Company History

Payne Pacific Real Estate relocated to Shop C, 84-86 Cronulla Street, Cronulla in 2002 after being located in Ocean Grove Ave for the previous 19 years. The real estate careers of the Managing Director Sid Payne and wife Judy have spanned four decades. The firm was initially established as a partnership in 1966, ‘Payne and Rawle, and then ‘S.C Payne Pty Ltd’ traded successfully as a general real estate practice, opening offices at Sutherland, Ingleburn and Engadine.

During the early 1970s the firm became a major force in project home design and sales and in the marketing and development of residential subdivisions. In the mid 1970s the firm entered into the field of Project Management.

With the advent of the 1980s the firm, in addition to being the instigator in the promotion and development of major Shire developments such as Woronora Heights and Engadine Court Shopping Centre, opened a valuation practice at Cronulla, “Payne & McGaw”. The practice thrived and towards the end of the 1980s a conscious decision was made to remain an independent family entity and all operations were transferred to the Cronulla base, trading as S.C. Payne Pty ltd.

During the 1990s the firm restructured and Sid and Judy’s son, Christian and daughter, Nerrida joined the term and re-branded the company “S.C. Payne Property Consultants”.

In 2002, Payne Pacific was launched as the fresh face for the new millennium based on the strong foundations of the company’s past, now armed to do business in the information revolution.

In 2008, we are one of the leading real estate agents in the Sutherland Shire, with our cutting edge marketing, sophisticated management systems and personalised service.
