About Scott Newman

At our core, we're more than just a brokerage--we're a family-run business that has consistently ranked in the top 1% of brokers in all of Chicagoland for a long time. This isn't just a testament to our expertise, but to our deep-rooted passion and commitment to our clients. We understand the unique challenges families face because we're in the same position, and that perspective allows us to provide a level of care and attention that sets us apart. Our success isn't by chance; it's driven by a relentless pursuit of excellence. We combine the personalized touch of a family business with the cutting-edge technology that keeps our clients ahead of the curve. Whether it's advanced analytics, innovative marketing strategies, or simply being available when our clients need us, we leverage every tool at our disposal to ensure the best possible outcomes. What truly makes us different is how much we care. We treat every client's goals as if they were our own, and that dedication shines through in every transaction. We're not just about closing deals; we're about building relationships and achieving the results our clients deserve. When you work with us, you're not just getting a broker--you're getting a team of top-tier professionals who are the best of the best in Chicagoland, driven by a genuine desire to see you succeed.
Community Involvement
Our commitment to the community is as strong as our dedication to real estate. Over the years, we've been deeply involved in various charitable and civic activities throughout Chicagoland. I've served on the PAWS Executive Board for many years, reflecting our passion for animal welfare and our commitment to supporting the largest no-kill shelter in the nation. In the past, I was honored to serve on the Executive Board of Lurie Children's Hospital, where we focused on improving the lives of children in need of critical care. Our involvement with Make-A-Wish further underscores our dedication to making a difference, helping to grant wishes and bring joy to children facing serious illnesses. Currently, we're proud to be working with Win Four Recovery, an organization that secures housing for mothers in need, providing them with a safe and stable environment as they rebuild their lives. Beyond these initiatives, our team is also hands-on with city beautification efforts, participating in trash pick-up events and other activities that enhance the communities where we live and work. Our involvement in these causes isn't just about giving back; it's about being an active, engaged part of the community and making a tangible difference in the lives of others. This dedication to service is woven into the fabric of our business and is just one more way we go beyond the typical role of a brokerage.
HOBBIES/INTEREST
Outside of my work, I'm deeply passionate about a few things that keep me energized and balanced. I'm a dedicated sneakerhead--always on the hunt for the latest releases and rare finds. It's more than just a collection for me; it's a blend of style, culture, and personal expression. Self-care is a cornerstone of my routine. I'm committed to practicing yoga three times a week, which helps me maintain both physical and mental clarity in a fast-paced world. Meditation and therapy, including group sessions, are also key parts of my routine, helping me stay grounded and focused. When I'm not working or practicing self-care, I'm often in the kitchen experimenting with new recipes or out trying the latest restaurants. Cooking and exploring new cuisines are creative outlets that bring me a lot of joy. Travel is another big passion of mine--there's nothing quite like discovering new places and cultures to broaden your perspective. My love for animals and plants keeps me connected to nature. Whether it's supporting animal welfare through my work with PAWS or tending to my garden, these activities are not just hobbies--they're a way for me to stay connected to the world around me and bring a sense of balance to my life.
FAMILY
Family is at the heart of everything I do, both in my personal life and in my business. My son, Archer, and my dog, Ernest, are my whole world. Every morning, I wake up ready to do whatever it takes to make their lives better. This drive doesn't just stop at home--it extends to my work as well. Running a family business, I understand the importance of dedication, loyalty, and putting others first. Just as I strive to create a better life for Archer and Ernest, I bring that same commitment to my clients, ensuring they receive the best possible care and service. My business isn't just a job; it's an extension of the values I hold dear, and I'm proud to bring that passion to every transaction.

I highly recommend the brokers at Team Newman. Specifically, Morgan Meeker was very helpful with finding an apartment for myself and my partner to rent. The place was beautiful, it met all our criteria, and he found it for us within 2 weeks. We scheduled a day to visit 3 places after a couple of weeks of talking. This place was one of those three and we signed that day. We didnt expect to find something on our first (and only) day of viewings, but it Morgan made it easy. I couldnt be happier with the service we got with while working with this brokerage. Scott Newman runs a great team and gives a personal touch that I have not experienced with brokers or realtors in the past. He genuinely cared and put his best person on the job to help us out. I know they do service for people who are looking to buy homes, as well as people like myself looking to rent a place in the city. If you want to find the perfect place quickly, go to Team Newman! Edit to add: Scott himself checks up on us yearly to ensure we are happy with our place and to see if we need anything. Very attentive, caring, and helpful!

Scott and his team were amazing and diligent.. Sourcing good buyers and helping me hold firm on certain points of negotiations when it was necessary. Would highly recommend his team if you need impartial feedback but a very partial partner in your corner.

You will be blown-away! Outstanding in every way, Scott and his magnificent team were committed to representing my interests in the Oak Park market. This is by far the best team in Oak Park. What impressed me was the strong leadership, fully committed, hard working, smart, focused vibe of Team Newman. For example, Scott keeps an obsessively accurate eye on the market. He will know your area and the current market rates. Team Newman will know how to market to the right buyers for a quick sale at the best price. Trust me on this important distinction because many others will not really be able to achieve this goal. I felt they were my advocates. They are professional and go beyond the requirements to prove their commitment to you. I felt that I had the smartest team out there and that they were on a mission to fulfill my objectives. Michelle and Morgan made me feel confident in their ability to make the right choices and attack the market quickly for the most effective results. For example, Michelle and Morgan gave suggestions for staging directions and property improvements that aided in attracting buyers and selling at top dollar. They also have the ability to give you strategies to aid in finding the right type of property in the right location and making an attractive offer that will lead to acceptance. Morgan's vibe was perfect for the Oak Park market. This is a smart working team that makes hard choices easy and stress free. This is a full-time career for them. Team Newman focused one-hundred percent on my transaction going beyond normal business hours. They led me through the transaction with ease and followed up with me after the deal closed.

Scott and his team were fantastic from start to finish. Selling your home is often the largest financial transaction someone goes through, but picking a broker is so much more than going with the person who will list it for the highest number. Scott and his team started working with me early, not only giving me an idea of the selling price, but the work I could do to maximize the deal - and laying out their strategy to get me a great deal and the property sold. From the little things like painting a wall or two, through staging, finishing with advice on how to leverage multiple offers to get top dollar. Scott and his team are truly full service and they will work hard to get you the best price and terms.

I cannot speak more highly of Scott and his team. I no longer live in the Chicagoland area and was in need of remotely selling my condo after my tenants had vacated. Scott and his team were responsive and understood that my priority was selling quickly with as little disruption to the tenants as possible. Scott priced the unit such that we received multiple, above ask offers within 24 hours of hosting a one-hour open house in the space. His ability to generate buzz for the property meant real savings - no staging, no extra month mortgage payment and a higher selling price than I was quoted by other agents I had interviewed. Most importantly, his relationships with our ultimate buyer's lenders ensured a quick close with almost no contingencies. All in, from the time of signing the listing agreement to a closed transaction was three weeks. I had had a previously not pleasant experience attempting to sell this condo and, this time around, I barely had to time to worry about a thing. Scott, Michelle and Morgan kept me updated every step of the way, put me in contact with very effective legal representatives and ensured any request was handled professionally and quickly. I could not recommend them more.
