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.

Excellent buying experience

Scott acted as our buyer's agent to purchase a property in Cary during 2026. His comprehensive local knowledge and network proved invaluable from our initial discussion identifying areas and property types through to closing on our home. He listened carefully to our needs and helped us through the search, adapting and providing guidance as we learned what would best work for us. Because of his extensive expertise, Scott could help us evaluate and consider every option from move in ready to custom build, with a network of contacts on hand to help. When we needed input from neighbors at the very end of our purchase process Scott was able to facilitate this because his wide experience meant he knew them personally, having been involved in their purchase too. Scott is supported by a great team and we highly recommend him as a Realtor.

Exceptional service from Scott and his team!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It was a pleasure working with Scott and his team (Sarah and Andrew)! They were incredibly professional, meticulous, and attentive to every detail throughout the entire process. They went above and beyond to help with everything I needed, including coordinating repairs and addressing any concerns. I truly appreciated their dedication and support. Highly recommend!

Committed to helping me as a buyer

This was the second home we purchased with Scott's help. He had showed us several houses in 2019. We looked again about 2 years later with him. Then we looked again at a property in 2021. The timing wasn't good for us. Scott stayed with us and continued to provide opportunities that that fit our parameters. In 2024 he emailed us with a potential option. We were on vacation. When we got back two days later, we took a look at the house, loved it, made an offer, and it was accepted the same day. He had done his homework. Then again in 2026, Scott helped us find our dream home and was able to navigate a complicated deal in order to put us our forever home. I can't imagine anyone having done a better job than Scott and his team. I have recommended him to other buyers, and he has come through for them as well. What a great guy!

Hands-on Realtor with Depth of Experience and Expertise

Scott Korbin has a fantastic team of friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful agents. We worked with Scott, Andrew, and Sara, and they all have an excellent understanding of the market and are happy to assist with all questions and concerns. They were more than generous with their time. He also has a substantial list of contractors and other professionals in his network to provide services such as repairs, painting, roofing, organization/packing, and moving at a reasonable cost. He did the negotiations to sell our house, and we ended up selling it for $5000 over the asking price in less than two weeks after putting it on the market.

Exemplary. Scott is an outstanding professional with highest integrity.

Scott Korbin is an outstanding professional with highest integrity and commits himself to fully serving his clients. No wonder he achieves first class results. Scott is very smart. His educational background is impressive. He has accumulated an unusual breadth of expertise which serves his clients so well in buying and selling property. Ask him anything about the searching and buying process; he will provide perfect guidance. He is a strategic thinker and enjoys solving problems. He dedicates himself to maximizing his clients' experience and results through his understanding of architecture, market conditions, finance and budgeting, schedules, and of course the varying personalities of each local area. He is a strategic thinker and enjoys being a superb problem-solver. He will serve you well as a negotiator. He is highly successful and, importantly, fair. What further sets Scott apart is that he is so keenly attuned to his clients. He addresses preferences, stress, changing parameters, levels of inexperience, costs and even clients' sensitivities to a variety of random factors. He completely follows through, immediately. As an expert at understanding workmanship, potential property upgrades and repair options, he opens up unique possibilities that expand one's housing choices. When I stubbornly changed my mind about my house preferences, Scott was relentless in providing alternatives to make me delighted in my final property choice and price. And when I managed to get locked out of my new house during my first week there, he was my first and only phone call. I knew he could and would use his resourcefulness to solve my problem!

An outstanding experience

Scott and his team are everything you could ask for and more. They are responsive, knowledgeable, patient, and professional. I worked with them for over a year before closing on my home and during that time they helped me understand the entire process, took feedback to help select homes, and made the entire ordeal a breeze. When I went to look at a home they were quick to give me feedback and insight into the home including details I didn't even consider. I have been recommending Scott's service to all my friends looking for a home and would recommend him to anyone else as well.
