find someone better on your side going through this process. He works very efficiently and quickly to find the home you describe to him. It was once again a pleasure to work with Sean Payton. Sean. Thank you again for all your hard work. Rob Frazier + Samantha Tolley
Sean was great to work with. He scheduled showings promptly and made sure we had the time we needed to ask questions. He also paid attention to the details. After a few showings that did not spark an offer, he sent us a few homes to consider that were not on our original list, but had the qualities and features we were looking for. Ultimately, we purchased one of the homes he suggested! And we couldnt be happier! He also helped us sell our existing home. He supported us through all of the ups and downs on the selling side. In the end, we landed a sale that made everyone happy! He continued to check in with us as we were getting settled into our new home to ensure an easy transition. We have referred several of our friends and family members to Sean as we know they will be supported in the same way.
Sean helped us find a home in an extremely difficult market. Sean was helpful, responsive, and communicative! We would send him houses and we would go see them within a matter of hours.
Working with Sean was fantastic. His knowledge of the market was spot on when it came to pricing my condo. Seans understanding of the process made the transaction very simple for me. He picked up every call and responded to my texts promptly. Seans sold my condo in 3 weeks. Overall, Sean is a 5 STAR agent.
Sean was an amazing realtor. We moved to the Cleveland area from Columbus and he helped us find the perfect house in just a few weeks. Each house we wanted to see, Sean made sure to do a virtual/Facetime walkthrough with us and his knowledge overall gave us confidence in putting an offer in and making the move after that was accepted. Highly recommended Sean and personally cant be more thankful he was our realtor!
Nobody works harder than Sean!! He's calm and cool under pressure, when nobody else is. He always has his ey on the finish line and how to get there the right way. He is full of integrity and knows how to lead from start to finish. He is the epitome of the phrase Real Estate Professional. Give Sean a call to help you with all of your Real Estate needs
Sean Payton was a great realtor for new home buyers like my boyfriend and I! Sean was helpful at every step in the process of buying a home in Cleveland Heights! He ensured we understood where we were in the process and what the next step would be. He was always in communication with us regardless of day or time. Our home is everything we wanted and we are extremely appreciative of Sean's advice and assistance with the process. We would recommend Sean to anyone looking for a realtor without hesitation. Thanks Sean!
Sean made the house buying process in this market as seamless as possible. He was very responsive and patient with us being first time home buyers and not know exactly what we wanted. He had a sound understanding of the market and helped us make appropriate offers on houses that were competitive. We were able to get the house we purchase under the asking price with his counsel. Definitely dont think we would have had as great of an experience with anyone other than Sean.
Sean was a blessing to have during our home selling experience! We were first time house sellers and it was important to have a partner who was patient and willing to hand-hold us during the process. He was knowledgeable about the area, extremely responsive, receptive to our concerns and extra helpful and transparent during the process. He was able to get us multiple offers within days of listing the house and was a trusted advisor during the entire process. I would absolutely recommend Sean for all buying and selling needs in the Cleveland area. He was amazing to work with and represented us extraordinary.
Sean was an incredible resource during the selling of my house! I had to navigate the process from out of state which I thought would be a stressful experience. However he was able to help me make good decisions which led to a quick sale and for more than asking! I couldn't have asked for more. Forever Grateful.

We've sold a house, bought a house, bought a house and sold a house with Sean over the past 6-7 years! He very recently helped us sell our home, and it was such a positive experience. He's patient, pleasant and easy to work with. Sean helped us prepare the house for listing, and navigate the ins/outs of listing, offers and inspections. He balances keeping things on track with kindness, attention to detail and just a great attitude. The house sold super fast, at list price and without any bumps. Sean got the house the exposure and showings we needed to get an offer (faster than I expected too). We couldn't have done it without him!We've always felt taken care of when working with Sean, well-advised and confident in our decisions. Knowing he's our agent has taken the stress and anxiety out of listing and buying houses. Highly recommend working with Sean for buying and selling your home.
Sean was fantastic. Helped me throughout the process. Very responsive and knowledgeable. Very pleasant to work with. Was a great advocate and helped me navigate a less than stellar job by my lender. Highly recommended.
Sean was with me throughout the whole process of buying my home. He made sure I knew everything that was happening and he made sure that I knew whatever I needed to do at the times it needed be done in order to keep the process running smoothly. I would highly recommend him to help you in your home buying journey!
Sean has a lot of knowledge about the Cleveland area. He knows what to look for in the homes that are available, but most importantly, he weighs the client's opinion above all else. Despite being a first-time home buyer, Sean listened to all of my opinions and quickly steered us toward several wonderful homes. With his help, I found the perfect home and made an offer all in under a month's time. If I'm still in the Cleveland area for the next home I buy, I would not hesitate to give Sean a call - he would be my first choice.
Sean was very quick to answer all call and questions I had in acquiring a property in Ohio City. He was very flexible and always able to meet with me within a day or take a phone call on the spot. The process was much smoother than I expected. I highly recommend Sean for all of your real estate needs.
Sean was a great agent to work with from the beginning to the end. He had my families needs first and was quick to answer any questions or concerns. I highly highly recommend him for anyone with real estate needs.
Sean was awesome! He was very knowledgeable, informative, attentive, and helpful throughout the whole home buying process. As a first time home buyer, he was very patient and walked me through through the entire process, making it seem almost simple and easy!
Sean is knowledgeable, informative, enthusiastic, attentive, reliable and most importantly, patient. Sean has a relaxed approach, which puts the client at ease. He made what could have been a stressful and overwhelming process altogether easy, understandable and fun. Sean was readily available to answer questions, comments or concerns at any time, and was present at all major stages of the building and buying process. He remained a constant, calming and informative presence from start to finish. I would highly recommend anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Greater Cleveland area to reach out to Sean, you will not be disappointed.
Without Sean, buying our home in Cleveland wouldn't have been possible. As out of state investors, Sean helped with his immense knowledge of the neighborhoods and experience over the past decade in Cleveland's West Side. During our short visit, he organized many showing in a time efficient and productive manner.Additionally, he provided rental comps and visited the property a few times to resolve any of our concerns in a timely manner. I heavily recommend Sean and would not go forward with another purchase in Cleveland without him.
Sean is everything we wanted or needed in a realtor. Superfast in communicating, knowledgeable about our dynamic market, competent in taking care of the details, prompt, extremely professional. Our home sold just as he predicted it might, quickly with several offers over asking price. His guidance on what to do and not do to prepare our home for sale and deal with our tenant respectfully was right on. He struck the right balance in actively communicating with the sellers' agent of our new home without pestering. You won't regret choosing Sean as your agent!
Sean helped us with the purchase of our new home in Ohio City. He was helpful every step of the way in the building process. He has a ton of knowledge about the area. I highly recommend Sean.
When it came time to sell my home of 33 years, I wanted a realtor who was not only knowledgeable, and professional, but was adept at understanding the nuances of city living. I also wanted a realtor who would represent my home in a way that was considerate of my desires and would be available to show my home to perspective buyers.My past includes a career in Real Estate, so I had a list of specifics I wanted in my own realtor. Sean marketed my home professional and handled all inquiries as his highest priority. After the contract process was finalized, this is where a realtor earns their stripes! Dealing with contingencies, escrow, and mounds of coordinated and dated paperwork. In my role as an informed seller, Sean kept me informed and important dates came and went without interruption. I know the effort it takes behind the scenes to keep things on target. Sean is not only a great person, he is a commensurate and unassuming professional. In my role as an emotional seller parting with a home I loved, Sean was the steady and focused professional I needed to see things through.
Sean and I have worked together on several purchases and sales. He is a great low pressure Realtor who can get things done. I was exceedingly happy with the sale of my last home with him.
Mr. Payton is an articulate, knowledgeable professional. He has an effective manner when it comes to negotiation and provides accurate, timely information. We were impressed with Sean's honesty and forthright yet congenial manner. He's a gentleman. We appreciated Sean's promptness in answering our questions throughout the selling process.
We had a great experience with Sean! Sean was flexible with his time and willing to meet with us to view potential homes when it worked with our schedules. He was knowledgeable about the process and honest with us about our housing options. I would highly recommend Sean!
Sean was incredibly professional and helpful in our search for our first home. He made the home-buying process painless and was there to answer any questions that we had along the way. We closed on schedule and could not be happier with his services. We would highly recommend Sean as a buyers agent and would enlist his services if we ever decide to sell our home.
Sean did a great job selling our home. He staged and priced it right so that we had an almost full asking price offer on the 2nd day it was listed, a fully executed contract by day 4 and a full closed escrow by day 30. We couldn't be happier about his level of knowledge and the great service he provided.
Very professional. Responds very quickly when you need him to. He knows what he's talking about! He's also just awesome to deal with and have as your realtor!
My husband and I were very pleased with Sean's professional attitude. He took the time to explain all the paperwork, made every effort to stay in touch with us and worked very diligently to be available whenever there was an appointment to show our property. Sean took that extra step to represent us---and always had a smile! We would absolutely recommend him to anyone who was seeking a realtor---as a buyer, seller or renter. Daniel & Suzanne Renwald March, 2016
Working with Sean could not have been easier. My wife and I reached out to him based on reviews we found online and he absolutely lived up to them. We had a couple houses in mind when we met him and he set up viewing times that worked for us asap in every instance. He could not have been more responsive to our questions, and responded to every email, text and call really quickly. As a first time homebuyer, I really appreciated working with someone so reliable and communicative. One thing that stuck out to me in reading his customer reviews is that Sean has consistently high ratings from customers across a range of home prices. Even though we were buying a relatively cheap house, we got excellent customer service. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars for negotiation skills is that we/the sellers were in a financial situation that didn't allow for much negotiation, so I don't know that I can accurately assess this category. That being said, when we asked Sean to try to negotiate a little, he was successful.Thanks for your help, Sean. I'm sure we won't need a realtor for a while, but will think of you when we do.
Sean was great, start to finish. We found just what we were looking for in Detroit Shoreway - right price, right location, right size. He was very straightforward and helpful during the whole process.
Sean Peyton is a.wonderful real estate agent. Accessible Responsive and extremely Knowledgeable. Sean got us our dream home in Ohio City/Tremont. Which we call Trioh. Best of both in between both. I can only give 5 stars but would easily give 10. Honest and trustworthy and can recommend to the highest standards. Thank you. Alison McIntyre
I found Sean when I drove through the neighborhood in which the home we wanted to sell was located. He had another property pending very similar to ours. Within two weeks of listing we had more than 5 showings and an offer in hand. He helped us to navigate the process of selling our property with ease, was in constant communication and made the entire process stress free. We had previously had the property on the market with someone else several years ago and in six months had only one showing and I had to constantly contact that agent. Sean knows his market area and obviously has a great working relationship with other realtors. I highly recommend Sean if you are looking to sell, or buy, property in the Greater Cleveland area.
If they had an option to give him 6 stars, I surely would have. Sean completed every angle of our transaction professionally and on time. And we gave him a pretty difficult task to pull off by all standards. A VA loan on a Fannie Mae foreclosed property. He pulled off many, many little miracles for us. Buy your house from Sean.
Sean made buying a home a snap. He guided us seamlessly through the process and helped us find the home of our dreams. We couldn't be happier with his service and responsiveness.
Sean went up and beyond his role as a real estate agent, he kept us updated from early morning to late at night. Explained every process in detail. He definitely had our best interests at heart. I couldn't have found a better realtor.
We had a great experience working with Sean. He was very professional, knowledgeable and responsive. He listened to our needs and was easy to work with.
I couldn't recommend Sean highly enough for any process but ESPECIALLY if you are looking/selling in the Ohio City area. Sean has an intricate knowledge for the area that we leaned on heavily during the process of finding a home. He knows everything to look for, has a great feel for pricing, and a good understanding of how transactions will evolve. The nicest thing I could say about Sean professionally speaking is that he is both a low-pressure but highly responsive agent, which is a difficult combination to pull off. Personally, Sean is just a really good guy, the type you'd have a couple beers with after looking at houses all day. We felt like we were the only clients he had at that time, which, judging by the number of signs around the neighborhood with his name on them, clearly wasn't the case.The only thing I couldn't comment on personally is 'negotiation skill' as we founds such a great home so early in its time on the market that we needed to be fairly aggressive. I would say though that Sean offered his pricing advice on other properties we looked at and he turned out to be very accurate in hindsight.
Sean was very helpful and responsive to our inquiries and requests during a home-buying process that had some quirks due to multiple inspections and mortgage re-negotiations. We would definitely recommend him again.
he got the job done. we closed and it took us about 3 months from finding to getting our keys. he is knowledgeable about loan types areas and even the houses themselves he is awesome and i would recommend him to everyone and i actually have to 3 people so far :-)
