Scott’s expertise is in listing and marketing real estate. His background is in internet marketing and e-commerce; as a result, his listings consistently receive 2-3 times more showings than the market average. He is also a Guild member of the Institute for Luxury Home Marketing, a designation reserved for agents who have extensive experience listing and selling properties over $1 million.
Scott’s approach to real estate is to educate his clients about the market as much as possible so that they can make an informed decision when it comes to pricing a listing or making an offer. His laid-back, friendly personality (remember, he’s a Southerner!) is refreshing to buyers and sellers alike.
Freestone Properties, founded in 2016, is named after the type of mountain streams located all over Western North Carolina. “Freestone” streams are the result of rocks and boulders eroding and becoming rounded by the constant flow of water. These rocks often become dislodged, and these “free stones” contribute to the ever-changing nature of the stream. Just like freestone streams, the real estate industry is always changing. And when all the pieces work together to help our clients reach their goals, it is a very rewarding experience. Freestone Properties is thrilled to announce that we have partnered with Allen Tate/Beverly-Hanks! Striving to continue providing excellent services for our clients, this new partnership with Allen Tate/Beverly-Hanks brings additional expertise, broader reach, and more tools to enhance our clients’ buying or selling experience.
Scott discovered Asheville by working as a counselor at summer camp. In 2003, after 3 summers working at Camps Timberlake and Merri-Mac in Black Mountain, Scott moved to Asheville. He earned his real estate license in 2006 and has worked full-time as a Realtor ever since. His undergraduate and graduate degrees are both from the University of Mississippi (B.S. in Marketing & Management 2000, Master of Business Administration 2003).
Scott’s wife Lisa also holds a real estate license. They have 2 boys. When he’s not listing or selling real estate, Scott is probably standing in a river trying to entice a trout to take his fly, playing tennis, struggling to keep up with his sons on a snowboard, or reliving the glory days in the Asheville flag football league.
