Scott Smith

Whether you're a first-time home buyer or a seasoned veteran, the first step should always be to speak with a lender and receive pre-qualification so you know what you can afford. This will speed up the home search process and make you a more attractive buyer during negotiations.

The first step in selling your home should always be speaking to a qualified local realtor. So often sellers start "fixing it up" before talking to a professional, and that can be costly. Scott's experience in construction and his detailed understanding of the market allows him a unique perspective on needed repairs or upgrades. Ranked the No. 3 Buyers' Agent in 2016, he knows what buyers want and what they're willing to overlook. He's previously saved clients thousands of dollars and sold their home in record time based on his suggestions.

Scott's clients include a wide range of both buyers and sellers. He's helped countless first-time home buyers realize their dreams of independence, assisted seasoned buyers with finding the right home at the right price to increase their worth, and aided sellers in getting the most return on their investment in the shortest length of time possible. Scott enjoys working with all types of clients and welcomes new challenges!

Scott's favorite part of real estate is being able to secure a great deal for his clients! Two recent transactions provided him just that opportunity. The first client purchased an apartment complex and after reviewing the company's accounting records, Scott was able to find a few discrepancies that equated to almost $20,000 in savings per year. The second client sold a residential home and inspections reported almost $14,000 in needed repairs. Scott's experience with inspections, construction, loads and home-building proved invaluable because he was able to secure an engineer who re-evaluated the property and cleared all issues, thus saving the client from unnecessary costs. Deals like these are where Scott really thrives. His experience and negotiation skills can change the course of a troubled transaction and provide protection for his clients.

Scott spent more than 20 years in mold specialty work and general contracting. While building homes and selling them through his longtime agent Sharon Evans, she opened his eyes to an exciting world of real estate. Scott received his license in 2014 and began a new adventure at Evans & Evans Real Estate under the direction of his former agent turned broker.

Scott's more than 24 years of experience in general contracting, mold specialty work, entrepreneurship, and real estate is a goldmine for clients searching for someone who knows almost every aspect of the market and the real estate transaction process. His expertise can save sellers significant money on unnecessary repairs prior to listing and gives buyers an edge when dealing with inspections, repairs and vendors.
