Scott Straus - Better Homes & Gardens Real Estate

Scott did a great job finding houses that fit what we were looking for. He was very knowledgeable of the area we were looking in. He kept us updated and informed during our search and helped us through the closing. He and his team did a fantastic job and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor.

Scott did a great job in navigating us through our sales process. We were selling our condo in Wrigleyville remotely (we live in Texas), and Scott was incredibly helpful in making trips into the city to handle whatever in-person responsibilities were necessary. He coordinated a light remodel including finding awesome local vendors at a good price, managing their access to the unit and ensuring they did a great job. We had some late damage that occurred to the unit (in the middle of negotiations) and Scott was able to assess and guide us through appropriate next steps to make it a non-issue.

Most of all, I appreciated Scott's communication. I could tell from our first conversation that good communication was a priority for him, and is what ultimately led me to work with him. Selling remotely causes additional and unforeseen anxieties, and I really appreciated the quick, detailed communication. He was NEVER too busy to hop on the phone to discuss strategy or provide updates.

Clearly, I would HIGHLY recommend engaging Scott to selling your property!

Scott was an awesome realtor! I was looking for reputable realtors to purchase my first home, and found Scott at Better Homes and Gardens; Scott was so responsive with emails, phone calls, texts, and always made my fiancé and I feel empowered during the home-buying process. We never felt dumb asking Scott any questions, he was very personable, knowable, and fun to work with. There were multiple times where I texted Scott outside of work hours, and within minutes got a response from him-he works very hard for his clients. Scott's model is to do his best for clients and give them his infectious personality, hard-work, and overall self in order to help buyers get the home they want. I couldn't recommend a better realtor for anyone at any age, any level of home buying experience, Scott rocks!

Five stars, highly recommend!

Scott was a fantastic rep throughout the whole process, all the way up to and including our closing date - when he went so far as to help us move in some furniture that had arrived early!

Highly responsive, endlessly patient, and all-around easy-going. We're thrilled with the home we ended up with... and it's all thanks to Scott!

Scott was awesome! We had a strict timeline due to a rent increase on our apartment - only 60 days to find a home and close. Scott made it happen with weeks to spare. He was always available to help answer any questions we had throughout the whole process and really made buying a house as stress-free as I think it could have been. This was my first home purchase and I couldn't be more satisfied with our experience. I will recommend him to everyone!
