About Scott

Meet Scott Korbin — a seasoned Broker and trusted real estate professional with more than 30 years of proven success across the Triangle. Scott’s career foundation is uniquely deep: 17 years as a Mortgage Banker and 14 years as a Land Developer, before transitioning into full-time brokerage in 2009—right on the heels of the Great Recession. That timing was no accident; Scott saw an opportunity to apply his financial expertise at a moment when clarity and guidance were most needed. In the post-crisis years, he quickly became one of the most sought-after Brokers in the Short Sale market. Leveraging his loan servicing background, Scott skillfully guided homeowners through the complex approval process, securing short sales that released clients from crushing liabilities and helped them avoid foreclosure. His ability to turn financial hardship into a path forward earned him a reputation as a steady, knowledgeable advocate. Today, Scott leads the Scott Korbin Team, an affilate of COMPASS, where he provides strategic vision and hands-on guidance. He is known less for chasing volume and more for delivering exceptional service and measurable results. His listings consistently go under contract well below the average days on market—just 25 days on average over the last 16 years —demonstrating both his pricing expertise and negotiation strength. Clients regularly praise Scott’s strategic approach, noting his ability to cut through uncertainty and provide the clarity and confidence needed to make smart decisions—whether buying, selling, or holding property as an investment. His nearly perfect 5-star rating, backed by 25+ client reviews, speaks to both his professional skill and his unwavering commitment to fiduciary duty. While Scott’s market knowledge is exceptional, it’s his dedication to people that truly sets him apart. He believes real estate is not simply about transactions—it’s about guiding families, investors, and communities toward long-term success.

We recently relocated from Florida to North Carolina and had the pleasure of working with Linda and her team while purchasing our new home in Knightdale. Moving and purchasing a home from a distance can be extremely challenge but Linda went out of our way to make the process as seamless as possible. From FaceTime homesite selection to home inspections, Linda was present and available offering guidance and support. She was often there when we couldn’t be and represented us with professionalism, industry knowledge, and confidence. Linda and her team went above and beyond and made our home buying a great experience. We recommend her most highly.

Linda and Janette were wonderful to work with throughout the purchase of my property in Wake Forest

Linda and Janette were wonderful to work with throughout the purchase of my property in Wake Forest. They were responsive, helpful, and kept us updated throughout the process. There were a number of moving pieces along the way, and we really appreciated their communication and help keeping everything on track through closing. It was a pleasure working with them both, and I would definitely recommend them!

Linda Trevor & Co did a fabulous job

Linda Trevor & Co. did a fabulous job selling my stepmother's house. The home was beautifully staged and had an offer within days of going on the market. As part of the estate, there were four separate "sellers" of this house in three different states. Linda & Co. did a wonderful job communicating, keeping us all informed and handling all of the documentation that required signatures from multiples parties across the country. They worked well with the lawyers for both the buyers and the sellers, assisted with local repairs that were needed and answered all of our questions. Their responsiveness and attention to detail ensured that all the paperwork was completed on time and the home sale proceeded quickly and without any issues.

After a lifetime of many moves, and now as a senior, I was not looking forward to all the challenges

After a lifetime of many moves, and now as a senior, I was not looking forward to all the challenges of another out-of-state relocation. Learning about a new city, visiting it as many times as needed to find a house that would hopefully meet at least some of my wish list items, juggling the engagement of new services several states away from my northern condo that was about to be listed, and so on. Just thinking about it was exhausting. Enter Colleen Lawrence and the rest of the Linda Trevor & Co team. Seriously, a dream team. Colleen returned my initial online contact immediately and arranged a Zoom meeting the next day. In less than a week, she and I were driving in the Cary/Apex/Raleigh area armed with my list of what things would make the ideal home. Unlike agents I’ve worked with in the past, Colleen obviously studied that list in detail and picked multiple homes the first day that were strong contenders. By the next morning, we were on our way to the finalists, and by my return flight that afternoon, I had a contract on my perfect home. That was astonishing, because I typically just settle for a less than exciting house after hunting for weeks or months. Colleen not only listened to me, but she offered valuable advice and observations, sometimes on things I had not even considered or did not know because of being out of state. She provided (and continues to provide) a slew of relocation pointers that practically have eliminated the guesswork and stress from moving somewhere unfamiliar. Plus, she’s a positive, intuitive, and overall enjoyable individual with whom to work. The whole team is amazing, and Carla Belanger is a star, too, flawlessly guiding me from the day I flew home through the day of closing--it couldn’t have been easier. This is the first time I can say the entire process of purchasing a home has been fun! Thanks to everyone at Linda Trevor & Co., especially Colleen and Carla. 

Working with Linda Trevor and her team was the best decision we made in selling our home

Working with Linda Trevor and her team was the best decision we made in selling our home. Our property had been on the market for months with little to show for it before Linda stepped in, and the difference was immediate. She brought a sharp, honest strategy to the table, repositioned our listing, and kept us informed at every turn with clear, data-driven guidance rather than empty reassurance. When our offer came, Linda negotiated it beautifully — securing a higher price and stronger terms than we expected. Throughout the due diligence process and all the way to closing, she and her team were responsive, detail-oriented, and genuinely invested in getting us to the finish line. Janette and the whole team made what could have been a stressful process feel manageable and well-organized. We were relocating out of state on a tight timeline, and Linda's professionalism and attention to detail gave us real peace of mind during a hectic season. We couldn't have asked for a better advocate. If you're looking for an agent who works hard, tells you the truth, and delivers results, look no further. Thank you, Linda and team!
