"We recently purchased a home through Scott and were honestly hesitant to work with an agent. In the past, we had worked with agents that we felt hadn't kept our best interests in mind, Scott sure proved us wrong! With patience and diligence, Scott walked us through the paperwork to purchase the home, listened attentively to our concerns and gave effective, professional advice.
Scott's integrity, honesty and genuine good heartedness created an incredibly positive buying experience for us. Not only do we love our new home, but we are thrilled to have Scott and his family as our neighbors!"

"Scott and I searched and searched for the perfect home. I wanted a place to live as well as an investment property in the Gorge. We went to numerous homes and I finally found a beautiful Victorian Home in the Dalles that was well with in my budget. My equity has already increased and I love my new place. I can't wait to work in the garden every day after work.
Thanks Scott for all your patience and commitment to my dream."

"Scott combines intelligence and knowledge with caring and integrity, which is a hard combination to beat. He took us through many unexpected ups and downs in the purchase of our house and was always available for our questions and concerns from putting the right offer together to closing. I doubt we could have succeeded in even getting our dream house without his assistance. We have also been working on investment properties in the Gorge and, once again, he has done a lot of leg work, helped us to find properties, sent us information and stayed in touch constantly.

He also helped to put together a solid support team from financing to appraisal, inspection, repair and maintenance people. He covers the range of what anyone involved in a real estate deal could possibly need, whether you are buying a personal home or multi-unit investment property. There is nothing more important, especially these days, than working with a real professional you can totally trust and who will put your best interests above everything. We found that in Scott and we are thrilled with the result!"
