A Heart for Homes and Community: A Conversation with Payton Polychrones on Real Estate, Relationships, and Purpose

In this episode, we had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Payton Polychrones, a Northern Virginia native and newly licensed real estate broker with Samson Properties. With over a decade in the industry, Payton brings a rare combination of performance, education, and deep community connection to every transaction—and it shows.

Payton’s journey into real estate wasn’t a straight line. With roots in performance and music education, he spent years working in his family’s floral business before a pivotal nudge from his mom and stepmom led him to real estate. What started as a leap of faith quickly turned into a successful career, marked by awards like Rookie of the Year and, most recently, Agent of the Year for his office in 2024.

But what really sets Payton apart is his unwavering commitment to people. Whether it’s helping clients new to the area navigate everything from soccer leagues to the best pizza spots, or mentoring fellow agents with a teacher’s heart, Payton brings depth, preparation, and care to every interaction. He likens his role to a “white knight” guiding clients to their dream home—but never in the driver’s seat, always collaborating.

Our conversation explored everything from his unique marketing approach—including client appreciation events supporting the Fredericksburg Food Bank—to the importance of maintaining mental health and finding joy in work-life balance. With his blend of humor, humility, and heart, Payton reminded us that real estate is, at its core, a service industry rooted in human connection.

His mantra? “You gotta risk it to get the biscuit”—a fun nod to his dad’s wisdom that underscores his belief in betting on yourself, doing the hard work, and staying aligned with your values.

Whether you’re a homebuyer, a fellow agent, or just someone in search of inspiration, Payton’s story is proof that with a little grit, a lot of heart, and a good biscuit quote, you can truly build something meaningful.
