Scott Freeman

We didn't know Scott before selecting him as our agent but we knew of him from his activities in the local community and that's what we wanted; someone that knew the local community and its real estate market. Scott had been around for a long time and we had mutual friends that all spoke highly of him.Scott made 2 long visits to discuss the process of selling, what we could expect in the way of pricing and ideas for shaping the house up for sale. All this before we signed any agreement. In fact after the first visit we had decided not to sell for personal reasons but later changed our mind.It took us 2 months to get ready and Scott made a couple of visits at our request to suggest ideas for decorating and de-cluttering. We discussed pictures and videos and what aspects of the property to emphasize. Scott had some good suggestions that we had not considered.We also went over the comparables and other issues related to the current "not great" selling market. Scott was always optimistic and thought the house was worth more than we did. We went over the comparables ourselves, concluded that Scott was right and arrived at a price we thought was appropriate. Scott came up with his figure and our estimates were almost exactly the same.We listed the house on a Sunday and had an offer by Wednesday. It was low. Scott negotiated it up quite close to the asking price right away. We were ready to accept after discussing it with him but he said he thought "there was more money on the table" and we agreed to let him negotiate further. He got more.We signed an agreement and then things went bad. The buyer had a very complex financial situation and a bank that was difficult to say the least. Over about 6 weeks Scott functioned as negotiator with the buyer's agent to overcome obstacles and there were a lot of them. He was also psychiatrist to us to keep us focused on the goal and not get bogged down in the minutia of the deal. Scott suggested we keep showing the house "just in case" and he eventually lined up another buyer in case the original deal failed. A buyer and a back up in about 3 weeks.Scott always got back to us quickly when we had questions. Even when he was on vacation in Maine. He spent a lot of time answering, what I'm sure to him were very basic questions. One of us was traveling at the time and Scott arranged for electronic signing of documents and generally kept things moving smoothly and quickly, at least on our end. The deal finally closed with the original buyer.Early on we had considered selling the house ourselves. What a mistake that would have been. Yes, most deals go smoother than ours but you don't know that in advance and the twists and turns in our deal were unforeseeable. Scott knows his business and is a skilled negotiator which becomes very important when the deal gets difficult. He is also well versed in the other aspects of his trade. Now, every seller thinks the commission is too high but Scott earned every bit of his commission as far as we're concerned. We would have been in big trouble on our own or with a less capable agent. So if you're buying or selling in Scott's area we recommend him highly.

Scott Freeman is knowledgeable, fair and honest, kind, and very smart. I received recommendations about him from colleagues and was not disappointed. During the few weeks of searching for a house, he proved to point out exactly towards my needs, was able to find advantages and flaws where I didn't expect to find them, and helped beyond the best of my expectations and hopes. He was available around the clock and proved to be quick where an immediate action was needed, or more relaxed when he suspected I was moving too fast. Beyond that, he kept an eye on the market at large and was able to evaluate very accurately what I should expect in different places according to the basic value of the land, the value and quality of the structure, and the general conditions of the area and the market. He checked-- before I did-- any possible problems, got in touch with the sellers and the different companies where it was needed, and made sure that I wouldn't find any surprises after finding--thanks to him-- a place I really liked. I never came across a realtor who combined such skill, human understanding, knowledge of his profession, and honesty, before. I will be more than happy to answer any questions and recommend Scott in person. He's made my move a very smooth and easy one.

My wife and I learned a lot from Scott as far as real estate business. He was very informative, professional, kind, respectful and most of all honest and made us feel that he want to get us the best house that meet our needs. My wife, my son, my daughter and I felt so comfortable with Scott. We could ask him any questions. We have seen so many houses with him and he was always available and on time with a home ready on the house. His answers were always informative and helpful. He helped us from the begining to the day we walked in our new home. I will just say he exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a house.

I spent almost 2 years working with this agent. When I started with Scott I was thinking about relocating to PA from NJ but was not 100% ready. Scott was patient and showed me houses I was interested in without pressure and offered some great insight. He offered me options, but never pushed. At one point I attempted to purchase a short sale property. Scott cautioned me about distressed properties, but proceeded. After 4 months of dealing with banks the sale fell through 1 week before settlement. Scott maintained his support and professionalism through the whole process giving me updates and advice. When the sale fell apart he jumped right back into the game with me. Throughout my search Scott always had a laid back, no pressure attitude. When I finally found the house I really wanted, he knew. At that point he told me quite frankly that it was time for me to stand back and "let him go to work for me." With time being of the essence during sale negotiations, Scott pointed me in all the right directions. When a home inspection revealed a hiccup, Scott was able to help me find a specialist to re-evaluate flagged items so that I would be sure I was making a solid investment. He negotiated a lower price, got me a seller assist, and even got the seller to throw in a full tank of heating oil. When days or even hours were critical to make things happen Scott was always there when I called or emailed. He knew I lived in another state and traveled extensively for work. He made every effort to utilize technology by faxing and emailing paperwork. When I needed to sign papers in person he made every effort to meet me. Scott would meet me in different offices or on the road to accommodate my schedule and travels. I had worked in the area I was home shopping in for several years and thought I knew it. As we looked at homes in different towns Scott would bring things to my attention that made me realize how little I did know about the area. He became a valuable source of knowledge for all the little things you take for granted, but really depend on. You get caught up in emotion when looking at houses and forget about things like where will you park your car if you live "in town." It is nice to have somebody who can tell you that the road you plan to commute on is prone to flooding. Or that a given street is busy at another time of day or year and can affect resale value. I would not hesitate to recommend Scott to anyone. He always had my best interests in mind. Should I ever sell my new home Scott Freeman will be the first call I make.

I was a first time homebuyer and therefore didn't know alot about purchasing a home. Therefore Scott was a big help in guiding me through each step in buting a home. He was always available whe i had a question and shared alot of advise with me. He was always willing to adjust his schedule to help me look at house. Scott was patient in showing me houses and never pressured me into making quick decisions. When i finally got the opportunity to agree to purchase a home we had problems with the bank and he worked with me and my mortgage broker to resolve the issues. He is very knowledgeable of the local area and i highly recommend him.

Scott is very knowledgeable in all aspects of real estate and always goes the extra mile to make sure things go smoothly. He is a great negotiator. I am so confident in Scott's abilities, I recommended him to my brother and he found him the "right" house at the "right" price too. I will, no doubt, use Scott for all of my real estate needs.

Scott was a wonderful realtor to have working for us. Being first time homebuyers we were really going into the home buying process very green. In total we worked with Scott for 15 months or so before finding the home that we now own. He was very prompt in getting back to us when we called, and also gave us any information we asked for regarding homes that we were interested in. He showed us many homes and was very honest and forthcoming with information regarding each. Not being from the area that we were searching in he drove a good distance many times to show us houses that we wanted to see. He knew the budget that we had to work with and was careful to show us homes within that range, even though it was a very low budget number. He was gracious in helping us with the home buying process and explaining things clearly and concisely without being condescending in response to our lack of knowledge. We asked Scott so many questions about things that were outside of his required knowledge and he kindly answered each one to the best of his ability. Overall Scott was a great realtor for us and we would use him again in a second!

My wife and I were first-time home buyers. We chose Scott based solely on online reviews and the fact that he covered the entire area of PA where we were looking for homes. He ended up being the perfect choice. He accommodated our working schedules, sometimes meeting us as late as 8 or 8:30 at night. He took hours of his time to explain the process in as much detail as we needed. He motivated us to get out and look at a lot of homes, which was key in gauging both the market and what we really wanted in a home. Finally, when we found the perfect home, Scott proved himself a savvy negotiator. Scott was the perfect agent to guide us through the entire process, and his strong local knowledge and real estate experience were irreplaceable qualities.

Scott listed and sold our house. He was a pleasure to work with; very knowledgable, very attentive, responded immediately to every phone call or e-mail and kept the whole process as stress free as possible. Photography was gorgeous and gave a great representation of our home. our home sold quickly and at a fair price. We highly recommend Scott

Very helpful, and played a key role in keeping the process low stress and drama free- which was very important for us!! Before we were clients he came to our previous home, and told us what would and would not be helpful to get the house sold quickly- and it worked! Under contract 6 days after listing!

We hired Scott to help us with both the sell of our home an purchase of a new. The sale was very challenging but Scott facilitated issues with the Township, seller agent and the inspectors. His professionalize was key to a successful transaction. When we identified our new home we had a radon concern which he worked diligently to help bring to closure. We learned throughout this process there are tons of realtors out there all talking a good game, but Scott delivers.

Scott Freeman spent all the time necessary to help me in the sale of my home, and helped me sell it quickly. He is professional, very friendly, and explained each step of the process in a language I could understand, which was great because I'd never sold a home before. It can be confusing to sell, but I trusted his suggestions and was not misled; he presented all available material to help me make the best choices. He is thorough too; he caught an error on someone else's part that could have meant thousands of dollars lost! If ever I am in need again, I'm calling Scott.

Scott did a great job selling our property! He is kind, caring, and relaxed. A calm go-getter. Super knowledgeable about the area and real estate. He was always there for us when we needed his help and advise. Thank you immensely Scott!

I would recommend Scott to anyone looking to buy a home. He was actually the third realtor i worked with over a course of several years. Scott knew the area very well. He was very patient with me as my family was dead set on a specific school district and it was inevitably very difficult to find a home in our price range that was still in the district. He worked with us for approxiametly 3 years and never gave up. In that time he became more than a realtor to us. He is a good friend that kept my family's best interest in the forefront the entire time. At no point was Scott pushy or concerned about himself making money like so many other realtors. I thank him for his patience, persistence, and guidance through the whole process of buying my first home.

Scott Freeman is fantastic! Anyone who has the opportunity to work with him will be so happy. From the very first conversation with Scott we knew we were in good hands. He knows his stuff. Scott was there when we had questions. He is prompt and officiant. I think anyone who is in the process of buying a home knows how hard things can be. The questions that arise can be anywhere from simple things to complex issues. Scott not only answers your questions but if its something he isn't knowledgeable on he finds you the answers. My husband and I are very indecisive and we felt like we knew what we wanted in a home but as we ventured into our journey we realized what we thought we wanted and what was right for us were two totally different things. As we settle into our new home we feel so lucky we took the journey with Scott. He was awesome. I hope anyone that needs a good real estate agent really considers Scott he is terrific. Our entire family, including our children, enjoyed his assistance and company along the way.
