Scott Joffe

★★★★★
"We had the pleasure of working with Scott on the sale of our home, the sale of a residential lot and the purchase of our new home. Each sale had issues that we could never have overcome without Scott. His guidance was invaluable as well as his contacts in the industry. Besides working through the issues, Scott managed to get excellent offers and contracts within weeks of the initial listings. We were well informed throughout the process and Scott consistently deciphered the legalese involved. We have made a friend for life and will recommend Scott to anyone needing real estate assistance." - Kevin H.

"We had decided it was time to downsize. We had lived in our three-level house for 27 years and our knees were grumbling about the stairs. We lived in Davenport Ranch (78746). We looked for a sales agent who could: Help us achieve maximum profit from a sale within six months of listing, at 95% (or more) of the listing price - AND - where we were a reference for the agent after the transaction closed. Provide wise counsel in what we have to repair, update prior to any showing/staging Help in finding service providers for repair and staging Provide honest counsel on how we deal with any ‘problem’ area Provide clarity on likely closing costs Use their skill in securing a lease-back and evaluating trade-offs in closing the transaction After interviewing several agents, we shook hands with Scott Joffee. Now that the transaction has closed - we are thrilled we worked with him. Scott delivered on each point we were looking for - AND MORE. His pricing analysis was excellent and we sold for full list price after only one adjustment. Scott was an active participant in staging, securing contractors for repairs, and simplifying closing. Scott was always available. We took a long-scheduled trip to China after the house came on the market and Scott worked well with our house sitter to show the house. Scott arranged for a stunning marketing brochure with fabulous photographs. When our first offer was rescinded in the option period, Scott helped us recover. When we got anxious and wondered about lowering the price, Scott provided wise counsel about why the house was fairly priced. We closed the sale in less than three months and we are a strong reference for Scott. We would highly recommend him to anyone without reservation." - Steve S.

"It is always a great pleasure to work with Scott Joffe on our real estate endeavors. He is, undoubtably, the best realtor ever!" - Bryan A.

★★★★★
"Thank you SO much. We can’t tell you what a pleasure it has been working with you and getting to know you over the years. We were blessed to have met such a fine person and excellent Realtor… and it was just by your following up on our query on your website, remember?! Good karma, for sure! It’s funny, over the years we have heard about people not being thrilled with their realtor, or mistakes/oversights made by their realtor, and we said “Scott would NEVER have allowed that to happen!!” So thank you very much for that." - CB

★★★★★
"Scott Joffe was absolutely amazing to work with. I truly believe without him we wouldn't have closed on our home. We will recommend him to anyone who is looking for one of the best realtors in Austin." - David M.

★★★★★
"Scott did a great job for us again. This is the third house he's helped us with. The first was for a house we leased when we came back home to Austin from out of state. A year later, he helped us secure the Corto Ln house that he just sold for us. He did a super job in getting the house sold quickly without going to MLS. He communicated exceptionally well, which made the whole process go smoothly." - Kent

★★★★★
"This was our second time to use Scott in a real estate transaction. He did an excellent job for us in both instances. Most recently, he went the extra mile to attend every showing and as we were in our new home he handled a lot of leg work for us as well. We would definitely recommend Scott and Compass." - Nancy W.

★★★★★
"We had a wonderful experience with Scott Joffe. My husband was out of town a lot, and Scott kept us updated and went above and beyond for us. We appreciated his patience, effort, and professionalism. He was exactly what we needed in a realtor." - Katie B.

★★★★★
"My wife and I were very pleased with the level of service that Scott provided. He was personal, patient, and professional. His level of service was beyond what you typically expect from an agent. We will be recommending him to any family/friend that is pursuing real estate in the Austin area" - Jonathan C.

★★★★★
"Scott was an amazing realtor and a really nice person. He was a joy to work with!" - Kristin N.

★★★★★
"Scott spectacularly exceeded our expectations. It was an absolute pleasure working with him, and we couldn't have asked for a more informed, thoughtful, conscientious advocate. We were so grateful to have him as our Realtor and in our corner. Our property proved to be a particularly challenging one to market and to sell (my brother, who's an architect, says he doesn't think he's ever seen a more complicated/problematic house/site), and Scott was beside us every step of the way, never daunted, always eager to come up with solutions. Truth be told, I can't imagine working with any other Realtor, and I feel sorry for anyone who isn't working with Scott! We'd recommend him in a heartbeat and hope we'll have the opportunity to do so over and over again. Rachel was also simply wonderful to work with, so meticulous, kind, helpful, and patient. Between the two of them, we felt completely supported throughout the whole process. We'll always remember Scott's attentiveness, creative thinking, diligence, and wonderful attitude, and we are so grateful to him for guiding us across the finish line." - Molly S.

★★★★★
"Great work by Scott Joffe to get and close on our home in Barton Creek for over asking price. Rachel Silverman also did a good job getting our deal closed." - Steve L.

★★★★★
"Scott was an excellent real estate agent! Our home search and purchase went very smoothly because of his endeavors. His attention to detail and prompt replies to our questions and concerns impressed us. He acted professional, patient, and pleasant at all times. We would be glad to highly recommend Scott as a Realtor." - Anonymous

★★★★★
"I’ve worked with Scott before and have always found him to be friendly, professional, and a terrific problem solver. His communication is excellent, and above all, he is a great listener. I have no hesitation about recommending him to friends and colleagues, and I do, regularly." - Kirk S.

★★★★★
"We would not have been able to buy the property remotely or even if we were present in Austin without the assistance of Scott! Scott has assisted us since summer of 2018 and has always gone beyond the call of duty, was extremely patient with us, extremely professional, always available, always responsive, and provided great advice along the way. I would recommend Scott to anyone looking to buy/sell a house! What we have come to realize through this process is that it is quite challenging trying to find the right home at the right price and Scott’s endless commitment to us and the process made it possible for us! Lastly, the fact that we did not know where to start when being asked to provide feedback says it all! We were very fortunate that our paths crossed with Scott!" - Francois Jansen van Rensburg

★★★★★
"Scott came highly recommended by a trusted friend. Compared to the other Realtors we interviewed, Scott seemed to be the best listener. Selling a property for a family member at a distance is not an easy thing to do, but Scott and his team made it as easy as it could possibly be, saving me lots of time, money, and aggravation. In the end what might have been the most painful sales process in my experience turned out to be the easiest." - N.B.

★★★★★
"I valued Scott's willingness to really listen and ask clarifying questions coupled with being able and willing to find solutions to any issue that arose either in buying or selling. I know it is business but I feel he really cares for his clients and is working in their best interest." - R.D.

★★★★★
"Scott and Kristin, I just want to thank you both for being such a pleasure to work with. You made a fairly complicated transaction easy ... well as easy as it could be. You both were always positive, friendly and professional. I'm currently working a transaction with an agent that isn't those things and it has made me want to let you know how great you are ... and very appreciated!" - RR - Outside Agent

"Scott Joffe was my real estate agent for the sale of my home. My wife and I had built a custom Drees Home in 2008, and Scott was instrumental in assisting us with this endeavor as we lived in Georgia at the time. My reason for selling was the death of my wife. My instructions to Scott were simple; I had to sell the house and move, and I was going to rely heavily on him to keep things moving so the sale would happen. There were a multitude of problems, the most obvious being my travels outside of the state of Texas. In order to list my home, I had to clear up the title to the property. Scott introduced me to an attorney who completed this process. Scott spent time with me discussing what needed to be done to properly stage the home. This included minor repairs, specific upgrades and paying attention to the many details. The listing price was rather aggressive, but the first showing was the only showing necessary. Our first visitor made an acceptable offer and the house was under contract quickly and closed soon after. There were times during the negotiating that I was ready to walk away. The broker representing the buyer was difficult and at times, unreasonable. Scott handled many difficult situations with calm and professionalism and took control during those times when I wanted nothing to do with the selling process. It was because of Scott's persistence and patience that the house sold. I could not have asked for a better person to represent me in selling my home. I now live in California; should I ever return to Texas and purchase a home, Scott Joffe would be the only agent I would consider to represent me." - David B.

★★★★★
"We live out of state and were limited in how often we could come to Austin to view homes. We directed Scott to begin our home search in Lakeway. However, it was difficult to find a home that met our individual priorities (which conflicted at times - price, size, finish, privacy, proximity to family and airport). After discovering what was truly important to each of us, Scott suggested we consider a different area of Central Texas. Now, we are building a beautiful home in Georgetown and believe that the new location was the right choice for us. We appreciate the time Scott spent with us and his expertise -- suggesting an area we had not even considered. We also appreciate his ability to attune to our rhythm in the process of viewing and considering homes throughout the process." - Tom V.

★★★★★
"Scott Joffe was my realtor and he did a fantastic job helping me find the home I wanted. I was traveling back and forth from out of town and he graciously made himself available around my crazy schedule. He listened to my needs and was exceptionally professional and diligent throughout the whole process of looking at NUMEROUS homes, purchasing the home and even after the closing by answering and/or helping me find the answers to everything that came up. I would highly recommend Scott to anyone that is looking to sell or purchase a home." - Lisa W.

★★★★★
"Scott was by far the best and most professional agent we have ever worked with! I just wish he didn't have to split the commission!! He earned all of it!! We will surely recommend him for years to come." - Brian W.

★★★★★
"Scott Joffe is a gem! We have known him now for almost ten years and he has been instrumental in helping us find our last two homes and our son's family home. He is genuine, caring and extremely resourceful. We listened to everything he said, followed his proven course of action and got great results." - Donna S.

★★★★★
"Scott was wonderful to work with. Professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and so helpful in dealing with a somewhat adversarial seller. My wife and I will recommend him highly to any of our friends looking for a realtor in the future!" - Andy and Kelly B.

"Neither of us had lived in a house since childhood or ever lived in Austin, but we decided we wanted to spend our years of retirement in the Texas hill country. Being stuck in New York City until we had a place to move was a huge challenge, but we were fortunate to have a real estate agent who solved every difficulty of the process as smootly as a knife cutting through soft butter. Scott Joffe lined up a series of houses to visit after we selected from pictures. (This all had to be done during a three day visit.) After we made our choice he helped us through the negotiation process until we got agreement on a price within our budget. Then he directed us to a mortgage agency and arranged for inspections and appraisals to be completed when we were in New York. There were repairs that we wanted done and he got very good contractors to complete the jobs at very reasonable cost. We were unable to move for months after settlement but Scott was right on the job helping us hire contractors to care for the sprinkler system, the septic tank, the air conditioning and even the swimming pool maintenance. (A complete list of all he did would make this review way too long.) He was truly like that Swiss Army Knife with every attachment you could imagine. You can't imagine how personable he remained through the entire process. I'm 75 years old and friends are saying that moving into a house now is crazy because I'd never know what to do or how to get it done. They were wrong because they didn't know that we had a Swiss Army Knife of a real estate agent named Scott!" - Jim L

★★★★★
"Scott was fantastic! We loved him and would totally recommend him to anyone and everyone who asks!" - Leath N.

★★★★★
"Scott definitely exceeded our expectations. He gave us valuable insight and honest opinions and guided us towards a perfect fit. He is also very sincere and hard working and gave us whatever information we asked for. He was very proactive and accommodating to our often changing requirements. Irrespective of weekday or weekend or whatever the hour may be, he always responded promptly to our needs. Once he even took the time to call and advise us in the midst of a power outage in his house!" - Radhika

★★★★★
"We thoroughly enjoyed working with Scott. We were initially hesitant to work with someone who we essentially \met online\" without first having a referral, but we liked Scott from the moment we met him. His style is casual yet professional, and he helped us learn a lot about downtown and its various residential options. He's just nice to be with, too. That made the whole experience that much better." - Cindy and Pat B.

★★★★★
"Scott as exceeded our expectations with the service he provided during the listing, showings and sale of our home. We are continuing to work with him as we look for our next home. His knowledge, honesty and sales approach was the perfect fit for our family." - Mark and Enga S.

★★★★★
"We turn to Scott and his expertise again and again... As an active but private family, we wanted to sell our West Lake Hills house but not be bothered with unnecessary interruptions in our lives and the hassle of numerous and ineffective showings. Scott had already helped us sell a different and complicated property in West Lake Hills. I asked Scott to put the word out that the house was available, and to only show it to qualified buyers specifically interested in our exact type of house/setting. In turn, Scott brought us one buyer - creating a perfect match by connecting our property with a couple who were looking for the perfect lot with the perfect setting/view on which to build their dream home. We ultimately agreed to terms and consummated the deal. Scott's relationships with other luxury agents really made a difference, as he knew who to contact and was able to work through the negotiations to make the deal work. Understanding our need for limited complications, Scott made the process of selling our home smooth and easy, just as we had outlined. Scott's understanding of the seller's interests and desires, and his ability to follow through makes him a stellar choice among Austin luxury Realtors." - SG

★★★★★
"I needed to market and sell my second home located in Austin (Barton Creek) while living out of state. Scott was highly recommended to me by a long time Austin luxury home builder as someone who could efficiently and effectively handle all aspects of selling this property. I needed someone I could trust to independently deal with all facets of the transaction, as I had limited time to devote to this important but time consuming process. Going above and beyond to accomplish the sale, Scott handled everything necessary to sell my house, including but not limited to: 1. Readying the property with thorough preparation and detailed execution, including working with a design team and landscape contractor to stage and prepare the house for sale. 2. Holding multiple open houses to increase exposure to buyers who were not working with agents. 3. Providing me with regular market updates and accurate, timely showing feedback, so when we got an offer we could work with, I had a great feel for the market and could make quality informed decisions. 4. Overseeing most of the post-contract repairs, and working with contractors to schedule work and arrange for payment. Overall, I trusted Scott completely to manage the process from afar, as I was living out of the state for the entire process. Scott is a consummate professional and a great communicator, which makes him a cut above in the luxury Realtor profession - in Austin or any market." - Ken B.

★★★★★
"Zachary is very helpful and professional"I found Scott when looking for an agent to find a house in the Austin area before we settled on building. I had contacted several agencies, and except for Scott, they just didn't get it. I told them what I was looking for and they proceeded to send something completely different. We found Drees Home on-line but had trouble contacting them. Scott assisted us with this, and has been helpful all along the way as we live in Georgia and built in Round Rock. He was there for all of our walk-throughs as well as was present at the closing to look over the numbers. I didn't go, but gave my wife POA to sign on my behalf. I was comfortable with Scott there to make sure everything was correct. - LB

"Due to a job transfer to another state, my husband and I needed to find a realtor who could get our home sold very quickly. After meeting with a few realtors who didn't seem hopeful that we could get it done, we met with Scott Joffe. Almost immediately we knew he would be exactly what we were looking for - enthusiastic and optimistic that with the proper staging, we could get our house on the market and sold in the very short amount of time allotted. With help from his wife, Kimberli, within days we had our home beautifully staged to compete with the model homes in our neighborhood. With their guidance and aggressive marketing campaign, we accepted an offer on our home the first week it was on the market. Because of Scott and Kimberli, the process of selling our home was easy and virtually stress-free. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for realtors who not only get the job done but are incredibly friendly and a pleasure to work with." - John and Amanda W.

★★★★★
"I have worked with many real-estate agents in Austin and Scott was, by far, the best. He was patient, persistent, always optimistic, honest, attentive to detail, and protective during our long journey to the perfect residence. He was always on time to appointments and prompt in returning phone calls and e-mails. He consistently went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure I was well taken care of from the first moment we met to closing. I would not hesitate to recomend him to family, friends, and customers or anyone else buying or selling a home. His blend of intelligence, humor, and sens of responsibility makes him uniquely suited for the Austin real-estate market and I look forward to working with him in the future. His blend of intelligence, humor, and sense of responsibility makes him uniquely suited for the real-estate market in Austin. I would have no hesistation recomending him to family, friends, customers or anyone else interested in buying or selling a home and I look forward to working with him in the future." - Jim H.

★★★★★
"Scott did a great job from our first contact with him as he helped us secure a temporary residence for our relocation from out of state. As we searched for our permanent residence, Scott took the time and made the effort to ensure that we would be happy with our choice once we decided on a property. He was very helpful in pointing out things we should think about as we narrowed our focus. When it came time to submit a bid, Scott provided guidance on what was industry standard and what would make our bid strong or weak. In our many dealings with real estate agents (this is our 5th purchase), Scott stands out in the areas of responsiveness, advice and guidance. We would recommend him unreservedly." - Kent W.

★★★★★
"The original house we were interested in is still on the market and has since dropped $30,000 in price. Scott found us a house that was initially out of our range, but he made a phone call. The same day we walked from the other property, we began negotiations on the house of our dreams. Scott Joffe doesn't pretend to have these supernatural real estate powers. He keeps his ear to the ground, pounds the pavement and does everything he can in the best interest of his clients. Scott Joffe's performance for us as a real estate agent was top-notch and now I am proud to say he is a friend. Thank you Scott Joffe, we love our house." - Terrell A.

★★★★★
"We recently purchased a vacant lot in Westlake Hills with the help of Scott Joffe. We feel that without Scott's help the sale likely would not have closed. The transaction offered several challenges, not least of which is the fact that we reside in Singapore, making reliance on our agent critical. Further complicating matters was the intricate nature of construction on the land; which necessitated topographical surveys and ground testing; along with engineering, architectural and contractor consultations to ascertain the feasibility of building our home; all of which was meticulously coordinated directly by Scott and then conveyed to us abroad. As a realtor, we feel he is extremely knowledgeable, methodical and professional. Without his constant support our property purchase would not have been possible. Scott helped make a seemingly complex purchase pleasant and stress free. It is with pleasure that we highly recommend him." - John C. and Vivian R.

★★★★★
"Scott became a personal friend. I am almost 69 years old and I have NEVER had a real estate agent provide my wife and I such personalized and outstanding service. Only complaint: did not provide a winning Texas Lottery ticket." - Mike S.

★★★★★
"This is the 3rd house we have bought; so we have had experience with the \world of real estate\" ... in our situation, we had very specific needs, like everyone, but with more complications than are typical; since we work overseas in Japan. Scott was always quick to respond, even when we had no power due to Japan's major Earthquake / ...Tsunami. After several months of very involved negotiations with the sellers, plus extensive mortgage loan processes, the home is now ours. We appreciate Scott's professionalism, accessibility, and thoroughness throughout this process. In addition the Compass website was very useful as we searched online for over a year, looking at the housing market, considering our options." - Brenda F.

★★★★★
"Scott has a mental library that goes beyond your online search, believe me, we know. He found us two houses/condos in the 78704 that were just built and hadn't been put on the market yet. By this time, he had helped us stage our house to sell, which basically means \clean and de-clutter.\" Within 6 days, we had an offer. Scott will never make a suggestion or tell you what he likes. He lets you make the decision when it comes to buying a house. For example, \"Scott, this is a pretty color, do you agree?\" His reply is normally, \"It doesn't matter what I think. Do you like the color?\" He encourages you to dig deep and actually decide, \"Do I want this house?\"" - Anonymous
