About Scott

I pride myself on educating home buyers when it comes to their single largest purchase. I love to research properties, especially condominiums. It troubles me when I hear stories of families buying into a condominium complex that has not been managed properly or does not have proper reserves. I feel an essential part of my job as a full-service realtor is to guide buyers to the best possible home we can work to find together. I am married to the love of my life Marty and I am the father of three grown children and 6 grandchildren. They all love their “Poppa Scott” Please feel free to reach out to me with any real estate questions or needs. I have a philosophy I have employed for years. “Successful people allow other successful people to help them.” I look forward to working with you!

Found our perfect home with Rima

Rima helped us buy our home and the experience was honestly great. We were a bit overwhelmed at the beginning, but she made everything feel much easier. She listened to what we wanted and didn’t try to push us into anything that didn’t feel right. She was very patient with us while we looked at different options, and always gave honest advice. When we finally found the house we liked, she moved quickly and guided us through the offer and all the next steps. We really appreciated how responsive she was and how she kept us updated the whole time. It made a big difference knowing we could rely on her. Overall, we’re very happy with our new home and thankful we had Rima helping us through the process. Would definitely recommend her to anyone buying a home

Excellent Realtor! Saved me lots of money!

Rima was outstanding. She was thorough and guided me through the purchase of my home from start to finish. She negotiated a great deal for me and I saved a substantial amount of money. She was easy to reach by phone and never rushed during our communications. I never felt pressured to buy. Additionally, she was very informative and educated me about the process including mortgage process and kept me updated throughout. She made the process super easy. Will definitely use her again. Highly recommend!
