ZillowVERIFIED What can I say about Scott and his whole team....My wife and I were recommended Scott when looking at purchasing our first home together. I must say, he did not disappoint. Both my wife and I were always pestering him with questions, requests, general knowledge information, etc which he gladly helped us out with. He was always direct with his answers and made sure our expectations were kept reasonable. We were able to find a house right before it went on the market and loved every bit of six years we lived there. When the time came to move out of state, we again contacted Scott right away. Having a realtor you trust and respect goes a long way when making these major moves. Scott immediately came to our aide with recommendations, staging advice, painters and contractors to help touch up the home, and more. Those recommendations alone were worth every penny. So much so that other neighbors who were planning on moving used them as well. As when purchasing the same home we were about to sell, Scott made my wife and I feel like the priority. We weren't just another sale/commission to him. He made us feel relaxed and truly helped our out of state transition go so smoothly. We also need to give special thanks to Stacey, a valued member of Scott's team. She had to deal with my questions about HOA documents and even called us outside of normal working hours to ensure that we were able to get the documentation needed to complete the sale. Scott is a true asset to the realty community and I strongly recommend him and his team to help anyone with the purchase or sale of a home. If and when we are able to use him again, we most definitely will. Thank you Scott, Stacey, and the team for your efforts. They go above and beyond and we are truly thankful for everything. G and A

ZillowVERIFIED I can't thank Scott and his team enough! We decided to sell our townhouse as we were moving out of state on rather short notice. I was initially very impressed with Scott's knowledge and use of cutting edge technologies to optimize the sales process; a true master of his craft and all-around great person. Scott even helped prep the house by connecting us with his awesome vendors who did a phenomenal job. Even though we had to list at a non opportune time (Fall), we received a great offer within the first two weeks on market! Scott and Stacey worked very hard, especially considering we were out of state, and really came thru to close the deal. Look no further; truly the best of the best!

ZillowVERIFIED Scott has assisted us in the sale and purchase of our last 2 homes. Due to Scott's in depth real estate knowledge and no nonsense approach, we had extremely positive experiences both times. He got us high market value on both houses, assisted us in all phases (to include preparation), and was available 7 days a week for questions and visits. Scott's assistant Stacey supports his efforts professionally and was a fantastic resource. We found Scott's fees to be lower than his expertise would warrant! If you are looking for an honest and professional realtor, you have found him!

ZillowVERIFIED I cant thank Scott Smolen enough for all the hard work, dedication and time he spent selling my home and helping me find a new home for my family and I. I had so many questions along the way and he always responded very quickly to every text, e-mail and phone call. Scott helped resolve any issues that came up right away ensuring the process went smoothly. He always went above and beyond. I'm so glad I chose him as my realtor!

ZillowVERIFIED We recently worked with Scott to sell our town-house in Piney Orchard(Odenton), and we couldn't be more pleased with the service we received. One of the things that impressed me the most about the Scott Smolen team was their seamless and prompt communication. Anytime I wrote or called with a question, I got a near-immediate and thorough response, so I never felt in the dark about where we were in the process. Whether I was talking to Scott directly or working with his partner Stacey, it was obvious that everybody was on the same page and that every detail was being carefully tracked. Thank you Scott & Stacey!

ZillowVERIFIED Let me first start off by writing that Scott Smolen is unequivocally the best realtor in the area, bar none! Scott represented us as buyers during a very difficult time in our life due to a natural disaster that affected our family during the sale of our house in Florida. Scotts expertise, attention to detail and knowledge of the real estate market literally saved us from unscrupulous sellers and their agent. Scott put our family first and singlehandedly protected us from a potentially financially devastating situation. Scott was always available and spent countless hours helping us find the perfect home at a bargain price during a time of very tight inventory. Scotts nearly 20 years of real estate experience is essential in an area with numerous pitfalls because hes seen it all! He has the highest level of integrity and trustworthiness which is integral when buying or selling a home. I really cant say enough about Scott and I highly recommend him for all of your real estate needs!!

ZillowVERIFIED Scott was our first choice because he has had a close connection to the Piney Orchard community for a long time. He is highly knowledgeable of the market conditions and was very responsive to all of our inquiries and concerns. The sale of our property was seamless and stress free largely due to Scott's expertise. We would also like to give a shout out to Stacey Singleton who kept us informed every step of the way. They are a great team and we highly recommend the Smolen Team if you are looking to list your property. Dave and Lisa Ash

ZillowVERIFIED My husband and I have worked with Scott and his team for the last 16 years and can't say enough great things about them. Scott and his team are professionals that treat you as if you were their only client. If you ever need an informed advocate to help you navigate through the real estate market, Scott and his team are a great fit.

ZillowVERIFIED I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Scott and his team. My property was listed while I was out of state. Scott and Stacey were there for me every step of the way. No matter what issue arose they made it a priority to handle it and see it through to a satisfactory resolution. I highly recommend them!

ZillowVERIFIED Scott listed my house and I was impressed from the start. His plan of action for my listing was well planned, presented, and executed as promised. And his knowledge of the local market was spot on. His assistant Stacey is phenomenal at her job, as well. Paperwork was clean, follow-ups were speedy, and they are both friendly and professional. From listing through closing, I have zero complaints and will definitely recommend him to others looking to buy or sell in the area!

ZillowVERIFIED Scott's team has handled both the purchase and sale of our home. He has been great to work with as his local expertise is unmatched. We especially appreciated the extra effort they made to the overall process. They go above and beyond to be sure everything is in order and on many occasions handled even the smallest details-all with a stellar attitude. They are the professionals you want in your corner.

ZillowVERIFIED Scott is by far the best realtor I have ever worked with. And I've worked with a several of them. My 11 yr old home was up for sale in Odenton MD in the early summer, and I regrettably chose another REMAX realtor without doing my homework. This realtor, who is also a well known realtor, put the house up for sale, leaving everything on auto-pilot. He was hard to contact, often I ended up leaving messages with his assistant, and over the next three months we only got eight (8) showings during one of the best markets, and no offers. I knew something was up; after reducing the price three times, and still without any recourse, in the early fall I contacted Scott. We chose Scott because he was one of the highest volume realtors in my area -- and expertise in the local market speaks volumes. Scott immediately identified the problems in my earlier listing 1) Our house was waay overpriced 2) Our realtor had under-listed the square footage of the house (it takes someone who really knows the market to identify that since even I wasn't aware of it) and 3) He immediately pointed out small repairs that would have a significant overall impact on the impression. Not to mention by this time I had moved across the country to Texas! What set Scott apart from everyone else is that he single-handedly (well, double-handedly since he did it with his partner-in-crime, Stacey Singleton), handled everything with respect to the sale of the house -- right from the listing, advertising (beautiful brochures, yard signs, electronic listings), repairs and showings. In fact, in the fall, at the same asking price we received an offer in 10 days; and we moved ahead. When we approached the negotiation phase, we truly felt Scott had our best interests in mind, and again he coordinated everything including additional repairs to be performed at a reasonable price while I was in Texas. Literally, we completed this entire deal without ever meeting Scott in person. I can state from personal experience after this wonderful experience, that you will not find a better realtor than Scott. I regret that I didn't find him sooner (had I done that I would have sold the house much sooner). But I am so glad that I finally landed on him. If you are a seller, take my advice -- your realtor ABSOLUTELY will make a difference. My personal story is a testament to that fact.

ZillowVERIFIED I have worked with Scott on 3 transactions over the years (buy and sell). Even after the first I knew he would be my RE agent for life. Scott is always there to help in anyway he can, extremely knowledgeable, and always available to me when ever I needed. Scott and all of his team are great. They are very responsive which is very important to me. Because of my schedule it was hard to show me houses and I am very picky but, Scott and his team would be there anytime I wanted to look and it was never a big deal when I needed to see others until I found the right house for me. I highly recommend he and his team for all your real estate needs. Alvin T.

ZillowVERIFIED When you list your home for sale with Scott Smolen, you get an entire team of professionals. Scott's partner, Stacy, was invaluable to me with questions and information on the process. Scott and Stacy ALWAYS returned phone calls. If they were in with a client, I would always get an email or text advising me of their availability. People will tell you to go with a local or "in your neighborhood" realtor. No, that is not true any longer. What you want is traffic. Scott advertises, is on several sites of the internet and the traffic on my home was unbelievable. Even in a slow market, you need this and he really delivers. There was a minor snag in closing. However, Scott stepped in a smoothed out the wrinkle and everything went well. I would Highly recommend Scott Smolen to sell your property. Maureen E. Long Bowie, Maryland (formerly in Arbutus, MD)

ZillowVERIFIED Scott Smolen represented me as a Seller's Agent. He and his staff performed brilliantly. If you want to be kept updated on the progress of your sale and you want a quick response to any questions you may have, Scott is your go to guy. If you think a sale has a great deal to do with getting your Listing before a lot of eyes, Scott knows how to use the internet in a way that pushes your Listing onto the top internet sites in a prioritized way. When I first met Scott I thought: 1.He's very smart. 2. He's analyzed my complicated situation (an estate sale of a very old and unique house and grounds) quickly and accurately. He kept his word and was there for me from planting the For Sale sign to the settlement table.

ZillowVERIFIED We had to sell our home within a specific time period and with unfavorable market conditions. We interviewed several real estate agents and upon meeting with Scott and discussing his marketing plan for our home, we immediatly knew he was our choice. Throughout the process, Scott continually provided us market updates and he worked tirelessly to bring traffic to our property. I was specifically impressed with Scott's use of technology based marketing to reach out to as many prospective buyers as possible. In the end, Scott was able to sell our home faster than we anticipated thus allowing for a smooth relocation process. I would recommend Scott to anyone in need of a hard working and knowledgable real estate agent.

ZillowVERIFIED I had my home listed with another broker / agent for over 4 months before switching to Scott Smolen. During that time, I only had 3 showings for my house. I switched to Scott and had more than 15 showings in less than a month and a half on the active market. Scott's marketing approach generated significantly more activity which ultimately resulted in a contract. Once my house went under contract, it moved efficiently to settlement without any delays or unforeseen surprises. If I would have selected Scott earlier in the process, I believe my house would have sold quicker and I ultimately would have been in a much better position. There is a major difference in how Realtors market homes. If you are considering selling your home contact Scott and have him show you what he can do for you.Adele Richardson

ZillowVERIFIED Scott and his team are amazing! Top notch! He and I met several times over a period of a year before we decided to list our home. Early on, I explained to him that I had bought/sold 8 properties over the years and had only 1 realtor that I would even (slightly) consider using a second time. While my expectations may be high, I expect nothing less, especially with such a significant sale/purchase. Scott delivered. We could not have been more pleased. He was patient, most knowledgeable, and consistently responsive. The entire process of both selling and purchasing a new home went smoothly. There were no surprises, which in itself speaks volumes. I wholeheartedly and happily will recommend Scott to family, friends, and acquaintances. He is truly a professional and a pleasure to work with!

ZillowVERIFIED Scott is a true professional. It really pays to have somebody home grown in the area. I believe his expertise of the local market made a big difference. He has an outstanding marketing process that had my home with a contract in 4 days. Also, his assistant Stacey was very excellent to deal with and very proactive. She made sure we never missed a beat to get the deal closed in time. Thank you!

ZillowVERIFIED Scott Smolen is a professional dedicated to addressing his customers needs. With my familys latest decision to sell we had many options for selecting a realtor, but we choose the Smolen Team because we trusted that they would work in our best interests. They really understand the Wash-DC/Sub-MD housing market and trends, and their marketing strategies and materials are excellent. When things were not looking favorable, Scott provided the calm and assured us that his strategies would work, and they did in this tough housing climate. Along with the professional aspects, Scott has a friendly personality and shows a great appreciation for family-life. He has shown a tremendous ability to balance his family-life and business-life which is not an easy task for most people. Scott was always there with a prompt response even during power outages. I have recommended and will continue to recommend the Scott Smolen Team as I know they are honest and get the job done. If you are looking to sell or buy, Scott Smolen is someone you should include on your short list of realtors.

ZillowVERIFIED Scott and his team of professionals are truly an awesome force! Scott provided superb market judgment when researching a price to list our home and in fact we received two offers for our home within 31 days. The pictures and internet footprint of our home certainly contributed to it's sale. They were professional and presented our home in a positive light. Scott was available to us with questions and answers anytime we contacted him. Always responding in a timely manner with true professionalism. Plus all that, he is just a very nice person with a high level of integrity! A breeze to work with and is extremely knowledgeable of today's real estate market. We moved out of state but if we were still in MD Scott would be the "go to" person for any and all of our real estate needs. Gerhard and Patti W.

ZillowVERIFIED Scott is a true professionla and expert in the real estate market in Anne Arundle County. Having grown tired of the city (DC) and living in small quarters, we decided to take the plunge and look in Anne Arundel county. Being the picky and somewhat cheap people we are, we were looking for an amazing deal, a great investment, and a house with all the trimmings. Scott was completely understanding and patient, listened to all concerns, and advised us on neighborhoods, taxes, schools, etc. 9 months pregnant, he still met with us, showed us homes, and then patiently waited some more until our bay was born and our current home sold (5 months). He was a great negotiator, and constantly stayed on top of all of our offers (we had many), moving things along and eventually landing us our dream home. You won't be sorry if you choose Scott to assist you in buying or selling a home in Anne Arundel County.

ZillowVERIFIED After a horrible experience that had us determine we'd never use an agent again, I was referred to Scott. His professionalism and knowledge have been invaluable, teaching us what a good agent can do to support your best interests. Over the past 6 years, he's helped us with 4 transactions (1 sale and 3 purchases), all of which were very smooth. We've referred him to friends moving to the area more than 10 times, each of which was an extremely positive experience. Even after each sale, he's been there to provide sound advice, from settlement agents that forgot paperwork to recommending professionals in the local area to complete repairs and upgrades. I trust Scott's inputs on anything to do with the local real estate market.

ZillowVERIFIED Scott Smolen is a very knowledgeable, well educated, experienced and pristine realtor. He went above and beyond to help me search for properties, and gave me sound advice on my current property. He was never too busy or unavailable when I needed assistance or had questions. He knows Anne Arundel and Price George's county inside and out. With Scott's expertise and experience, he was able to help me through each step of the selling and purchasing process. Scott is also not one of those realtors that makes you feel pressured or obligated to buy or sell, but there to guide you along the way.

ZillowVERIFIED Working with Scott Smolen and the Smolen team made searching for a rental home simple and successful. Scott was mindful regarding my needs on price, school districts and many other "must haves." Not only did he always make himself available to show the homes that I was interested in, but his personal knowledge of the area was extremely helpful. Scott was always friendly, courteous and professional. He is one of the most reliable, punctual and trustworthy people that I have ever had the pleasure to work with. His hard work and dedication exceeded my expectations throughout the entire process. I would indeed recommend and have recommended him to friends, family and anyone who is looking to buy, sell or rent a home.

ZillowVERIFIED Scott Smolen is the BEST! I'm very particular and I needed results..but without pressure. Scott was the Realtor for me - and he is for you, too. Scott was happy to show me all the houses I wanted, listened to my needs, remembered things I'd forgotten I'd told him I wanted, and when we ran into a sales agent who was a little lax in her response - he stepped in and talked directly to the builder for me! I'm in that house now. Better yet, I've moved in and Scott is still here with great recommendations for moving help, fence companies, handymen. Needless to say, I've already recommended other people to Scott and they've told me they are happy. I don't refer anyone lightly. I was a realtor in the mid-West before moving here and thought I knew a lot. Scott has the industry knowledge down pat and he grew up in the area - its in his blood. Don't sit and read this - call Scott!
