    Scott did an outstanding job selling our home. Not only was he professional, but he also understood how personal the process was for us and took that into account every step of the way. He thoughtfully highlighted the unique features of our home in a...

    Response from Scott Straus on 7/9/2025

    Thank you, Angela! (Not only for putting your trust in me, but for your kind words!) No two deals are alike in the real estate world, but the one common thread that I hope shines through by now is that I treat every one of them like they are my own! (I would expect that if it was me on the other side!) Congrats on your home sale!

    Bill! I can't thank you enough for you kind words, and most importantly, your trust! It is always an honor to get referred out to friends and neighbors, as it is always a reminder to me that my service has lasting impact, so it better always be great! :-) I was honored to help you sell, and I'd say we had a great run for you! Cheers!

    We went through two offer processes with Scott. We began with him in March’25 and closed by end of May’25. I believe Scott put us in position to win both homes, though we had cold feet on the first (great decision). The market was difficult, seller f...

    Boy, we had quite the journey for you guys, huh? :-) You had a terrific mindset for this to work out for you the way it did. Your ability to quickly dial in on contract advantages/disadvantages allowed me to move fast, too! I'm so happy that I got to help! Welcome to Illinois, hope you guys are all settled in!
