I can't recommend Scott enough for listing agent. This was my first time selling a house and from the very first time meeting him, he had my absolute confidence that he was the right person. He came to the first visit already prepared with market analysis, comps, and a prelim asking price range that was right in the sweet spot I was looking for. He moved quickly and confidently at all times, but was always willing to slow down and explain a part of this new process to me. His responsiveness was incredible. Whether phone, text, or email, he was always right there, but never pushy at all.
We were fortunate to be listing during a strong sellers market, so I wasn't too concerned about it actually selling, and selling fairly quickly. But with Scott's leadership we were able to list at a price higher than I was hoping for, and got an offer for asking price within just of few days on market.
Scott guided us through a bit of scare during inspection and ultimately through a smooth closing process. He even offered to donate to a charity of our choice after closing.
I was immediately impressed with how comfortable Scott was in his knowledge. He projected the confidence of an agent whose done this a million times but I never once got the sense that my modest listing was being pushed aside for a bigger and better listing. It's cliche but it truly felt like I was his only client. Go with Scott, you won't regret it.

There are not enough good things I can say about Scott. He was very accessible throughout the entire homebuying process and was always early to our scheduled appointments and showings. You can tell Scott knows a TON about homes and every showing turned in to a learning experience which really helped as this was the first time I had purchased a home. I will HIGHLY recommend Scott to all friends and family. Thank you, Scott!

When it came time to list our home, we thought that Scott was the best agent for the task. He was the agent for the seller when we originally bought it, and we felt that he had the most experience with the neighborhood and architectural style of the property. We were not disappointed. Scott has considerable knowledge of the historical aspects of the region and helped us navigate through a challenging selling season after the Covid-19 pandemic upended everything from schools to sports to real estate. He pays attention to details and has access to a large pool of contractors and consultants who can answer specific questions dealing with historical homes. This is indispensable when dealing with a house that is over 100 years old. Scott also never loses sight of the big picture when dealing with the details.

This was our first experience selling a home. Selling a home is a stressful and daunting task, however Scott made the process for us a pleasant one and held our hands through the entire thing. Scott was there day and night to answer all of our questions big and small; and yes we had many questions. He always listened to our concerns and gave professional advice. He was always willing to work around our busy schedule, including meeting with us in late evenings. In addition to his professionalism and knowledge in the housing market, Scott has a high sense of integrity and ethical work view, something that some realtors lack today. We highly recommend Scott Laughlin!

We hired Scott to sell our 1897 Arts and Crafts house primarily because of his reputation in handling historic homes. Although we had heard good things about Scott, I was frankly surprised at his attention to detail and the amount of work he put into the sales process. He researched the history of our house and the people who lived in it, and made it part of the marketing effort. Scott advised us how to show our house to its best advantage and had amazing pictures taken. When issues came up, he jumped in and was proactive in resolving them.
I highly recommend Scott to those looking for a Realtor that will work hard on their behalf and get the most out of the real estate sales process.

Scott gave me excellent advice on pricing and preparation for showing of the house and property. His photographs and presentation on-line were absolutely wonderful which resulted in 52 showings in one weekend and eleven offers, all of which exceeded our asking price. His negotiating and expediting skills resulted in our selling to a very well qualified buyer in a very timely manner.

We employed Scott to buy our home and sell it. He is easy to work with, shows up on time and follows through with his commitments. He knows the real estate market. When we sold our home, Scott did a great job marketing and pricing our home and helping us to negotiate with buyers. We highly recommend Scott to either buyers or sellers.

Scott was attentive and patient, as I waited for just the right house. He took me to see every house I requested, even those about which he was skeptical! His experience and insights were valuable, helping me to make choices that would distinguish my offers from other potential buyers' offers. Scott also helped me keep perspective as mortgage rates began to rise.

From start to finish in searching for and purchasing our first home, Scott helped to expertly guide my husband and I through every step of the process. Scott was extremely attentive, up front, honest, and always helped to explain anything that we had questions about whether they were big or small. Scott knew exactly how to navigate competitive bidding when we found the perfect home, and without this we wouldn't be in our dream home today.

Scott was our immediate choice of Realtor to sell my mother’s Condo. Twelve years ago, he helped us sell her property and buy the condo in Jenkintown. He has been a friend ever since. My mother has recommended him to her friends, with very satisfactory results! As my mother’s POA, I worked closely with Scott coordinating the various stages of the sale, especially when we had unexpected damage to the property. Scott directed me through the process of getting repairs and also kept the buyer informed and interested. He was always attentive to my inquiries and on the spot with needed action on my part. We are extremely grateful for his friendly expertise.

Scott stands out as very professional, knowledgeable, experienced, and trustworthy. He is also very personable and enjoyable to work with. Over the past few years, he has helped members of my family with the sale of two homes and purchase of one. I highly recommend his services.

There aren't even words to describe how great of an experience I had working with Scott! I was a first-time home buyer in a very hard market for buyers, and Scott made the process very enjoyable and as stress-free as possible. He picked up on what I liked and didn't like right away, and he was very responsive and timely. He took me to see dozens of houses and was on time/early every single time. He also helped me get in contact with mortgage personnel. Scott was very friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and open and honest throughout the whole home buying experience. I will definitely be reaching out to Scott if I plan to sell or buy again in the future.

Scott was great in selling our home. He helped give advice to get it ready to sell and really marketed it in a top-notch way. The photos, brochure and web presence were extremely well done. The result was 3 competitive offers within 10 days of listing and a seamless sale of our home.

I had been looking on the internet, for many months, in many states, searching for my perfect "retirement home". I've been following, and very much enjoying, Scott's special Real Estate page classic-neighborhoods.com, which is also on Facebook as Classic Neighborhoods. I absolutely love all of the posts and the way that Scott takes the time to research and describe each listing, including the history and architecture. If it hadn't been for me seeing my beautiful new home on Scott's page, I wouldn't have seen the listing. From Day One, Scott worked diligently to make sure I got the home, including a very smooth and fun settlement process. I can never thank Scott enough for all of his hard work and kindness.

When we decided to embark upon a transatlantic move, what most daunted us was the sale of our house. As it turned out, this would be the least of our concerns, owing to the outstanding competence and care of our realtor, Scott Laughlin. Because of his superior expertise in every facet of the transaction, it went flawlessly, leaving us worry-free throughout. At every stage of the process, we benefited immensely from Scott’s remarkable knowledge, ability and work-ethic. His suggestions for staging the house were brilliant; his professional-quality photographs and in-depth description of our home’s distinctive features and history show-cased it magnificently, resulting in 40 showings in 5 days and 9 offers. His consummate negotiating skills not only procured us an excellent price, but essentially secured the deal in matter of days. Leading up to settlement, Scott saw that everything was in place for it to go smoothly and, as he had done throughout the transaction, kept in regular touch with us. We could not be more grateful for the quality of service we received from him or the results he obtained for us. Friends who followed our transaction recently enlisted Scott to sell their home and had a similar, exceptional outcome. He is clearly an extraordinary realtor who has more than mastered every aspect of his profession and is deeply committed to the welfare of his clients.

After having lived in our home for 35 years, we decided to move and needed a good realtor. This is the only home we ever lived in so we had never experienced the sales process. Although well maintained with many modern upgrades, our home was 130 years of age, had no air conditioning and is situated on a busy street, all of which presented challenges in today’s market. It required an exceptionally skilled realtor. We found that individual in Scott Laughlin. He expertly guided us through the process from our first meeting to settlement. He knows the real estate business and the neighborhood; he is high energy, detail oriented and one of the most responsive, communicative professionals I’ve ever interacted with. He performed detailed market analysis to help us arrive at an appropriate price, researched the history of our house to develop a charming narrative to prospective buyers, took stunning photographs and put it all together in a professional brochure. We had full confidence in Scott’s abilities throughout the process. He is fully committed to assisting his clients in achieving their goals, with minimal stress. We highly recommend him!

From the moment we started contemplating a house search, we knew we only wanted to work with Scott. His expertise, enthusiasm, and trustworthiness make it incredibly easy to place immediate trust in him. We were impressed and grateful when he spent time speaking with us before we were ready to begin our search in earnest, answering our many questions about the process. Throughout the months of working with him, we felt fortunate for his time, guidance, and accessibility. Scott was thorough and thoughtful in his assessment of the properties we considered. He was both honest about his thoughts and perceptive to our impressions of homes. Scott was patient when we needed more time to think, only giving us a little push once: when we needed the confidence to place a bid for the home we ended up purchasing. We were reassured by his steady direction during the frazzling experience of a bidding war. Because we knew Scott had our best interests front of mind, we felt secure acting upon his suggestion that we more quickly make a decision during this high-stress situation. He knew what we wanted and he knew how to help us get there, all within our budget. I am confident we were able to secure our home because of his strategic thinking. Scott’s extensive knowledge of the entire process from start to finish and the care he places into building relationships his clients set him apart. We benefited from his professional expertise while sincerely enjoying his company—we looked forward to seeing him each time we viewed a house (our dog looked forward to seeing him too, which is always a plus). Scott met us where we were and took us where we wanted to go, and for this we are grateful.

My sister and I are co-executors for our parents’ estate. I live in Maryland, she is local. If you’re anything like us, when you’re interviewing realtors to sell your family home, you’re looking for more than someone who can list your property. You want someone who can see the beauty in the bones of an old home, who can look beyond the aging infrastructure to see the future potential, and successfully communicate that vision to buyers. We needed someone to guide us through the process. Scott was all that, and more...much more.Though we interviewed several realtors, it was clear that Scott was going to be the one to meet our needs. He laid out a timeline and explained his marketing strategies, but most of all he convinced us that he was going to be all-in on the process.Scott’s guidance began as he walked my sister around the property and through the house, room by room, explaining what needed to be done to make the house show well. He detailed exactly what needed to be removed, and later helped her stage the house.Scott scheduled his prefered photographer for interior and exterior shots, and his drone operator and photographer for aerial shots. When we saw the photographs, the 3-D Matterport walk through tour and the aerial shots we were stunned. The house had never looked more beautiful!Scott really excels when crafting a narrative to describe the house. He draws from its history and connects it to the future with a new owner. He really brought our house to life. He clearly loves “beautiful old houses.”We welcomed Scott’s advice when setting a listing price. We really appreciated his input and advice when comparing and negotiating offers as they came in.We hit a major snag when trying to sell. The house shares a portion of its driveway with the neighbors. Several of the potential buyers asked if there was an easement for the shared portion. Astonishingly, through multiple sales of the property over more than a hundred years, an easement had never been filed.Scott masterfully steered us through the very complex process of obtaining an easement for the portion of the driveway we shared with the nextdoor neighbors. The process was complicated by the fact that the shared portion was actually a section of an uncompleted/unopened road dating back to the early 1900s.It was a situation new to Scott (and everyone we talked to), but he dug in to understand it and coordinated the process with us, engineers, surveyors, buyers, neighbors and a local attorney to get the easement completed and filed on time before settlement.Accessibility and responsiveness were also important to us. We wanted someone who would answer our emails and return our calls. Scott responded with astonishing speed, good humor and patience. He was patient with our endless questions and unbothered by having to deal with us--two co-executors in two different states.Scott Laughlin has earned my absolute, unqualified endorsement.

This was my first experience selling a house, and we had a challenge finding a good buyer for a very large property in a difficult market.
Scott was a hands-on professional every step of the way. He never missed a date or a deadline, 'held our hands' through all the hard work we needed to do, and in the end delivered exactly what we needed.
All of this, plus a very pleasant and professional manner.
We were very lucky to have Scott as an agent, and we found him because he got his name out in the marketplace with class and persistence.

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Scott over the past 2+ years in the search of our first home in the suburbs. We jumped around location prospects in PA and finally settled in Bucks County. Scott was knowledgeable about each county that we explored and each house that popped up that we had interest in. He was always available to see something the next day or as soon as possible which, in this market, was critical to getting the house we wanted. We landed in Chalfont, PA in a beautiful mid-century modern home and couldn't have gotten there without Scott's knowledge of the areas and of old homes. We recommend him highly for anyone looking for their next home and the next after that.

Scott’s experience, professionalism, and attention to detail was invaluable in preparing our property for sale. We had originally encountered his presentation of older and larger properties in the area, in the early ‘teens’, and we’re attracted by his ‘Legacy’ descriptions of featured properties. Most important, however, was his patience and knowledgeability in explaining the process, paperwork, and pitfalls that had he not taken the “ hey…pay attention-this/clause is important, means this and is important because…” could have left us Confused, dissatisfied, and angry. His People skills are good, he is focused but not pushy, he returns calls & texts. We built our business completely by ‘word-of-mouth’ and Scott was not shy about asking for our review of his work. We highly recommend him.

Scott was highly recommended to us by a few friends when we began the process of selling our house. We knew right away by his experience and perspective on our house and neighborhood that he was the best agent to help us sell our pride and joy. Scott walked us through the process every step of the way and helped to build a timeline that would get our house sold as quickly and as successfully as possible. We first met with him several months before we were ready to list the house. It was his guidance and planning that got us a great offer just 48 hours after being listed on the MLS! He also masterfully helped us negotiate through the selling process to ensure a successful close, even with difficult personalities on the other side of the deal. Thank you Scott!

Scott was a pleasure to work with! He is an extremely knowledgeable realtor. His attention for detail, grasp of construction/renovation, and his help in getting the house ready for market was invaluable. Scott is also a great photographer and shot a beautiful portfolio of our house. Although it took sometime for the house to sell, Scott kept us in tune with the market and was always positive and supportive. I would absolutely recommend him to friends and neighbors.

Scott was terrific to work with when we were looking for a new home. He took all of our requirements into consideration. He provided valuable input into the pros and cons of different properties, both in how a particular property would meet our specific needs and in how different features could affect resale value in the future.I think we ended up with a great house at a great price, which only happened because he was constantly 'on the lookout' for properties for us and caught one just as it came on the market. We are very happy with our purchase and with the help & support that Scott provided.

After looking for a house for two years, we heard about Scott and contracted with him. We’d nearly given up on getting what we really wanted, and decided we’ll “settle” for a house we weren’t all that happy with. Scott’s reaction each time was, “But do you love the house?” The answer was always no. Instead of nudging us into something that wasn’t right for us, he was hinting, “don’t buy this house. We can continue to look. Don’t worry.” Our dream house actually turned up one day. We weren’t the only ones who nurtured the same dream: 16 buyers wanted it, and a “bidding war” ensued. How could we prevail against other enthusiastic bidders? The answer is Scott’s strategic thinking; he knew what would work and thus we got the house. We’re even more thrilled with it than we had hoped. The dozens of other five star reviews say pretty much the same thing—professionalism, ethics, sensitivity, deep knowledge of the market and, rather than repeat them—they’re all true--I’ll add these three: Scott routinely spotted defects and design difficulties in houses, and always pointed them out to me. I would likely have missed them, as each house is a lot to take in. Second, he could envision, architecturally, what it’d take to make a so-so house much better and what that might cost. Third, he was so fast at responding to our text messages & emails, that it became a joke: could he get his response time below 12 seconds? If you need a buyer’s agent for a dream house and you are exhausted and at wits’ end with the search, contract with Scott Laughlin.

Scott responded to our initial inquiry about one of his listings within hours over a holiday weekend, and remained as responsive and helpful after we hired him as our buyers' agent. He helped us navigate a protracted process with patience and showed us listings that were responsive to our tastes while exposing us to houses we may not have otherwise looked at. We would not hesitate to recommend Scott to anyone else looking in the Philadelphia area, especially if buying or selling an older or unique home. The only regret we have is that now that we have settled, we will miss touring beautiful old houses with someone who appreciates them as much as we do.

I just listed and sold my house with Scott with great success and I have not been through the process in years. His attention to detail from the in depth history of the home, the prep and staging recommendations, the quality video and photography and his decades of experience in marketing and sales we sold well over asking with multiple offers! Thank you Scott!

When we decided to list our home in Spring 2022, we knew we would need an experienced, dedicated real estate agent to guide us through the process. We raised our family in this home and enjoyed and meticulously cared for it for 26 years. We chose Scott because of his expertise in historic and older homes. While our home was not officially registered as a historic home, it is over 150 years old and is part of Charlestown Township's (Chester county) history. Scott searched through local records and found some interesting facts about the first owner/builder as well as information about the families that lived in the house. We enjoyed learning this information and it added some fun to an otherwise stressful process. Scott was always available and helpful with the transactional details. We really appreciated his talent, guidance and recommendations. Scott is very personable, easy to work with and extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of real estate. We look forward to working with Scott as we look for our next home.

Without Scott we would not have found our beautiful home. Scott took the time to get to know us and what we wanted in our new home. Scott worked tirelessly seeking out the houses he knew met our criteria. Scott is a true professional. He is very honest and direct and will provide you with all of the information you need to have a successful transaction! I would recommend Scott to anyone who is buying, selling or both. You simply can't go wrong!

Scott was the perfect choice to sell my late parents' home. He understands old homes, knows how to work with estates, is familiar with the neighborhood, and was ready to get started right away. His design vision gave us step-by-step guidance on how to declutter and attractively stage a house that had not been significantly modernized for 55 years. When potential buyers expressed concern over a shared driveway, he quickly found and worked with the needed professionals to formalize the century-old informal access arrangement via a legally binding easement. Scott clearly communicated all steps in the sale process, and provided reassurance whenever we had questions. He was extremely generous with his time, always easy to reach and quick to respond. In short, he made the complicated process of selling a home look effortless. I can unreservedly recommend him for anyone thinking of selling a beautiful old home in the area.

Scott gave us great advice on getting the house sale-ready, and took great photos which led to a great turnout once the house went up. The house sold quickly and for way above expectations. I couldn’t have scripted a better experience.

We contacted Scott a few months before moving back from Japan, hoping to purchase a home in the area. From our initial conversation to settlement day, Scott ensured that the process of purchasing a home from the other side of the planet was a remarkably smooth one. Each day, we only had about 2 hours in the morning and 2 hours in the evening when our waking hours overlapped, and we were able to schedule showings, inspections, document signings, and check-in conversations during those hours. Scott is professional, flexible, accommodating, and diligent. He is incredibly knowledgeable, and was able to guide us through the home buying process from afar, making meaningful suggestions during all phases of the transaction. We highly recommend Scott to all potential buyers looking for a professional and dedicated agent!

Scott handled my first home buying experience and I could not have asked for a better agent. He is incredibly thoughtful, was always prompt in returning my calls and answered every question I had about the process. Not to mention he found the perfect house for me at the right price. If you are looking for a real estate agent who will look out for your best interests and won't rush you through the process there's no one better than Scott.

Having lived in the area for 3 years before buying a home, I had done a significant amount of research prior to contacting an agent. Scott was not the first/only agent we met but he substantially stood out from the crowd. My husband and I were thoroughly impressed with Scott's knowledge of the market, our local neighborhoods and the home buying process. He opened our eyes to areas my research alone didn't bring me to, and we ended up buying a beautiful home in a perfect neighborhood for our little family. He was remarkably responsive and attentive and made us feel like we were his only clients - knowing full well we weren't!
I would recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat...and look forward to working with him again in the future (distant future!).

Scott was amazing. After helping us find and buy our dream home, He worked with us to sell our previous home. It was wonderful to work with some one whose judgement we could trust as we got our home ready and on the market. Scott's attention to details allowed marketing materials to really show the house at its best. Thanks to Scott we got a great price for an unusual house in a hard market.

Most friendly and personable, Scott is a consummate professional who brings an unrivaled passion to his work. His thorough knowledge of the area and the existing market allowed him to help us to properly and successfully price our property for a quick sale. He was superb in helping us 'stage' our house without the necessity to use an outside service, and with his expertise as a photographer he produced a stunning set of pictures to show off our house. As we prepared our house for sale, Scott's keen eye and knowledge allowed him to find things that even a subsequent house inspection missed! During the course of our work with him, we found Scott to be extremely responsive and available, principled and honest in everything he did, wise and thoughtful in his counsel, and, when necessary, a firm and effective negotiator. Want to sell your house? Scott is a “one-stop shop” you won’t be disappointed with!

Scott did an excellent job in selling our home. He was direct with his criticism of the house and gave us ideas about what we needed to change to make it appealing to buyers. He is knowledgeable about the local real estate market and has a strong business background. He was skilful in using local data to help us understand financial decisions about the house. Scott referred us to other quality professionals, such as painters and stagers, to get our home into shape for the market. He made himself available via phone, email or text and kept us current with the status of each step. Scott is also a photographer and took incredible pictures of our house and designed a beautiful brochure that really showcased the house! He also provided descriptions and history of the house he had researched - that was impressive and certainly a service we had not encountered with previous agents. Scott posted the same incredible pictures on several real estate websites and used the most up-to-date real estate technology to share information about the house. We put the house on the market in spring of 2009 when the market was in a big slump - it took only 13 days before our first offer (that ultimately sold the house)!

I am a real estate attorney and have worked with many agents. Scott is by far one of the best agents I have ever come across and highly recommend him. Scott was retained to assist us in selling my mother's home. In addition to his caring and sensitive treatment of my mom who was selling the home she loved and lived in for 60 years and all of the associated emotional difficulties, Scott was the consummate professional from the beginning of the process through closing. His marketing of the home and all of the materials he prepares including professional photographic brochures are the best. He is candid, realistic and supportive through the entire process. His attention to details, his negotiation skills and handling through the agreement of sale and inspection period were top notch. He even puts together his own appraisals and meets with the lender's appraiser during the mortgage approval process. There is no one I would recommend more than Scott if you are interested in selling a home.

My wife and I were introduced to Scott as the best real estate agent in our area and we certainly agree. Scott's suggestions on everything from minor changes in our furniture arrangements to full staging of our house resulted in a sale in only 5 days, and we had two offers! Scott provided excellent advice in our post home inspection negotiations for were of great help. He also made sure that contractual obligations by the buyers were observed and met. We cannot recommend Scott enough. If you have a house to sell in the Chestnut Hill area, Scott is your man.

I have worked with Scott twice on selling a property and can honestly say he is one of the most knowledgeable agents I have dealt with. Everything he does is on a professional level. Couldn't have been more happier with the outcome from our latest property sale which sold way above asking price. Thank you Scott....!!! would most definitely recommend to anyone I know.

Scott was professional, conscientious, knowledgeable, and worked hard in my behalf. His response time to all my questions, through e-mail and phone calls, was always timely. Scott appreciated the character of my home, and knew I needed a buyer who would be a good caretaker of it. His knowledge of the selling of old historic properties was invaluable. When looking for a new home, Scott listened to my needs and wants. Especially in the area of charm. I felt he understood me at every turn. I would not hesitate in referring Scott to anyone selling, or buying, both a new, or old home.

We interviewed three agents as part of the process for selling my parents home. Scott provided the best and most complete presentation. He told us exactly what had to be done prior to our house being put on the market. He helped us stage the home to make it more appealing. The pictures he took, the brochure he produced, and the web presentation of the home were fantastic. Throughout the process Scott was helpful and provided great information and guidance. The house sold in about four months, while the average house in the same area took seven months! I can say enough good things about Scott and how he handled the entire process from start to finish. I highly recommend him if you have a home to sell

We were aware of Scott's expertise in real estate and his local knowledge of the market from having read his monthly property analyses. So when it came time to sell, we contacted him to be our agent. We were not disappointed!
From the first contact he walked us through the process with great skill and compassion. The compassion part was important because there were a lot of bumps in the road (at least to us) and he was like a shock absorber keeping things moving forward at all times. It was like he didn't have other clients and we were his primary concern. This included lots of personal attention because we were traveling a lot and there was a need for things to be checked on at the house with all the storms this winter.
As an agent, he is knowledgeable and highly skilled as a negotiator. We definitely got the sale we wanted and we owe it all to Scott. We have decided to adopt him!

Without Scott my wife and I would not currently be living our dream home. Scott was sure to get us in to see our home and prepare and help us make the offer (an offer that would be accepted) on the day it hit the market. But this was not enough because a second slightly higher offer was also made. We prevailed and got our home anyway because of Scott's savvy and sensitivity to other issues that might appeal to the sellers (and they did!) if they were to accept our offer. Scott is simply the best!

My husband and I worked with Scott over a few months searching for a new home for our young family. He was intentional about finding out what we were looking for, and very down to earth and realistic, reminding us what we had said our priorities were if we got distracted by a beautiful home that wasn’t quite right for us. As first time home buyers, we had a million questions, and Scott was always approachable and available, and took time to answer our questions. Responded to calls, texts and emails almost immediately. He was great about checking in or sending us listings that might be relevant, without being pushy. We love the home we ended up in, and appreciated his candor and expertise in helping us negotiate offers and assess whether responses were fair and reasonable. We trusted his opinion, and truly enjoyed working with him!

We were buyers in the hottest real estate sellers' market in decades, and Scott's help as our realtor was invaluable. He was patient, persistent and always available. He was with us through a couple of unsuccessful bids and helped us strategize to secure our winning bid. He's very knowledgeable and skilled at what he does, and we highly recommend him as a realtor.

Scott Laughlin was the best realtor that I could have asked for. He was both extremely professional and caring. I was selling my home of 56 years and had to do so within two months since I was relocating to Virginia. Scott ensured that my house was brought up to code and recommended very reputable contractors to assist in this process. His expert knowledge and handling of my sale alleviated a lot of potential stress for me. I would highly recommend Scott to anyone both buying or selling a home. He was the best and I will be eternally grateful for the support and expertise he provided me.

Scott is a highly experienced realtor. He knows this business well and he was personally very helpful and patient with us as seller. We bugged Scott for several years until it was clear that we needed to move on. Scott was always gracious and understanding. His advice on what to do and what not to do turned out to be exactly what we needed to find our buyer. Scott kept it up through the various inspections and during the wait until the final closing. I highly recommend any buyer or seller to engage with Scott. You'll be happy that you did.

I had been looking on the internet, for many months, in many states, searching for my perfect 'retirement home'. I've been following, and very much enjoying, Scott's special Real Estate page classic-neighborhoods.com, which is also on Facebook as Classic Neighborhoods. I absolutely love all of the posts and the way that Scott takes the time to research and describe each listing, including the history and architecture. If it hadn't been for me seeing my beautiful new home on Scott's page, I wouldn't have seen the listing. From Day One, Scott worked diligently to make sure I got the home, including a very smooth and fun settlement process. I can never thank Scott enough for all of his hard work and kindness.

I first learned of Scott from his quarterly mailing of a market analysis for Delaware County property sales. After I met with Scott and saw his portfolio I immediately knew he was the right realtor to handle the sale of my home. Scott provides a full service for selling a home. His market analysis supported the listing price and his suggested repairs meant I spent my money wisely. His advice for staging was spot on because I got great feedback from all the showings. My home was under contract in 20 days after receiving multiple offers, and it sold for over the asking price. His consistent follow up and attention to every detail was truly professional. Every phone call, text and email were quickly returned. Scott loves his work and it shows! I will recommend Scott to anyone selling their home because I am certain they will not be disappointed with the level of service they will receive.

Scott Laughlin was the perfect real estate agent for us as we are elderly retired folks moving after 35 years in our former home to be closer to our children and grandchildren. He completely understood our unique needs, concerns and cautious approach to moving and hung in there cheerfully and supportively for over 1.5 years until we found the perfect property for us and close to our kids. He helped us through the emotional ups and down of making difficult decisions using his very supportive style and expertise. We was patient with us and helped us find the right property. We are very pleased to recommend him unreservedly.

Scott is the consummate professional. From our first meeting, it was evident that he is very knowledgeable, talented, responsive and with out a doubt a person who truly puts his client first. He knows the market and he knows the product. His marketing techniques are like no other agent I have ever dealt with. He has been in the real estate business for many years, and has had the ability to maintain a pleasant demeanor which in turn compliments his expertise in the industry of expensive, estate homes.
Through my experience with him on the sale of our parents home, he was very sensitive to the circumstances of selling a family home of 45 years....yet he provided the necessary guidance that we needed to complete the transaction. I have come to know him....and I now call him my friend!
I am a PA Real Estate Broker myself, from a Real Estate family......and can confidently say, that there isn't an agent that can compete with Scott's knowledge of the industry, professionalism and respect for all parties concerned, and the skill set to bring the deal in and close!

Scott came highly recommended to us by very close friends. We were selling a house in Warminster, but we were in NY. Scott was super helpful in being our 'man on the scene.' He helped us get the house ready for sale, handled all of the local municipal red tape for us, dealt directly with our contractor when necessary, and had it sold within 2 days of listing it. We felt very comfortable being so far away, because Scott was always there for us. He made the entire process very easy. We can't thank him enough!

Scott’s experience, professionalism, and attention to detail was invaluable in preparing our property for sale. We had originally encountered his presentation of older and larger properties in the area, in the early ‘teens’, and we’re attracted by his ‘Legacy’ descriptions of featured properties.Most important, however, was his patience and knowledgeability in explaining the process, paperwork, and pitfalls that had he not taken the “ hey…pay attention-this/clause is important, means this and is important because…” could have left usConfused, dissatisfied, and angry.His People skills are good, he is focused but not pushy, he returns calls & texts.We built our business completely by ‘word-of-mouth’ and Scott was not shy about asking for our review of his work.We highly recommend him.

Buying a home under the best of circumstances is not easy. Scott was the agent who sold our previous house, and then helped us to find our current home during a time when the real estate market was most difficult. His expertise and eye for detail were crucial at a time when waiving inspections and acting quickly became common practice. We couldn't have navigated this on our own, and his assistance was critical in getting the deal done.

When we were relocating some years ago, our old realtor said, "You don't have to do anything to sell your house" and told us to list it at a high price. That realtor also just took us to see MLS listings that we found. We fired her and hired Scott. He said, "You can't sell your house like this, you have to fix the porch and paint it, and do a few other things. Plus, you've priced it way too high." He found us the perfect house, and it's one we never would have found -- nor would any other agent found it. Back to selling our house. The market was lousy at the time. Even though we painted the porch, etc. and reduced the price, all we got was a couple lowball offers. If we had sold at that time we'd have taken a big loss. Scott recommended we rent the house and wait for the market to rebound. We didn't want to be landlords, but Scott explained it to us, and we became landlords. A few years later, we sold the house -- the market had rebounded nicely -- and we avoided the big loss, plus we got nice rental income. Between the rental income and the market rebound, we made out nicely. When it was time to sell, we called Scott. Scott could have made more money years ago by encouraging us to cut the price and sell the house; he'd have had his commission then. But he passed up that easy money because he knew that renting would be better for us. Not to say that being a landlord is fun, but it was certainly worth the money. 10/10 would recommend.

My husband and I had been receiving Scott's quarterly home reviews/sales information and were always impressed. When the time came to sell our home, we immediately called Scott.

He helped us price our home at a fair market value and we were under contract in 3 days. Scott is an outstanding agent and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor.

We were moving to the area from out-of-state, so we really had to rely on Scott’s expertise of the Philadelphia metro. He didn’t let us down! He was incredibly knowledgeable and able to guide us in narrowing down the areas where we should conduct our search as well as pointing out “red flags” we may have otherwise overlooked when looking at houses. His knowledge was especially valued since we were looking at a very different and much older housing stock than what we were used to. Related to that point, our housing search was quite extensive and frustrating at times since we had a long list of criteria. We started to feel like we were looking for a unicorn. Scott remained patient through the process, and we eventually found a house that suited our needs. We would highly recommend Scott!

Scott is the consummate professional. He is above board in every respect. His standards are of the highest caliber and he expects that from his clients. At no time have I ever questioned a recommendation or a decision Scott has made; I have been fortunate to have him represent me in two sales and one purchase.Scott's knowledge of every aspect of the business side of his profession is outstanding. He is fair, thorough and honest. In addition, Scott loves what he does and is keenly interested in making sure his clients find exactly what home will make their hearts sing. He is a rare professional and raises the bar for everyone else. Scott is a tireless and first-rate representative and I give him the highest recommendation.

Where to begin with how wonderful Scott made our experience of buying a home? Scott was exemplary in every imaginable way! In a highly transactionary world, Scott is a breath of fresh air in making every contact personal and meaningful, listening, and providing his expertise and guidance along every step of the way. We were looking for a special home, and we not only found a gem in our new house, but we found a gem in meeting Scott and being lucky enough to work with him in this process.

I chose Scott over all the realtors that I interviewed because he was brutally honest about the strengths and the weaknesses of my wonderful house. He was also realistic about the current market, what price I could expect, and what the majority of buyers are looking for. He stressed the need to declutter before listing the house and pointed out repairs I should, and should not, make to enhance a sale. 'Do not list the house until it is ready to show to its best advantage.'
Scott's stunning photographs enhanced the attractive marketing of my decluttered house. And I appreciated that Scott was only the realtor for the seller, me, keeping my interests foremost in the negotiating process for the successful sale.

Scott Laughlin is a highly skilled professional in real estate. His knowledge of the market, both local and beyond, is extensive. His negotiating skills are excellent. Ask a question and he knows the answer immediately, which gives the seller confidence and reassurance that he or she is working with an experienced agent. He is friendly and understands that buying or selling a house is a major undertaking for most people, financially or psychologically. He responds to phone calls or emails immediately and is always on time for appointments.
I have already and will continue to recommend Scott Laughlin to friends who need a real estate agent to represent them. I am one of his many satisfied clients.

Scott is an amazing realtor. He was the listing realtor when we bought our house and we were so impressed that we hired him to sell our house when the time came. He understands - and shares - the emotional attachment we have to our home and was able to sensitively recommend 'improvements' we needed to make to show our home at its best. He designed and implemented a marketing plan that worked quickly. Scott sold our unusual historic home in a matter of weeks sparing us a summer of showings. Scott understands the mechanics of buying and selling a home and his negotiation skills are outstanding. He knew when to tell us to back down and when to assert our priorities. I couldn't be happier with the contract he negotiated for us. Scott was also there for us - emotionally and physically - during a difficult move (we were downsizing from a large home to an RV!) I can't promise this to all his clients but he literally showed up in shorts and a t-shirt to pack boxes when we were desperate on settlement day. He was also incredibly responsive under more normal circumstances. He was always available quickly via phone, text and email. Whether you are buying or selling, Scott is an expert who will help you with the practical aspects of your transition. More than that, he will help you will the stressful emotional aspects that are part of any real estate transaction. We can't thank him enough for all of his help and support.

The consummate professional, Scott Laughlin introduced himself to my husband and me years before we were ready to put our home on the market, sending us beautifully crafted electronic and printed messages about the housing market in our area. He was knowledgeable and informative, inspiring great confidence, so that when the time came for us to sell our home of 37 years, he stood out among many fine realtors who also approached us for our business. We invited him to present a proposal for selling our home and he came armed with stacks of statistics on our area and beautiful brochures he had created for other sellers. He also brought glowing testimonials from satisfied clients and clear evidence of his recent, impressive track record in home sales. Before we even listed with him he gave us a room by room assessment of our home and property in which he advised us to perform updates, de-clutter, and generally stage the house, informed by his artist’s eye and vast experience with today’s buyers. He marketed himself so compellingly to us, we could only imagine how his gift for promotion would translate into selling our home. We told him we would undertake his recommended upgrades (floor refinishing, wallpaper removal, reducing the amount of furniture) and be ready to list the following spring. In the middle of this project, my husband became terminally ill and died, leaving me to carry on the work of staging the house and listing it for sale by myself. Two months after my husband’s death, I contacted Scott and said I would like to execute our plan to sell. He was exceptionally helpful in walking me through the process as a recent widow, sitting with me literally for hours as we prepared the disclosure statement, item by item. During this process I learned that in addition to being talented expert in aesthetics (he told me where to move furniture and hang pictures to create a pleasing first impression) he was also scrupulously detail oriented regarding finances, numbers, and the legal issues associated with selling a home. His vast experience informed every conversation. Once our home went on the market, the market became dismally and unexpectedly quiet, resulting in many months with very few showings and lukewarm interest in a home and property Scott so lovingly presented with beautiful descriptive copy and photographs in printed brochures, postcards and electronic media. Scott was discouraged and somewhat mystified by the unexpected downturn in the market in our neighborhood. He worked hard to speculate what the reasons were and did not give up. After nine months on the market with very little activity and one abysmally low offer, and despite several open houses, interest started to pick up. I wrote a companion piece to his formal brochure, a message to prospective buyers titled “Beyond What You Can See” about the intangibles of the neighborhood and community, schools, services, culture and people who made our street unique. Scott encouraged me to write even more, creating a “story” that would touch the buyer’s heart, reminding me that I could write things that realtors were not allowed to talk about. The day I put the new and improved essay out on the dining room table, two prospective buyers came through and wanted the house, badly. A coincidence? Maybe. I received two offers in the same day. Scott presented each one to me, patiently reviewing every detail of each offer including likelihood of qualifying for a mortgage, terms regarding the home inspection, mortgage commitment dates, settlement dates, etc. He helped me to weigh the relative risks and advantages of each offer in addition to the bottom line price. This was delicate work. I watched him encourage me to consider ever aspect of each offer without trying to influence me one way or another. There was an extremely time consuming 48 hours in which both buyers considered and responded to my counters offers. Scott worked around the clock to keep both offers alive so that I could choose the best one, working with each of the buyer’s realtors, communicating openly and honestly with each and making each one aware there was another offer on the table. It is here that Scott’s solid ethical stance shone through. He was all business, calm, patient and thorough. Although no realtor has control of a particular market, a good realtor knows how to leverage opportunity. This is what Scott did for me so that I could choose between two very good offers. Once I made my choice he was willing to convey my appreciation to the realtor whose client’s offer I did not accept, making the whole transaction professional on all sides. Another challenge arose when the buyer’s chosen mortgage company sent an appraiser who was ignorant of our market and gave an appraisal that was egregiously below the value of my home and comparable homes. Scott offered to personally pay for a second appraisal, which may have saved the deal and also created enormous good will.

Scott was helpful with the pricing and in command of the value we should seek in listing the house. He made astute suggestions as to various improvements we could make to prepare the house for sale. Strategically, he had a plan and he stuck to it. We were pleased with the process that resulted in us receiving a full price offer. Post-sale follow through went smoothly and made our lives easier. His marketing, including graphic images and narrative he developed for various marketing channels, was consistent and compelling.

He was always available by phone and would be ready to go see a house whenever we wanted. When we finally found the “needle in the haystack”, with his help we were able to put an offer in immediately, which we felt gave us an edge in this competitive market. His experience was essential throughout the inspection and settlement process and we knew we were in good hands, especially as first-time buyers. He was also great at explaining our options and answering our questions. He knew our needs and was able to represent us and help us navigate through it seamlessly, all the way through closing. Thank you, Scott! We will definitely recommend you.

Scott was the perfect choice to sell my late parents' home. He understands old homes, knows how to work with estates, is familiar with the neighborhood, and was ready to get started right away. His design vision gave us step-by-step guidance on how to declutter and attractively stage a house that had not been significantly modernized for 55 years. When potential buyers expressed concern over a shared driveway, he quickly found and worked with the needed professionals to formalize the century-old informal access arrangement via a legally binding easement. Scott clearly communicated all steps in the sale process, and provided reassurance whenever we had questions. He was extremely generous with his time, always easy to reach and quick to respond. In short, he made the complicated process of selling a home look effortless. I can unreservedly recommend him for anyone thinking of selling a beautiful old home in the area.

When we were ready to sell our dream home and retire, there were so many daunting decisions to be made but deciding on our realtor wasn't one of them. It was always going to be Scott Laughlin. This was our fourth transaction with Scott, first selling and buying in 2014 and then helping our first-time-buyer son in 2022 and now in 2023 selling our historic one-of-a-kind Olde Wyncote home that Scott helped us buy in 2014 when it wasn't even for sale!! Scott's expertise in the process and his marketing prowess secured a sale for us in four days. We are forever grateful for all he did to make this transition as smooth as possible. Now we can rest easy and enjoy the fruits of our labor in retirement. We highly recommend Scott Laughlin to assist you with your next home purchase or sale. For us, there is Scott, and then there is everyone else.

Scott was an excellent no pressure real estate agent. He listened to what we wanted in a home and sought to show us potential examples of that in an impartial way. He often was the first to point out a potential flaw in a home we were looking at, which really saved us time. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy a house in the Cheltenham area. His knowledge of the real estate in this region is superb.

Scott was the perfect choice to sell my late parents' home. He understands old homes, knows how to work with estates, is familiar with the neighborhood, and was ready to get started right away.His design vision gave us step-by-step guidance on how to declutter and attractively stage a house that had not been significantly modernized for 55 years.When potential buyers expressed concern over a shared driveway, he quickly found and worked with the needed professionals to formalize the century-old informal access arrangement via a legally binding easement.Scott clearly communicated all steps in the sale process, and provided reassurance whenever we had questions. He was extremely generous with his time, always easy to reach and quick to respond. In short, he made the complicated process of selling a home look effortless.I can unreservedly recommend him for anyone thinking of selling a beautiful old home in the area.

My husband and I had been receiving Scott's quarterly home reviews/sales information and were always impressed. When the time came to sell our home, we immediately called Scott. He provided ideas to make our home more appealing to buyers. He took his own pictures and created a beautiful full color brochure. We found Scott knowledgeable, professional and very down-to-earth. He helped us price our home at a fair market value and we were under contract in 3 days. Scott is an outstanding agent and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor.

There aren't even words to describe how great of an experience I had working with Scott! I was a first-time home buyer in a very hard market for buyers, and Scott made the process very enjoyable and as stress-free as possible. He picked up on what I liked and didn't like right away, and he was very responsive and timely. He took me to see dozens of houses and was on time/early every single time. He also helped me get in contact with mortgage personnel. Scott was very friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and open and honest throughout the whole home buying experience. I will definitely be reaching out to Scott if I plan to sell or buy again in the future.

Knowing the relationship Scott established with some of our neighbors while selling their houses, made choosing him to sell our home a natural. His knowledge of the architect who designed our home and of our little historic community was important to us, and it was so evident in the way he marketed our house. Scott guided us before putting our house on the market, helping us to see what updates were imperative, what things a new owner would prefer to do, and showing us just how to stage our home. Scott has an artist's eye, and his photography of our home is beautiful. Since so many home buyers are now using the Internet to research available properties, Scott created a website just for our house, complete with photos, video, floor plan, a map of the neighborhood, and a darn near poetic description. I fell in love with our house all over again, seeing what Scott had done.Scott checked in daily, and knowing how competent he is, we felt calm, relaxed, and confident that Scott was working for us. The phrase 'going the extra mile' is all about Scott, because he will use all resources available to him to sell your house. We recommend Scott without reservation. He is intelligent, professional, and he has become a good and trusted friend.

My husband and I could not be happier with our experience with Scott. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the entire buying and selling process and guided us meticulously throughout the process of listing our home and purchasing our new home. He guided us in preparation to sell our home and was readily accessible at all times when he had questions. We were so happy with his expertise and were thrilled when he agreed to help us on the buying side as well. He is thorough, thoughtful, and professional. He walked us through a rather trying situation as we were doing a contingency offer and ensured both sides of the transaction went incredibly smooth.

Scott worked with me for over a year to find the right house, and we looked at many properties. But unlike some realtors who get discouraged or impatient, Scott treated each showing as if it were the first one. He knew what I wanted and helped me get it. Also, his knowledge of architecture and building techniques comes in really handy when sizing up a place. He has an eye for details that others might miss. I call him 'Sherlock Homes' (hey, that's a good one. I should write it down...)

Scott managed every step of the buying/selling process with great skill and understanding for the client (me). I was downsizing from a large home that was quite atypical for it's neighborhood, and it could have been difficult to sell. Scott marketed the house in a way that targeted the right kind of potential buyers which resulted in a sale within a few weeks. He also provided excellent advice in the buying process. Throughout the entire process he was always available to answer questions or make suggestions. As a result everything went smoothly. I highly recommend Scott as an agent who is totally committed to providing the highest level of service to his clients.

We were buyers in the hottest real estate sellers' market in decades, and Scott's help as our realtor was invaluable. He was patient, persistent and always available. He was with us through a couple of unsuccessful bids and helped us strategize to secure our winning bid. He's very knowledgeable and skilled at what he does, and we highly recommend him as a real estate agent.

Most friendly and personable, Scott is a consummate professional who brings an unrivaled passion to his work. His thorough knowledge of the area and the existing market allowed him to help us to properly and successfully price our property for a quick sale. He was superb in helping us 'stage' our house without the necessity to use an outside service, and with his expertise as a photographer he produced a stunning set of pictures to show off our house. As we prepared our house for sale, Scott's keen eye and knowledge allowed him to find things that even a subsequent house inspection missed! During the course of our work with him, we found Scott to be extremely responsive and available, principled and honest in everything he did, wise and thoughtful in his counsel, and, when necessary, a firm and effective negotiator.
Want to sell your house? Scott is a “one-stop shop” you won’t be disappointed with!

Having lived in the area for 3 years before buying a home, I had done a significant amount of research prior to contacting an agent. Scott was not the first/only agent we met but he substantially stood out from the crowd. My husband and I were thoroughly impressed with Scott's knowledge of the market, our local neighborhoods and the home buying process. He opened our eyes to areas my research alone didn't bring me to, and we ended up buying a beautiful home in a perfect neighborhood for our little family. He was remarkably responsive and attentive and made us feel like we were his only clients - knowing full well we weren't! I would recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat...and look forward to working with him again in the future (distant future!).

We worked with Scott over a year to purchase a property in Philadelphia. He helped us focus our search (both on areas and property types), figure out what was important to us, and was always on the lookout for interesting listings that could fit what we were looking for. We saw quite a few properties with Scott and he never hesitated to point out potential problems, even if it meant continuing our search. We ended up finding a for sale by owner that wasn’t even on the market, and Scott arranged to see the house and we had it under contract within days. He then worked through various unique issues before closing, and was always there to answer questions and provide advice. Scott is hard working, incredibly responsive, and ethical. We've had no hesitation recommending him to friends looking for a realtor.

We would thoroughly recommend working with Scott, he was a great support to us throughout the process of finding and buying our home. Always professional, and with an exceptional eye for detail, he really helped narrow our search and achieve our target of finding a new home for our family within a very specific area and timeline. His advice and knowledge of the local area was invaluable. Scott was exactly what we needed in a realtor, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him!

We hired Scott to sell our 1897 Arts and Crafts house primarily because of his reputation in handling historic homes. Although we had heard good things about Scott, I was frankly surprised at his attention to detail and the amount of work he put into the sales process. He researched the history of our house and the people who lived in it, and made it part of the marketing effort. Scott advised us how to show our house to its best advantage and had amazing pictures taken. When issues came up, he jumped in and was proactive in resolving them. I highly recommend Scott to those looking for a Realtor that will work hard on their behalf and get the most out of the real estate sales process.

I rarely give anything a top rating but my experience with Scott was nothing short of amazing. As a wheelchair user, I had very specific needs and requirements for my home; flat lot, open layout, easy entrances and egress, safe and attractive neighborhood, proximity to my son's school, shopping, etc. Scott's knowledge of his service areas is so thorough that it narrowed our search considerably and saved time. His design sensibilities are excellent and he is able to envision what alterations are possible and their approximate costs. Although this house needed only some minor adaptations, Scott negotiated the changes into the sale price, with appropriate safeguards should the adaptations not be acceptable. The same is true for negotiating the sensitive time table between securing funds, home inspection, settlement dates, etc. His business ethics are beyond reproach. He is smart, articulate and his interpersonal skills enable him to communicate with all parties of the transaction in a friendly and congenial way. He always returned calls, emails and produced required documents immediately. I felt completely secure knowing that all my concerns were represented and addressed. In short, purchasing this home was as close to painless as buying a home could ever be!

Buying a home under the best of circumstances is not easy. Scott was the agent who sold our previous house, and then helped us to find our current home during a time when the real estate market was most difficult. His expertise and eye for detail were crucial at a time when waiving inspections and acting quickly became common practice. We couldn't have navigated this on our own, and his assistance was critical in getting the deal done.

Scott Laughlin assisted with every detail regarding the sale of my family home. He was always available, responsive, knowledgeable, and straightforward. His suggestions regarding how best to present the house to potential buyers resulted in a rapid sale. His advice during the inspection and settlement processes was timely and invaluable. He has been equally valuable during my search for a new place. Once we found it, he has provided sensible advice regarding mortgage and related topics.Once Scott helped me sell my former home, he was equally helpful in purchasing my new one. The new place was under construction and took forever to complete, due to many Covid related complications. Scott stuck with it during the whole grueling process, particularly when my own patience started to wear very thin. His help during final inspection and walk through was extremely helpful.This guy is a true pro and takes obvious pride in doing his job the right way. Given his commitment to his work, 5 stars are too few. I would recommend him to anyone.

When we were relocating some years ago, our old realtor said, 'You don't have to do anything to sell your house' and told us to list it at a high price. That realtor also just took us to see MLS listings that we found. We fired her and hired Scott. He said, 'You can't sell your house like this, you have to fix the porch and paint it, and do a few other things. Plus, you've priced it way too high.' He found us the perfect house, and it's one we never would have found -- nor would any other agent found it. Back to selling our house. The market was lousy at the time. Even though we painted the porch, etc. and reduced the price, all we got was a couple lowball offers. If we had sold at that time we'd have taken a big loss. Scott recommended we rent the house and wait for the market to rebound. We didn't want to be landlords, but Scott explained it to us, and we became landlords. A few years later, we sold the house -- the market had rebounded nicely -- and we avoided the big loss, plus we got nice rental income. Between the rental income and the market rebound, we made out nicely. When it was time to sell, we called Scott. Scott could have made more money years ago by encouraging us to cut the price and sell the house; he'd have had his commission then. But he passed up that easy money because he knew that renting would be better for us. Not to say that being a landlord is fun, but it was certainly worth the money. 10/10 would recommend.

'A home gives people a place to care about the people that mean the most to them.' I don't know who wrote this but it certainly describes what Scott Laughlin does...and he has done it for our family twice! The first time was for my husband and me, a home that was not even for sale, and just this past week for our oldest child and only son. We are beyond grateful for Scott's expertise..he knows his stuff and tells it like it is, and we are over the moon for our son who has found his little slice of heaven where everything now pivots in his favor. If you want to find a place to care for the people who mean the most to you...hire Scott Laughlin.

I recently sold my house in the Elkins Park section of Abington. When looking for a realtor to work with I considered more than one option. I decided that Scott Laughlin was the best match for me. I can say with complete confidence that I could not have made a better derision. Scott was upfront with the challenges selling my house presented and offered much welcomed advice. He communicated throughout the process via email, text,and phone calls and addressed concerns as they arose. I feel the impressive photos he took for the listing along with a great detailed description created immediate interest and the exposure on his Face book sold my house for over asking price within a week.

We hold the highest regard for Scott, and we give him a 5/5 rating. Scott brought his in depth knowledge of real estate and the real estate market to the selling of our house. He was a valued advisor at each step in the process, and he was responsive to our requests and questions. We appreciate that Scott went above and beyond to explain the selling process, guide us in putting our house on the market, and then provided information and instructions for preparation for settlement. All in all, this was a very successful sale of our home of 30 years, and Scott reduced the stress and made it as smooth and successful a process as possible.

Scott responded to our initial inquiry about one of his listings within hours over a holiday weekend, and remained as responsive and helpful after we hired him as our buyers' agent. He helped us navigate a protracted process with patience and showed us listings that were responsive to our tastes while exposing us to houses we may not have otherwise looked at. We would not hesitate to recommend Scott to anyone else looking in the Philadelphia area, especially if buying or selling an older or unique home. The only regret we have is that now that we have settled, we will miss touring beautiful old houses with someone who appreciates them as much as we do.

Scott handled everything on a timetable we had because of family issues. His acumen, competence, and experience showed from the day we called him.

We contacted Scott a few months before moving back from Japan, hoping to purchase a home in the area. From our initial conversation to settlement day, Scott ensured that the process of purchasing a home from the other side of the planet was a remarkably smooth one. Each day, we only had about 2 hours in the morning and 2 hours in the evening when our waking hours overlapped, and we were able to schedule showings, inspections, document signings, and check-in conversations during those hours.
Scott is professional, flexible, accommodating, and diligent. He is incredibly knowledgeable, and was able to guide us through the home buying process from afar, making meaningful suggestions during all phases of the transaction. We highly recommend Scott to all potential buyers looking for a professional and dedicated agent!

Scott has lots of clients in my area, and it's easy to see why. His knowledge of the local Philadelphia-area markets, his ability to stage a home for sale and the experience he brings to bear in each transaction are second to none. I have been with Scott for three transactions now, and each time is easier than the last. I definitely recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell in the area.

I chose Scott over all the realtors that I interviewed because he was brutally honest about the strengths and the weaknesses of my wonderful house. He was also realistic about the current market, what price I could expect, and what the majority of buyers are looking for. He stressed the need to declutter before listing the house and pointed out repairs I should, and should not, make to enhance a sale. 'Do not list the house until it is ready to show to its best advantage.' Scott's stunning photographs enhanced the attractive marketing of my decluttered house. And I appreciated that Scott was only the realtor for the seller, me, keeping my interests foremost in the negotiating process for the successful sale.

We were represented by Scott in our first home buying experience this winter. He diligently, patiently, and expertly helped us find the right home for us. This was a special accomplishment because what we wanted changed as we learned more about the local market and types of homes/construction available in our geographic search areas. We are also more detail oriented than your average buyer- Scott was able to acquire and provide all of the information we needed on houses and even town codes to enable us to make decisions on houses and ultimately on our dream, purchased, house. We have no family in the area and I found Scott by cold calling a handful of realtors, meeting with a few, and choosing Scott because he seemed (an then was!) great to work with due to his professionalism, knowledge of the area, and expertise in communicating promptly and effectively with sellers. Can't say enough good things about our experience working with Scott.

The sale of my home was unique from beginning to end and Scott handled everything excellently! He explained all details and patiently guided me through the processes which is important for a first-time seller. His attention to details is extraordinary. He is extremely responsive and only minutes away by phone or email anytime of the day or night and even while he is out-of-town. He prepared a sales brochure of beautiful pictures and a history of the house that was exceptional and very touching. He reached out to find good potential buyers --- all the time having my best interests in mind. In the end, I gained a new friend and can/will highly recommend him to anyone selling their home. Scott has to be one of the best realtors in the country!

We are so happy Scott came into our lives when searching for a home. He had the uncanny knack of knowing what we wanted even as we were unsure. It isn't easy to move to another state after fifteen years in one place. We were also coming up to a different phase of life and Scott helped us look forward to what we would need in the future. (We are becoming empty nesters.) Scott's knowledge of many local areas is outstanding. He helped us find an area encompassing all of our needs. Scott deftly navigated bidding, negotiating and closing processes. Even after closing on the house, Scott was there for us when we had questions or needed recommendations. We count him as a friend.

When we decided to list our home in Spring 2022, we knew we would need an experienced, dedicated real estate agent to guide us through the process. We raised our family in this home and enjoyed and meticulously cared for it for 26 years. We chose Scott because of his expertise in historic and older homes. While our home was not officially registered as a historic home, it is over 150 years and is part of Charlestown Township's (Chester county) history. Scott searched through local records and found some interesting facts about the first owner/builder as well as information about the families that lived in the house. We enjoyed learning this information and it added some fun to an otherwise stressful process. Scott was always available and helpful with the transactional details. We really appreciated his talent, guidance and recommendations. Scott is very personable, easy to work with and extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of real estate. We look forward to working with Scott as we look for our next home.

Scott Laughlin is a brilliant agent. From the very beginning he was professional, gracious, knowledgeable -- wise, even -- and endlessly helpful. His honest advice at the very start about what we would need to do to prepare the house for listing was modest but exactly right. Indeed, his honesty is one of his great gifts. His suggestions about pricing arose from wide experience. In every decision he gave us good advice, but he also left us quite free. His photographs were beautifully done as was the brochure he prepared. Throughout the process he was always available for our questions, either answering right away or calling or emailing back nearly immediately. If you are looking to sell or buy a house in the greater Philadelphia are, Scott is your man.

Scott is an amazing realtor. He was the listing realtor when we bought our house and we were so impressed that we hired him to sell our house when the time came.
He understands - and shares - the emotional attachment we have to our home and was able to sensitively recommend 'improvements' we needed to make to show our home at its best. He designed and implemented a marketing plan that worked quickly. Scott sold our unusual historic home in a matter of weeks sparing us a summer of showings.
Scott understands the mechanics of buying and selling a home and his negotiation skills are outstanding. He knew when to tell us to back down and when to assert our priorities. I couldn't be happier with the contract he negotiated for us.
Scott was also there for us - emotionally and physically - during a difficult move (we were downsizing from a large home to an RV!) I can't promise this to all his clients but he literally showed up in shorts and a t-shirt to pack boxes when we were desperate on settlement day. He was also incredibly responsive under more normal circumstances. He was always available quickly via phone, text and email.
Whether you are buying or selling, Scott is an expert who will help you with the practical aspects of your transition. More than that, he will help you will the stressful emotional aspects that are part of any real estate transaction. We can't thank him enough for all of his help and support.

Scott was terrific to work with when we were looking for a new home. He took all of our requirements into consideration. He provided valuable input into the pros and cons of different properties, both in how a particular property would meet our specific needs and in how different features could affect resale value in the future.I think we ended up with a great house at a great price, which only happened because he was constantly 'on the lookout' for properties for us and caught one just as it came on the market. We are very happy with our purchase and with the help & support that Scott provided.

Scott Laughlin is a highly skilled professional in real estate. His knowledge of the market, both local and beyond, is extensive. His negotiating skills are excellent. Ask a question and he knows the answer immediately, which gives the seller confidence and reassurance that he or she is working with an experienced agent. He is friendly and understands that buying or selling a house is a major undertaking for most people, financially or psychologically. He responds to phone calls or emails immediately and is always on time for appointments.

I can't recommend Scott enough for listing agent. This was my first time selling a house and from the very first time meeting him, he had my absolute confidence that he was the right person. He came to the first visit already prepared with market analysis, comps, and a prelim asking price range that was right in the sweet spot I was looking for. He moved quickly and confidently at all times, but was always willing to slow down and explain a part of this new process to me. His responsiveness was incredible. Whether phone, text, or email, he was always right there, but never pushy at all. We were fortunate to be listing during a strong sellers market, so I wasn't too concerned about it actually selling, and selling fairly quickly. But with Scott's leadership we were able to list at a price higher than I was hoping for, and got an offer for asking price within just of few days on market. Scott guided us through a bit of scare during inspection and ultimately through a smooth closing process. He even offered to donate to a charity of our choice after closing. I was immediately impressed with how comfortable Scott was in his knowledge. He projected the confidence of an agent whose done this a million times but I never once got the sense that my modest listing was being pushed aside for a bigger and better listing. It's cliche but it truly felt like I was his only client. Go with Scott, you won't regret it.

When it came time to list our home, we thought that Scott was the best agent for the task. He was the agent for the seller when we originally bought it, and we felt that he had the most experience with the neighborhood and architectural style of the property. We were not disappointed. Scott has considerable knowledge of the historical aspects of the region and helped us navigate through a challenging selling season after the Covid-19 pandemic upended everything from schools to sports to real estate. He pays attention to details and has access to a large pool of contractors and consultants who can answer specific questions dealing with historical homes. This is indispensable when dealing with a house that is over 100 years old. Scott also never loses sight of the big picture when dealing with the details.

In August 2011 I first met Scott. By December 2011 I was not only calling Scott my go-to real estate agent for my new home purchase, I was also calling Scott my friend. No question was too silly, no call too late to answer, no house too far to set up an appointment to see. Buying a house is one of the more stressful undertakings one will endure.

I highly recommend Scott for your realtor. He made the whole sales experience pleasant. Scott has great ideas and an eye for detail. He kept on top of every challenge. We couldn't have accomplished the sale without him.

My sister and I are co-executors for our parents’ estate. I live in Maryland, she is local. If you’re anything like us, when you’re interviewing realtors to sell your family home, you’re looking for more than someone who can list your property. You want someone who can see the beauty in the bones of an old home, who can look beyond the aging infrastructure to see the future potential, and successfully communicate that vision to buyers. We needed someone to guide us through the process. Scott was all that, and more...much more. Though we interviewed several realtors, it was clear that Scott was going to be the one to meet our needs. He laid out a timeline and explained his marketing strategies, but most of all he convinced us that he was going to be all-in on the process. Scott’s guidance began as he walked my sister around the property and through the house, room by room, explaining what needed to be done to make the house show well. He detailed exactly what needed to be removed, and later helped her stage the house. Scott scheduled his prefered photographer for interior and exterior shots, and his drone operator and photographer for aerial shots. When we saw the photographs, the 3-D Matterport walk through tour and the aerial shots we were stunned. The house had never looked more beautiful! Scott really excels when crafting a narrative to describe the house. He draws from its history and connects it to the future with a new owner. He really brought our house to life. He clearly loves “beautiful old houses.” We welcomed Scott’s advice when setting a listing price. We really appreciated his input and advice when comparing and negotiating offers as they came in. We hit a major snag when trying to sell. The house shares a portion of its driveway with the neighbors. Several of the potential buyers asked if there was an easement for the shared portion. Astonishingly, through multiple sales of the property over more than a hundred years, an easement had never been filed. Scott masterfully steered us through the very complex process of obtaining an easement for the portion of the driveway we shared with the nextdoor neighbors. The process was complicated by the fact that the shared portion was actually a section of an uncompleted/unopened road dating back to the early 1900s. It was a situation new to Scott (and everyone we talked to), but he dug in to understand it and coordinated the process with us, engineers, surveyors, buyers, neighbors and a local attorney to get the easement completed and filed on time before settlement. Accessibility and responsiveness were also important to us. We wanted someone who would answer our emails and return our calls. Scott responded with astonishing speed, good humor and patience. He was patient with our endless questions and unbothered by having to deal with us--two co-executors in two different states. Scott Laughlin has earned my absolute, unqualified endorsement.

We were aware of Scott's expertise in real estate and his local knowledge of the market from having read his monthly property analyses. So when it came time to sell, we contacted him to be our agent. We were not disappointed! From the first contact he walked us through the process with great skill and compassion. The compassion part was important because there were a lot of bumps in the road (at least to us) and he was like a shock absorber keeping things moving forward at all times. It was like he didn't have other clients and we were his primary concern. This included lots of personal attention because we were traveling a lot and there was a need for things to be checked on at the house with all the storms this winter. As an agent, he is knowledgeable and highly skilled as a negotiator. We definitely got the sale we wanted and we owe it all to Scott. We have decided to adopt him!

Moving from one home to another is troublesome but then add doing it from Miami to Philly and you just open a can of ugly worms. Lucky for us we found Scott from the internet and could not be happier with everything.
Contacted Scott from his amazing web page he created for the house we purchased. Before arriving into Philly he kepted us advised of all new listings and updates on current ones. Since we only had a few days in the city, he planned out a schedule enabling us to the most veiwing in a small period of time. In the end, it was the first house I view online with his created web page. Guess I was already sold.
Scott helped thoughout the entire process meeeting inspectors, roofers and repairmen as we were back in Florida trying to sell our home. Must say, everything extremly well all due to his expertise in his industry of real-estate. He was there of us for the entire process including after closing with questions about the neighbors, painters and dining. He is the real deal!! Thanks Scott!!

I enthusiastically endorse Scott as a buyer's agent. He is knowledgeable about the entire Philadelphia region, and is a patient, hard-working, sensitive agent with great communication skills and stellar integrity. I can't imagine a better experience than we had with him. We not only heartily recommend him to others; we feel we have a friend for life.

We contacted Scott a few months before moving back from Japan, hoping to purchase a home in the area. From our initial conversation to settlement day, Scott ensured that the process of purchasing a home from the other side of the planet was a remarkably smooth one. Each day, we only had about 2 hours in the morning and 2 hours in the evening when our waking hours overlapped, and we were able to schedule showings, inspections, document signings, and check-in conversations during those hours. Scott is professional, flexible, accommodating, and diligent. He is incredibly knowledgeable, and was able to guide us through the home buying process from afar, making meaningful suggestions during all phases of the transaction. We highly recommend Scott to all potential buyers looking for a professional and dedicated agent!

Scott did a wonderful job of helping me buy my first home during the end of 2020, a very difficult year! He helped me and my partner find a home we loved and could afford, and put together an incredibly compelling offer that beat out higher offers, but one we still felt safe making. He navigated a very quick closing and several hurdles including the courthouse being hacked, and we closed on Christmas Eve. Scott did a really excellent job, guided us through the process the entire way with experience and insight, and I truly don't think another realtor would have made it happen in such a timely, comfortable manner. If you want a realtor that will make you feel confident in your future home purchase, pick Scott Laughlin!

Scott was extremely responsive and professional throughout the buying process. He is especially knowledgable about the neighborhoods and does a fantastic job connecting people. He has also given us multiple referrals for contractors. I would not hesitate to use him again down the road if we ever move but know I can count on him for more than just a sale.

Scott was attentive and patient, as I waited for just the right house. He took me to see every house I requested, even those about which he was skeptical! His experience and insights were valuable, helping me to make choices that would distinguish my offers from other potential buyers' offers. Scott also helped me keep perspective as mortgage rates began to rise.

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Scott over the past 2+ years in the search of our first home in the suburbs. We jumped around location prospects in PA and finally settled in Bucks County. Scott was knowledgeable about each county that we explored and each house that popped up that we had interest in. He was always available to see something the next day or as soon as possible which, in this market, was critical to getting the house we wanted. We landed in Chalfont, PA in a beautiful mid-century modern home and couldn't have gotten there without Scott's knowledge of the areas and of old homes. We recommend him highly for anyone looking for their next home and the next after that.

The consummate professional, Scott Laughlin introduced himself to my husband and me years before we were ready to put our home on the market, sending us beautifully crafted electronic and printed messages about the housing market in our area. He was knowledgeable and informative, inspiring great confidence, so that when the time came for us to sell our home of 37 years, he stood out among many fine realtors who also approached us for our business. We invited him to present a proposal for selling our home and he came armed with stacks of statistics on our area and beautiful brochures he had created for other sellers. He also brought glowing testimonials from satisfied clients and clear evidence of his recent, impressive track record in home sales. Before we even listed with him he gave us a room by room assessment of our home and property in which he advised us to perform updates, de-clutter, and generally stage the house, informed by his artist’s eye and vast experience with today’s buyers. He marketed himself so compellingly to us, we could only imagine how his gift for promotion would translate into selling our home. We told him we would undertake his recommended upgrades (floor refinishing, wallpaper removal, reducing the amount of furniture) and be ready to list the following spring.
In the middle of this project, my husband became terminally ill and died, leaving me to carry on the work of staging the house and listing it for sale by myself. Two months after my husband’s death, I contacted Scott and said I would like to execute our plan to sell. He was exceptionally helpful in walking me through the process as a recent widow, sitting with me literally for hours as we prepared the disclosure statement, item by item. During this process I learned that in addition to being talented expert in aesthetics (he told me where to move furniture and hang pictures to create a pleasing first impression) he was also scrupulously detail oriented regarding finances, numbers, and the legal issues associated with selling a home. His vast experience informed every conversation.
Once our home went on the market, the market became dismally and unexpectedly quiet, resulting in many months with very few showings and lukewarm interest in a home and property Scott so lovingly presented with beautiful descriptive copy and photographs in printed brochures, postcards and electronic media.
Scott was discouraged and somewhat mystified by the unexpected downturn in the market in our neighborhood. He worked hard to speculate what the reasons were and did not give up. After nine months on the market with very little activity and one abysmally low offer, and despite several open houses, interest started to pick up. I wrote a companion piece to his formal brochure, a message to prospective buyers titled “Beyond What You Can See” about the intangibles of the neighborhood and community, schools, services, culture and people who made our street unique. Scott encouraged me to write even more, creating a “story” that would touch the buyer’s heart, reminding me that I could write things that realtors were not allowed to talk about. The day I put the new and improved essay out on the dining room table, two prospective buyers came through and wanted the house, badly. A coincidence? Maybe. I received two offers in the same day. Scott presented each one to me, patiently reviewing every detail of each offer including likelihood of qualifying for a mortgage, terms regarding the home inspection, mortgage commitment dates, settlement dates, etc. He helped me to weigh the relative risks and advantages of each offer in addition to the bottom line price. This was delicate work. I watched him encourage me to consider ever aspect of each offer without trying to influence me one way or another. There was an extremely time consuming 48 hours in which both buyers considered and responded to my counters offers. Scott worked around the clock to keep both offers alive so that I could choose the best one, working with each of the buyer’s realtors, communicating openly and honestly with each and making each one aware there was another offer on the table. It is here that Scott’s solid ethical stance shone through. He was all business, calm, patient and thorough.
Although no realtor has control of a particular market, a good realtor knows how to leverage opportunity. This is what Scott did for me so that I could choose between two very good offers. Once I made my choice he was willing to convey my appreciation to the realtor whose client’s offer I did not accept, making the whole transaction professional on all sides. Another challenge arose when the buyer’s chosen mortgage company sent an appraiser who was ignorant of our market and gave an appraisal that was egregiously below the value of my home and comparable homes. Scott offered to personally pay for a second appraisal, which may have saved the deal and also created enormous good will.

Scott is incredibly knowledgable and responsive. He is just terrific. You want to have him in your corner when you are doing a transaction. He gives great advice based on local market conditions (not just what you want to hear - really, what's best given the current situation). He sold my house in less than two weeks, and then was there every step of the way to make sure we had a smooth transaction. I would work with him again in a second. He's amazing!

Scott Laughlin is a brilliant agent. From the very beginning he was professional, gracious, knowledgeable -- wise, even -- and endlessly helpful. His honest advice at the very start about what we would need to do to prepare the house for listing was modest but exactly right. Indeed, his honesty is one of his great gifts. His suggestions about pricing arose from wide experience. In every decision he gave us good advice, but he also left us quite free. His photographs were beautifully done as was the brochure he prepared. Throughout the process he was always available for our questions, either answering right away or calling or emailing back nearly immediately. If you are looking to sell or buy a house in the greater Philadelphia are, Scott is your man.

We recently sold our beloved home in West Chester, Pa. Our home had a unique personality and Scott was able capture that in his advertising materials. He worked hard to spread the word about our listing utilizing social media and mailings. He has been responsive to our questions and in keeping us mindful of our responsibilities in this process. Our home sold very quickly in large part to the efforts of Scott. We highly recommend him to represent you in the sale or purchase of your home!

We were represented by Scott in our first home buying experience this winter. He diligently, patiently, and expertly helped us find the right home for us. This was a special accomplishment because what we wanted changed as we learned more about the local market and types of homes/construction available in our geographic search areas. We are also more detail oriented than your average buyer- Scott was able to acquire and provide all of the information we needed on houses and even town codes to enable us to make decisions on houses and ultimately on our dream, purchased, house.
We have no family in the area and I found Scott by cold calling a handful of realtors, meeting with a few, and choosing Scott because he seemed (an then was!) great to work with due to his professionalism, knowledge of the area, and expertise in communicating promptly and effectively with sellers. Can't say enough good things about our experience working with Scott.

My wife and I were introduced to Scott as the best real estate agent in our area and we certainly agree. Scott's suggestions on everything from minor changes in our furniture arrangements to full staging of our house resulted in a sale in only 5 days, and we had two offers! Scott provided excellent advice in our post home inspection negotiations for were of great help. He also made sure that contractual obligations by the buyers were observed and met.
We cannot recommend Scott enough. If you have a house to sell in the Chestnut Hill area, Scott is your man.

Scott is the consummate professional. He is above board in every respect. His standards are of the highest caliber and he expects that from his clients. At no time have I ever questioned a recommendation or a decision Scott has made; I have been fortunate to have him represent me in two sales and one purchase.Scott's knowledge of every aspect of the business side of his profession is outstanding. He is fair, thorough and honest. In addition, Scott loves what he does and is keenly interested in making sure his clients find exactly what home will make their hearts sing. He is a rare professional and raises the bar for everyone else. Scott is a tireless and first-rate representative and I give him the highest recommendation.

I could NOT have asked for a better realtor! Scott is extremely knowledgeable, honest, professional, and as genuine as they come. He really is everything you want when buying a home.

Without Scott we would not have found our beautiful home. Scott took the time to get to know us and what we wanted in our new home. Scott worked tirelessly seeking out the houses he knew met our criteria. Scott is a true professional.

You simply can't go wrong!

Without Scott my wife and I would not currently be living our dream home. Scott was sure to get us in to see our home and prepare and help us make the offer (an offer that would be accepted) on the day it hit the market. But this was not enough because a second slightly higher offer was also made. We prevailed and got our home anyway because of Scott's savvy and sensitivity to other issues that might appeal to the sellers (and they did!) if they were to accept our offer. Scott is simply the best!

After looking for a house for two years, we heard about Scott and contracted with him. We’d nearly given up on getting what we really wanted, and decided we’ll “settle” for a house we weren’t all that happy with. Scott’s reaction each time was, “But do you love the house?” The answer was always no. Instead of nudging us into something that wasn’t right for us, he was hinting, “don’t buy this house. We can continue to look. Don’t worry.”
Our dream house actually turned up one day. We weren’t the only ones who nurtured the same dream: 16 buyers wanted it, and a “bidding war” ensued. How could we prevail against other enthusiastic bidders?
The answer is Scott’s strategic thinking; he knew what would work and thus we got the house. We’re even more thrilled with it than we had hoped.
The dozens of other five star reviews say pretty much the same thing—professionalism, ethics, sensitivity, deep knowledge of the market and, rather than repeat them—they’re all true--I’ll add these three: Scott routinely spotted defects and design difficulties in houses, and always pointed them out to me. I would likely have missed them, as each house is a lot to take in. Second, he could envision, architecturally, what it’d take to make a so-so house much better and what that might cost. Third, he was so fast at responding to our text messages & emails, that it became a joke: could he get his response time below 12 seconds?
If you need a buyer’s agent for a dream house and you are exhausted and at wits’ end with the search, contract with Scott Laughlin.

From day one, Scott’s expertise was evident and his guidance on preparing our home for sale was invaluable. Scott took the time to understand us and to capture the strengths of our home, conveying its uniqueness effectively to buyers in words, photos, and a virtual tour. His advice about timing the listing, his wisdom in setting the price, and his ability to leverage social media resulted in multiple offers - all above the asking price - in just three days of showings. Throughout the selling process, Scott helped us understand what needed to happen next, thoroughly explained the pros and cons at each decision point, and fully supported our choices. It was a pleasure to work with Scott and we could not recommend him more highly.

Scott was professional, conscientious, knowledgeable, and worked hard in my behalf. His response time to all my questions, through e-mail and phone calls, was always timely. Scott appreciated the character of my home, and knew I needed a buyer who would be a good caretaker of it. His knowledge of the selling of old historic properties was invaluable. When looking for a new home, Scott listened to my needs and wants. Especially in the area of charm. I felt he understood me at every turn. I would not hesitate in referring Scott to anyone selling, or buying, both a new, or old home.

We chose Scott because we feel he knows the area well, has a solid reputation, has quite a bit of experience, is knowledgable of the process, and has a well-developed marketing strategy. He assisted with the staging of the house, had very specific ideas for how the house should show, and took extraordinarily good photos of the house and yard. And from the photos he created attractive and effective brochures and postcard mailers. He was responsive through the process, which was particularly helpful as we were out of the state for a long time.

Scott Laughlin assisted with every detail regarding the sale of my family home. He was always available, responsive, knowledgeable, and straightforward. His suggestions regarding how best to present the house to potential buyers resulted in a rapid sale. His advice during the inspection and settlement processes was timely and invaluable. He has been equally valuable during my search for a new place. Once we found it, he has provided sensible advice regarding mortgage and related topics. Once Scott helped me sell my former home, he was equally helpful in purchasing my new one. The new place was under construction and took forever to complete, due to many Covid related complications. Scott stuck with it during the whole grueling process, particularly when my own patience started to wear very thin. His help during final inspection and walk through was extremely helpful. This guy is a true pro and takes obvious pride in doing his job the right way. Given his commitment to his work, 5 stars are too few. I would recommend him to anyone.

Not sure what outside force brought Scott my way, but I am very lucky it did. When my parents died, I was left with the enormous and overwhelming task of clearing out and selling their historic home in Pennsylvania. In the throes of trying to figure out what to do, I received a brochure from Scott in the mail. The mailing gave me my first sense of his appreciation for old homes and his ability to present houses in their best light. I set up a meeting and from that initial point of contact onward, Scott demonstrated that he was the perfect person to represent the house and guide it to its new chapter. Efficient, knowledgable, and sympathetic to the challenges presented by the situation, Scott made me feel like I was his only client (which is far from the case) and thoughtfully aided me through each step of the process. He answered every text, email, and call - even responding on-site to an errant, early morning fire alarm. From the start, he knew that the home would not be for just any buyer, but for the right buyer. With beautiful collateral materials, a research-rich write up, and a lovely website, we found exactly the right people to purchase the home. I would not hesitate to recommend Scott to anyone. His expertise and attention to detail are truly above and beyond.
