"I Do This for the Accolades." (2025 Signature Award)

CLUES TO SUCCESS | Some people say awards don’t matter… Thomas Payne would politely disagree. The 2025 Signature Award winner sits down (minus the sash) to share why this award meant so much and how 12 years in C21's culture have shaped him and his business. He also discusses his role as a Foundations Success Coach for new agents, his path to real estate and early years, recent business milestones and his goals looking ahead.
