"I am a first time home buyer and I was super anxious about the entire process. Scotty guided me perfectly through each step, is patient yet persistent. He has a style that is amicable, calm, and he is quite easy to work with. He is always available to help with even the smallest question or problem. I am so glad that I had Scotty to guide me through the process. He is terrific!."
"Scotty Elynow is an absolute GEM!! We got lucky - while selling our San Francisco home and looking to purchase in NYC, our SF Compass relator recommended Scotty as the "GO TO" agent in the West Village. In all the many years we’ve been buying/selling our homes (10 times) TRUST is the most important character trait we look for in a Real Estate agent. And Scotty is someone to be trusted.
A little note to express a HUGE thanks to Scotty for guiding us in finding our first NY purchase. From beginning to the end, Scotty was right there with us taking us to the first open house look-see right through to a smooth closing. If it wasn’t for Scotty, we would not have found our apt. He took the time and educated us with a light touch and that made all the difference. While we had interest in “a good building” Scotty steered us to great/very well run building. He just knew. Scotty listened to what we actually wanted not just what we “thought” we wanted.
Scotty’s incredible knowledge of this neighborhood is amazing! And he knows everyone! We walk by a cafe, the owner stops and says hi! Walking down another street we stumbled upon a neighborhood resident saying hi and telling us “you’re in good hands”. All the little things that equal a “WOW, we got lucky that Scotty is our realtor.”
We can’t thank Scotty enough for finding us out forever home, in a neighborhood we adore!! We’re so happy!" - New West Village Residents in 2022
"Purchasing a condo in New York City is stressful under normal circumstances. Throw in a global pandemic, a financial meltdown, a city lockdown, and the level of anxiety skyrockets. In addition, as Canadians, we were totally unfamiliar with the process of purchasing and closing on a property in the USA. This was our situation. Scott Elyanow broker from the firm of Compass guided us through every step on this journey with the utmost professionalism, knowledge, honesty, and patience. Scott is a very experienced broker who responded immediately to all of our questions and concerns. He supported us with his wise counsel but never imposed pressure upon us. He paid attention to details and had creative solutions for unforeseen situations. He is well connected and puts us in touch with excellent lawyers. We could not have successfully navigated this foreign terrain or closed on our condo without his expertise and support. We would highly recommend his services and happily give him 5 stars." - Allison, Elayne & Jeremy F.

"As a first-time homebuyer, Scotty is an incredible real estate agent. Throughout the entire home-buying process, he demonstrated exceptional professionalism and made the journey seamless for me. He was not only responsive but also very attentive to all the questions and concerns I had. His knowledge and expertise in the real estate market were instrumental in finding the perfect home for me, situated in an amazing neighborhood. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to assist me in purchasing a home.
What truly sets Scotty apart is his genuine approach—being a "human first, real estate second" person. He genuinely cares for his clients, going above and beyond to ensure their satisfaction. Scotty's dedication and client-centric attitude make him a standout professional in the real estate industry. Without hesitation, I highly recommend Scotty to anyone in need of a reliable and caring realtor, and I’m very grateful to have had him by my side throughout this process." - Daniel
His proudest achievements are his loyal and repeat clients and his 20 years of volunteering locally. Prior to NYC, Scott lived in Los Angeles working under a top music producer dealing with A-List artists. He has studied acting and voiceovers for several years in Florida, LA, and NYC. 95% of Scott's business is referrals and generations of the same family have transacted through him, his most humbling validation. Scott is a West Village resident, and a Boston area native with family in NYC and all over the US. His interests include live music, jazz, guitar, technology, film, documentaries, NPR, PBS, and travel. He is also an active member of the Greenwich Village Historical Society, the Christopher Street Park Alliance, The Center, The Charles Street Association, The Elm Project, and was a member of the Big Brother program. Helping build a strong, friendly, safe, and diverse community is of utmost importance to Scotty and he lives by the same values. Respect for the client, ethics, and integrity will always be his guiding principle.
