From social worker to disruptor. Scott's story flips the script on how real estate agents are supposed to operate.

He went from zero to 36 units in his first year, realized he was burning out, and made a choice: scale differently. Now he runs a brokerage where mentorship is hands-on, every client feels known—whether they're buying a $150K home or $1.5M—and agents actually stay.

In this episode, Scott breaks down:

• Why real estate agents are in the bottom 10% for public trust (and the exact mindset shift that fixes it)
• The psychology of how people make decisions and why trust beats commission every time
• How he went from managing one transaction at a time to building a team of 22 agents—and why most brokers can't do what he does
• The mentorship model that actually works (hint: it's not virtual)
• Why scaling by volume is the worst way to scale
• AI, fiduciary responsibility, and what the future of real estate actually looks like

This is not your typical real estate advice. Scott leads with authenticity, transparency, and a deep belief that your client's mission becomes your mission.
