When you first meet local business team Steven and Jo Payton, you’ll feel comfortable and relaxed within moments of meeting them. You soon find yourself feeling like you’re talking to long lost friends. From the funny way they finish each other’s sentences to their warm vibe and infectious laughter, they are a joy to be around. Friends and family will tell you that this charismatic husband and wife team always “keep it real” and that they bring this refreshing approach to everything they do in life, business and the community. “We’ve both found that being ourselves and being ‘real’ with people is the best way to build any successful relationship, whether that’s with friends or with our clients,” Steven explains. “We don’t differentiate.”

Straight-Shooter

Born and raised in Memphis, Steven has always infused a charismatic tell- it-like-it-is style in everything he does. He’s just not the type of professional to bring any attitude or false pretenses to his commitments. From receiving good technical training in the air force to forging a successful career as a fireman, these activities have enabled him to continually make a positive, sometimes humorous but always genuine impact on his co-workers and community alike. On a rare day off, chances are you’ll find Steven spending time with friends or clients out on the golf course. His other favorite pastimes include reading classic literature and writing short stories. Some may find this surprising considering his technical background, a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering, and his high-tech training in the air force.

Creative Flair

Also a lifetime resident of Memphis, Jo, too, has placed her positively humorous stamp on her community. From her stylish outfits to her creative flair, Jo’s exuberance shows in everything she does. But her jazzy style and appreciation for design never hides her down-to-earth personality and sense of humor. The daughter of a prominent architect, Jo grew up reading blueprints and, as she says, “swinging a mean hammer.” After receiving a Bachelor’s degree in Architectural Engineering and a Master’s degree in Engineering Management, Jo forged a solid career in drafting and microcomputer engineering. As friends and family will attest, perhaps her greatest passion is interior decorating. From continually remaking her own home to offering friends invaluable advice, she’s got the pulse on the latest design styles.

Keeping It Real

And if you think Steven and Jo are passionate about having fun and keeping things real and genuine, you should see them in their careers as one of Memphis’ leading real estate teams. It’s exactly this fun, real approach—combined with their extensive business expertise—that makes them such an effective team. They know how much is at stake when buying or selling a home; that’s why they carefully listen to their clients to attain a crystal clear understanding of their goals. Steven and Jo then craft a personalized game plan and focus all of their drive towards making each move a complete success. For them, that’s what “a real approach” in real estate is all about—a genuine concern for your needs and a focused game plan to reach your goals—with plenty of laughs along the way.

Simple Beauty

Steven and Jo’s drive to help simplify the real estate process even more for their clients led them to become mortgage consultants as well. They’re keenly aware of all the issues involved in securing a loan and can help you get pre-qualified or pre-approved for a loan, a distinct advantage for buyers. By carefully listening to their clients’ needs and concerns, they can break the loan process down and put together a comprehensive list of options specifically suited to their individual needs. Then with the convenience of a “one stop shopping” approach, they can get your transaction funded. The key is communication and Steven and Jo pride themselves on their natural ability to connect with people.
