Scott Newman is a highly respected Chicago real estate veteran with more than 20 years of experience. He has ranked in the top 1% of all agents in Illinois since 2012, and with more than $1 billion in sales across 2,800 transactions, Scott stands amongst the true titans of Chicago real estate.
What earned him that standing is easy to describe but impossible to imitate; Scott treats every client like family, tells them the truth even when it’s not what they want to hear, and advocates for them with a relentlessness rooted in a level of passion for helping people that goes so deep it’s literally part of his family’s entrepreneurial DNA.
Scott's primary focus is helping buyers and sellers just like you. If you want proof of his unmatched passion for helping others in action, look no further than his company's distressed division, where he has quietly built a reputation as the agent who always runs toward the people everyone else runs from. Advocating for struggling homeowners at the scale he has over the years has helped stabilize and strengthen neighborhoods across Chicagoland. It has also given Scott a depth of insight and foresight into the local market that will be expertly leveraged to your benefit on your upcoming transaction.
Scott began rising through the ranks as soon as he joined the industry in 2005, and quickly made the decision to launch his own firm a few years later. From 2009-2018, Scott grew his boutique brokerage until they hit the top 3 in Chicago, before partnering with another one of the most successful independent offices to become the largest in the entire Chicagoland metropolitan area.
In October 2026, Scott's team was part of an elite group of agents hand-selected to partner with SERHANT to launch the brand in Chicago. That partnership is built on a single ambition: setting a new standard for Chicago real estate by providing their clients with their perfect real estate experience through the powerful combination of old school customer service and proprietary, state-of-the-art technology and resources.
Your next move deserves a level of service, advocacy, and results uniquely offered through Scott and co’s unmatched local expertise backed by the most followed real estate brand in the world.
