Client Comments
“We knew right away that Scott was the person we were looking for in a Realtor. We loved what he brought with him
from the high-tech industry and applied to selling our home. His ideas were unique and fresh - not the same stuff you hear
every day. In this market, we wanted that competitive edge and Scott provided it for us. He works hard, knows the
industry inside and out, and knows where to go if he needs information. He's in constant contact, communicates with tact
and clarity, took care of every detail, and is a great negotiator. In the end, we received multiple offers.”
……….Lynn and Marty C.- Saratoga Sale
“I was often impressed with Scott's knowledge of the market. Scott does his research - he was always one step ahead of me
and had ready answers to my questions. Scott is a very “hands on” Realtor- he personally handled every detail and knows
how to prepare a house for sale. I was always open to his professional advice and opinions because I trusted him.”
……….Laura M.- Saratoga Sale AND Los Gatos Purchase
“Scott worked hard to ensure that every phase of the real estate transaction went smoothly. He is a knowledgeable agent
who’s sound strategy resulted in the sale of my property at above asking price. Scott is a patient and sincere agent who
understands the importance of matching a client with the right property.”
……….Mark W.- San Jose Sale AND Willow Glen Purchase
“I believe Scott’s presentation of my home, and his excellent negotiating, were the reasons that multiple offers came in- and
I was very happy with the sale price. Scott’s level of preparation for selling my house was amazing, and he and his team
handled every detail. His Marketing and Advertising expertise really showed via the quality of my house website, and thru
the ads and flyers he created. His constant communication really helped to keep me updated about market conditions and
about the interest in my home. I was very impressed with his knowledge about the market and about home building.”
