Clients James & Ashley Forte

Heather Payne is undoubtedly one of Fairfield County’s powerhouse realtors. Being vested in the industry for nearly 25 years we can say this with upmost confidence when recommending the best in the business. We have just completed two transactions with her and from start to finish she worked tirelessly to ensure every step of both transactions were executed smoothly. Heather’s connections in town with contractors, home designers, flooring specialists and dozens of others made things that much easier for us to get significantly above asking price for our home. When working with Heather we felt as if we had family in our corner and enjoyed every conversation and correspondence when discussing business or pleasure. We are forever grateful for Heather’s hard work, knowledge of the market and professionalism. We stand behind our highest recommendation of her and her team at Coldwell Banker. Thank you for helping make our dreams come true.

Clients Connie & Traug

We were downsizing and wanted to be close to the communities we have lived in for over 20
plus years and Heather made it happen. Having someone who listens to what the clients are
looking for and produces results is someone we wanted on our team.
Heather was the perfect person for us. Her knowledge of the market and what is available and
what is coming to market proved to be invaluable in this competitive real estate arena. There
are so many details and Heather handled everything in a timely and professional manner,
working diligently with the seller, brokers, building management and attorneys to close the deal
seamlessly.
It is a privilege to raise a family in the Fairfield County communities and Heather’s knowledge of
all they have to offer is why we will be recommending her to those who are ready to put their home on the market as well as the next generation of buyers.

Clients Christina & Evan

As first time homebuyers in a very uncertain market, we weren’t sure how we were going to be successful in finding our first home. After being outbid on numerous properties and feeling overwhelmed and how to make ourselves stand out, we were feeling out of options. Then Heather Payne came into the picture and changed our lives! From the very first moment of contact, Heather put our minds and hearts at ease. Between her professionalism, dedication, kindness, and wide knowledge base, she helped us not only learn how to navigate the process of home buying, but also infused joy into what is typically a very stressful undertaking. Heather always took the extra time and the extra mile to answer our questions, be available & present for tours and open houses that accommodated our crazy schedules, insured each and every detail was in place, and even provided us with in-depth details and tips about the communities where we were looking. She was an incredible liaison between agents, attorneys, and other professionals and advocated on our behalf to ensure that we were getting the best deal. She was always thinking one step ahead, and her organization, expertise and preparedness shined through at each benchmark.

To put it simply, it’s crystal clear that Heather loves what she does, and takes immense pride in helping people find a home that they truly love. She made us feel like family from our very first meeting to our final walk through, and continues to be available for support, guidance, and just as a friendly face to share in our joy as we embark on home ownership. Heather, we will forever be grateful for all that you do. We simply cannot recommend Heather enough to anyone looking for a wonderful real estate agent. We look forward to working with her on any of our future endeavors as our family continues to grow.



Clients Lauren & Dan

Heather was a joy to work with as a buyer’s agent from start to finish. She helped us navigate an extremely competitive market, equipping us with strong comps while never pushing us beyond our comfort level or budget. Heather skillfully advocated for our interests and was always available with good advice. And perhaps most importantly, Heather is a great person we look forward to seeing around town!

Clients Chelsi & Ryan

My wife and I started our home search before Covid. As we started to navigate the waters and look and work with agents, who call themselves “Local experts”. We kept coming across agents who were always just showing us what was on the market. Not really listening to our true needs of having two very young kids, etc. What we realized was these “local experts” weren’t experts at all. We gave up, stopped looking and waiting for the storm to settle. Then, the clouds cleared and here came Heather out of the blue. Wow, what can we say. Heather is truly a “Buyers Agent”. Heather knew more about the local laws, town ordinances, land layouts, open permits from town hall and much more than anyone we ever came across. Heather is your “ace up the sleeve” when you are playing the game of home purchasing. Heather always had our back and knew when to hold our ground or when to accept. With her vast knowledge and professional manner she has helped my family and I find our dream home. I would never work with anyone else. She is a true example of what you want to have in your corner when going through this process. Heather is a five star realtor who speaks truth and honesty even when you don’t want to hear it. She has gained the respect of my wife and I and we truly cherish her as a lifelong dear friend now.

Clients Tricia & Brandon

Heather was incredible ! She was there for us throughout the whole process, helpful with any questions we had, and great with attention to detail. She was always one step ahead, anticipated questions we would have and knew the unique kind of home we were looking for. She helped us find our dream home and sell our townhouse; we couldn’t have picked a better person to do the job. I would absolutely recommend her services to anyone in the area!

Client David

Heather Payne was simply the best. She acted as if she was selling her own house and had every detail squared away. Heather provided detailed guidance at every step of the way. Communication was clear, thorough and professional. Her performance exceeded our expectations. Heather had a vision for what we should do to set up the house and she executed that vision for the best outcome.
I would absolutely use her expertise again and I would highly recommend her services to anyone!

Client Anna D.

To anyone searching for an outstanding realtor Heather Payne is a true professional in every sense of the word! I was so fortunate to find her! Good Realtors with her knowledge and negotiating skills are hard to come by and I would totally recommend her to anyone either searching for a home or putting a home on the market she gets the job done!

Clients Rick & Matthew

It was a pleasure to work with Heather from the moment we met her at an open house. She curated visits to a wide range of houses that met our criteria and even provided snacks to keep us going during tours. When we found a house we liked she worked with us to get through the process of purchasing it, including navigation of some surprises, and got us to the finish line successfully. Even after closing she has continued to help us with recommendations for vendors and contractors to settle in. We cannot recommend her highly enough.

Client Fenella P.

Heather was extremely helpful with the sale of my condo. She helped coordinate tradesmen who needed access and saved me a huge amount of time. She was enthusiastic and gracious and kept my hopes up throughout the process. She definitely went above and beyond!! Thank you, Heather!!

Clients Karina & Danny

We would recommend Heather with our eyes closed!

She was always looking out for our specific desires, needs and was never pushy. We highly recommend her to anyone in need of a top-notch real estate agent.
Thank you, Heather, we don't know what we'd have done without you!

Clients John & Aideen

Heather has been an amazing person to work with in our search for a house in Ridgefield – especially as we were living in Florida and were only able to visit a couple of times. Imagine buying a house sight unseen – well based on videos only?? That can only happen if there is complete trust in the realtor and Heather has proved to be that rarest of the rare!

Many times we asked ourselves if we were asking too much of her as she visited house after house and sent us countless videos. Over many months we rejected one house after another and not once did she lose faith in being certain that we would ultimately succeed in our quest for the right property. We made numerous offers and even pulled out of a deal at the last minute but Heather remained cheerful and determined throughout – it cannot have been easy for her to say the least.

We never ceased to be amazed about her commitment to our project – phones calls, texts and emails 7 days a week is way above the standard call of duty but really made a massive difference for us as we sat in Florida and wondered how we could ever manage this project.

There is nobody she doesn’t know and is a mine of information and connections, contacts and the right options for each and every challenge. The house we finally bought was presented to us as a likely candidate several weeks before it actually hit the market – that type of in-depth knowledge, money cannot buy. Even after we closed on the house, she has been a huge help in checking on the property until be moved in – who does that??

No question that Heather is a total star and #1 in our books. I hope we will know her as a friend from now on – because we don’t want to move again!!

Clients Robin & Jim

We met Heather by chance when inquiring about a house in CT. She was the first to respond...lucky us!
We weren't really ready to make any decisions at the time, but a year and a half later I happened to be looking again for a house in Fairfield County and there it was...our DREAM house! I texted Heather, on a Sunday, not expecting to hear back right away, and she responded again almost immediately. We went to see the house, made an offer, it was accepted...Done Deal!! Heather made this entire process so easy and actually really enjoyable! She is a consumate professional, anticipates your every need and answers every question in such detail. What a pleasure to work with. We adore her!
Would do it all over again if we had the time, LOL...Now back to packing!!!

Clients Austin & Chelsea

As first-time homebuyers and particularly in the current market, the process can be daunting. Working with Heather was the opposite of daunting and we’re extremely lucky that we connected with her. She made the entire process a breeze - from connecting us to local brokers and lawyers & helping us navigate everything from showing to closing on our dream home. She had a discerning eye on every listing we saw and she was ALWAYS an absolute pleasure to work with. We cannot recommend her enough!

Clients Jeannine & Craig

She was also so very kind and patient with us in a tough market. When we finally found our dream home, she went above and beyond to guide us through every aspect of the process. She negotiated the deal perfectly. Her connections in the industry and that guidance were invaluable. We would not have pulled off our sale without Heather. We highly recommend her to anyone looking to sell or purchase a property.
Hire Heather! She is AMAZING! And you will gain a friend in the process.

Clients Jesse & Leslie

We feel so fortunate to have been introduced to Heather Payne, who helped us beautifully navigate our long distance home purchase. We were nervous about our ability to locate and purchase a home from 400 miles away in a seller’s market, but Heather totally put us at ease. She organized our limited time in the area so well, enabling us to see as many homes as possible. We’ve not spent much time in Connecticut, so naturally we had a lot of questions. Heather always had an answer for us pretty immediately, and if she was not one hundred percent sure of something, she always knew just the right person to contact in town. We find her communication skills and resourcefulness quite impressive. Heather’s attention to detail is also incredible, which we greatly appreciated. She's very kind and tactfully persistent, so the sellers’ agents seem to enjoy working with her. Heather does not miss a beat, and my husband and I feel she went above and beyond expected duties of a realtor for our family.

Client Kevin

I hopefully just bought my last house. But if I have to do it again the first thing I will do is call Heather. She was my realtor, my advisor, my negotiator, my decorator, my therapist, and my guide. She knows everyone. She's an expert at navigating this process. Her recommendations and advice were thoughtful and insightful. Thank you for everything Heather. Buying this house was actually fun.

Client Natalie

Heather was wonderful to work together with. Always prompt and available to answer questions, attend tours, and provide knowledgeable guidance. She also has a great book of high quality recommendations for any post purchase needs.
