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 this period.

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. The firm's activities extended over the western, south-western and Southern sectors of Sydney. The firm operated one of the largest land sales teams in the metropolitan area. It was at this time that the firm became involved in the renovation and refurbishment of blocks of flats, and their conversion to Strata Title units.

The next major achievement was in the mid 1970s with the firm's entry into the field of Project Management. Projects were undertaken in the form of small commercial developments, the development of englobo land for residential use, villa and town house developments and low-rise home unit projects.

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, where the firm purchased its own premises 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 team and re-branded the company 'S.C.Payne Property Consultants'. The firm set out to consolidate its position as a major suburban real estate consultancy office and evolved into its present form.

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 technology revolution.
