Hi, I'm Katie!

I’m Katie Payne—a licensed Realtor® in Kansas and Missouri, a proud military spouse, and a dedicated advocate for families navigating the home buying and selling process. With deep roots in the communities surrounding Fort Leavenworth and Kansas City, I’ve built my business on relationships, integrity, and a heart for service.


I specialize in helping military families make smooth transitions during retirement and PCS moves, guiding first-time buyers with confidence, and supporting sellers with customized marketing strategies that get results. My mission is simple: to make your real estate journey as stress-free, informed, and successful as possible.


When I’m not handing over keys or staging homes, you’ll find me enjoying local coffee shops, cheering on the Kansas City Chiefs, or spending time with my family—including my sweet grandchildren.


Real estate is personal. Let’s make your next move count.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

We were nervous about buying a home from outside the country ahead of our military move to Kansas, but Katie was so patient and helpful throughout the whole process! She adapted to our needs using WhatsApp for texts and video calls to answer all our questions and show us multiple homes. Katie helped us negotiate our offer and assisted greatly with the closing process. She made a potentially stressful situation so much easier for us! I highly recommend choosing Katie as your realtor!


~Kristin K

Katie is a blessing in our lives. We had 45 days to find and close on a home. And, I was not going to be in town for most of that time so she would tour the home for us-being our eyes and nose. She listened intently to our needs and quickly learned what would be pleasing to us. She was professional and responsive and protected our interest at the time of negotiating the offer. The home we have now is perfect. Thank you Katie.


~Ann E

Katie is a fantastic realtor. She came recommended from our neighbors and we are very satisfied. We had multiple offers, over listing price, the first weekend our house went live and closed on the house within 30 days. Absolutely zero hiccups! Katie Payne knows her business and works for her clients. She was a pleasure to work with and we would use her again without question.
