"Scott impressed us with his cerebral and fact-based approach to the realities of the Toronto market, but really wowed us with his ability to understand our specific needs and use them to find us a number of suitable candidates in our house hunt. But he didn't stop there - when the purchase was underway, he was instrumental in navigating the process, helped up handle a few surprise findings during our inspection and helped us get the price down accordingly. Then post-sale, he even helped up in several ways get ready for the work needing to be done on the house. It was such a great experience, end-to-end - we were almost sad when it was over and will definitely work with Scott again."

I’m not one to write letters of recommendation or to advocate on behalf of any business. But in Scott’s case I make an exception.
 
My partner describes him as a “real estate specialist who exceeds every metric and deliverable.” True. But, let me state it plainly. Scott and his team are the best.
 
Following a friend’s suggestion I agreed to meet with Scott and his colleague Ian Busher. Scott came well-prepared, sharing a vast amount of historical data, but aided by his business and accounting background he walked me through the numbers in a relatable way. Scott and Ian laid out a clear path forward as to how to best prepare, market, and sell my house, carefully considering why and where I needed to spend money on upgrades and where I did not and most importantly how each would pay off.
 
We shook hands, and Scott and Ian stepped up – providing a clear work back plan as to who would do what when, and they coordinated everything with my contractor. They both rolled up their sleeves to get every last nook of our property looking its best. (Scott bought a power washer just to brighten the basement entrance, and my neighbour even reported seeing him picking up the winter’s dog poop in my backyard – talk about above and beyond!)
 
Thanks to Scott’s historical research, media relationships, and tireless work ethic, my home became a Globe and Mail Home of the Week that garnered eight offers and sold for 25% over the asking price. Selling my house of thirty years was a very difficult decision but Scott’s confidence, rigor, and honesty throughout made it seamless.
 
With Scott Ingram you’ll get objective analysis buttressed by hard data and keen business acumen, but more than that, you’ll get a real estate agent of impeccable character and integrity. I cannot recommend him highly enough. FIVE out of FIVE.

"I've known Scott Ingram for a couple years as he contributed data-oriented content to a real estate news site that I operated, and his analytic expertise and comfort with crunching numbers sold me on working with him right away even though that was two years ago and I was nowhere near ready to enter the market.

I dislike 'sales'-oriented realtors and find them untrustworthy. Scott is the opposite of that, perhaps even a bit overly cautious. His background as a Chartered Accountant is obviously a huge asset vs. what you typically get from a realtor as he's always thinking about what constitutes a good value vs. how much he can talk his clients into spending. Worth every penny of his commission."

I had followed Scott Ingram for a few years on Twitter and appreciated his candor and insights about the Toronto real estate market. I liked his objective analysis and felt comfortable he would support us throughout the process.
 
Scott was able to negotiate us an incredible price and used his data-driven approach to underscore why we were on solid footing. He went above and beyond throughout the selection process to find insights about the status of condo corporations, local sales trends and other considerations that we would not have been able to uncover and properly consider otherwise.
 
Scott was incredibly gracious with his time and even negotiated the final terms of our deal while on a long weekend trip.

“Scott was amazing to deal with. He always backed his opinions on data and was never too pushy about our decision. He gave us all the information (and sometimes more than we could handle :p) and gave us our space to make an independent decision.
 
In a crazy volatile market, with record low condo sales, we managed to sell quickly and at a reasonable price that we agreed on, and with minimal hassle when we were in a different city. That is quite amazing, and it was all thanks to Scott!

Scott brought deep knowledge, helpful resources and thoughtful analysis to our search for a home. He helped make one of the biggest decisions in our lives much more easy to navigate. My daughter had fun playing hide and seek with him too. He was very effective and helped us get a great home. We would work with Scott again in a heartbeat.

"Scott Ingram is the best real estate agent! We really appreciate his no-nonsense approach to real estate and the fact that he takes the time to educate his clients on the Toronto real estate market. After our first meeting with Scott, we felt like we had secret insider knowledge into the Toronto real estate market and were confident moving forward with our goal of purchasing a new home. Scott is always very thorough and when we were interested in a property he promptly gave us an analysis of the home, neighbourhood and comparable sales. When we found the house we wanted Scott got it done within 24 hours. He came up with an excellent strategy, gave us a ridiculously thorough rundown of all sales in the neighbourhood (at 12am) and we knew exactly what to offer on the home. Thanks to Scott we have closed on our dream home at the right price. Another noteworthy mention regarding Scott is how relatable he is. There were absolutely no sales gimmicks involved (flashy cars, expensive suits, silly pitches) - only a person who is clearly passionate about the work he does and has the expertise/ knowlegde to get the job done in a friendly and comfortable manner. We highly recommend Scott to anyone looking to buy or sell a home."

"As a new real estate investor, I was looking for an agent who was highly analytical, knowledgeable, and focused. Scott Ingram fulfilled all of my requirements and more! Scott educated me on the specifics of the real estate market and empowered me to make decisions based on all of the facts when weighing the pros and cons of a potential deal. Scott is very professional, attentive to detail and very easy to work with. He responded quickly to every email, gave me great advice, and got me the condo I was looking for at the best price. He works hard for his clients and gets results!"

Scott was conscientious, detail oriented and used his great instincts to ensure that I ended up with the best deal possible on my new home.
 
Scott was definitely there for me throughout the buying process and was always available to discuss any ideas or concerns I had. He's a pleasure to work with.

Scott did a great job throughout the process of selling my loft. He gave me excellent advice and even managed to secure me a Toronto Life condo of the week feature. His thorough research and stats really helped understand and get on board with his recommended sales strategy and made me feel confident that it would be effective. And it was. I was happy with every aspect of my experience with Scott and Century 21.

Scott went above & beyond to close the deal. Given that the selling & closing process took place while I was away from Toronto, it made for a process that was much smoother than expected.

As first time homebuyers, Scott was invaluable. We were completely new to the process, and Scott patiently walked us through every step. He helped us feel calm as we embarked on what could have been a stressful experience.
 
He worked hard to understand our needs (and help us define exactly what we wanted). Scott made sure we were aware of our options, and provided frank and insightful assessments of properties. When it came to negotiations, Scott gave shrewd advice, backed up by his wealth of experience and strong data insights. On top of all that, he was great and affable company as we toured properties around the city.

Scott exceeded our expectations in every way. He is a conscientious, interested and positive person to work with. He made us feel like we were his priority. His hard work made a significant difference in our sale experience.

"I was referred to Scott by a mutual friend who is also a former client of Scott's. I was a first time buyer and it was my first attempt to get into the real estate market. I had been a renter for 15 years. I was really impressed with Scott's approach from our first meeting and my opinion didn't change during the several months it took for me to find a place.

Scott put in a lot of up-front work to make sure he knew exactly what I was looking for. He provided me with a detailed analysis of what was available based on my preferences and price range. All of this was well before I saw my first open house. Scott and I saw about 20 houses together - there were a lot of houses I saw online that I liked, until I saw them in person. Scott was always the first person to offer constructive feedback about places we saw based on what I told him previously.

I put in 2 offers while working with Scott - I backed out of a bidding war in the first, and made a successful offer in the second. The customer service and value Scott provided in both were exceptional. He conducted an exhaustive search of comparable sales in the area to come up with a competitive bid, without overbidding. After my first offer, I was asked to up my bid before the offer deadline. Scott was the first to say that doing so would likely be overpaying for the property, so I walked.

Scott performed similarly exhaustive research during my second bid which was successful.

I couldn't be happier with the service I received, and I would recommend Scott without hesitation."

"Scott has given me sound real estate advice for years and it's been wonderful to work with him on the sale of my home. His data driven approach gives you confidence that you are making fact-based decisions. During an emotionally charged process, Scott's is a voice of reason and challenges you to step back and look at the bigger picture. With Scott's help, we were able to sell our house in under 2 days on market for the price we wanted."

Scott was awesome. He was super easy to deal with and always keen to look at houses and discuss potential options. He was always digging for more info and conducting additional research which was both insightful and helpful, but also demonstrated that he was actively working on our potential purchases and giving our situation a lot of thought. He's a great number cruncher, and has a deep understanding of the housing market. A+++
