“Knowledge is Power” is a phase Scott learned from the first Broker he worked for and it stuck. Scott started his real estate career in Central Oregon at the age of 18. In order to gain his clients’ confidence and trust, he soon learned he needed to be as knowledgeable as seasoned REATLORS®. He immersed himself in learning market statistics, inventory, and real estate license law. In the winter of 2012, after a successful real estate career in Oregon, Scott sought adventure and change which led him to Alaska. Initially, he worked for a land development company, including managing several new home projects. He was then recruited to be the managing broker of a real estate office, (where he lives), in Eagle River. “Success is the result of how hard you are willing to work and how much knowledge you have” – another quote Scott never forgets. He notes it is critical to stay ahead of the trends. Ultimately, home buyers and sellers are impacted by local and national markets. Scott credits his active involvement in the National Association of REALTORS® for giving him an edge in the industry. He learned early on that giving back to the profession is vitally important to one’s success. Scott has served on the Anchorage Board of REALTORS® for the past 7 years, both as Director at Large and then as 2017 President. Scott has served on the Executive Board of The Alaska Association of REALTORS® and currently serves as the Alaska representative for REALTOR® Political Action Committee (RPAC), Major Investor Council for the National Association of REALTORS®. Throughout his career, Scott has been recognized for his hard work and dedication to his profession. He was featured on the Discovery Channel’s Buying Alaska in 2014. In 2015, he was named 30 Under 30 by REALTOR® Magazine and in 2016 he was featured on the cover of Top Agent Magazine. Scott is one of five Alaska REALTORS® who was granted membership in the prestigious President’s Circle by the National Associate of REALTORS®. President’s Circle membership allows him access to their annual conference. In 2017, Scott was awarded REALTOR® of the Year by the Anchorage Board of REALTORS®. Scott believes in playing just as hard as he works. He attends quarterly National Associate of REALTORS® conferences which are held around the country. His international travels include: Africa, Central America, Europe, South America, Russia and his favorite vacation hot spot, Aruba. His summer travel plans include another visit to Europe.
