    This was the first time using Scott and his team. I was very happy with the way they took charge of some abnormal issues with the buyer's lawyer and the Condos association. They rolled right through the process making this a smooth transaction for us. I would highly recommend Scott for your realty needs. He will be the one who sells our house when the time comes!

    Scott was amazing!!! He always found time to show us the houses we wanted to see and when it came down to purchasing our home he handled everything quickly and efficiently while keeping us informed of every step along the way. He answered every email, text, and phone call promptly and if he didnt have the answer for us he made sure to figure it out for us. He really went above and beyond. Hands down the best realtor we have ever worked with!!!
