Look no further than Scott and his team to handle your home sale in North Scottsdale. My husband and I put our home on the market with Scott a year ago and they had it sold shortly after our Open House on 10/8.
Scott and his team have integrity and expertise that is hard to find these days. From prep for sale to closing, they can be counted on to keep you informed and ready for the next step. Do yourself a favor, if you are even thinking of selling, and let Scott know. You won't be disappointed in the results!
Thank you so much, Deb, for your wonderful review. We are truly touched that you took the time to share such kind words about your experience with our team. It was an absolute pleasure to help you and Billy through the sale of your home, and we’re thrilled that we could be a part of such an important moment in your lives. Knowing that this next chapter is off to such a great start means the world to us. We wish you nothing but happiness and success in the future, and if there's ever anything we can do, we're always here for you.

When the decision was made that we needed to move into a senior community there was never a question of who we would work with to sell our home in Terravita. We had worked with Scott to sell our previous house and it was a very positive experience....quick sale, wonderful communication and a great price. We went into this sale knowing it was not the best timing. We knew the selling season was October through the spring.....not the beginning of summer. But Scott came through again and we sold the house after two weeks on the market and at a great price. This despite other homes on the market sitting with no action or dropping their prices substantially. We consider Scott a friend as well as a very skilled realtor. He is always accessible and checking in personally. In addition his staff member Nicole was wonderful to work with. There is no question we consider Scott Gaertner Realty our go to realty and highly recommend him.
Karen and Bob,
Karen, thank you so much for your kind words. I can’t express how much your and Bob's friendship and trust mean to me—truly more than you know. Your kindness, immaculate care of the home, and incredible attention to detail made our job not just easier, but an absolute pleasure. You two are definitely up for the "Client of the Decade" award in our book! I’m so grateful we’ve had the chance to work together again, and I’m here for you whenever you need anything. Thank you again for everything!

We began the process with Scott long before we intended to put the house on the market since we knew he was the best and would have valuable information to share. That proved to be true and then, when the time came to move forward, we re-engaged. We had been in the house for 28 years and significant downsizing had to take place. Scott and Co. found us an extremely helpful business with experience helping seniors downsize.. Scott, his team and Reavanti (downsizing team) treated us with care, patience, and empathy. Durning the 6 month process which had many ups and downs including 3 closing dates that had to be extended at the buyer’s request, Scott’s team showed patience and persistence and communicated with us with each step of the way.. The team understood our needs throughout the journey. It took Scott’s knowledge and strategic skill to get this done. We are very grateful.. We strongly recommend Scott and his team.
Bonnie and Kim,
Thank you so much, Bonnie, for your kind words and thoughtful review. It was truly a privilege to work with you throughout this challenging process. We understand how difficult it can be to move forward after 28 years in a home, and we're grateful that you trusted us to guide you through it. Your patience and understanding during the ups and downs, especially with the multiple closing date extensions, were remarkable. We're thrilled that you felt cared for and supported by our team and Reavanti. Your recommendation means the world to us. Wishing you all the best in your new chapter!

we cannot express enough how grateful we are for Scott and his incredible team. from October 2023 to May 2024, the were our rock, managing every issue that arose. They initially sold our home quickly and for more than we ever dreamed possible, but we lost the sale due to a sudden, catastrophic house problem. Despite this setback, Scott's team took charge of the entire repair project while we were out of state and remarkably sold the home again for even more than we imagined. They were always just a phone call away. Their friendship and professionalism meant the world to us. We will forever sing their praises just ask! Ray and Donna Klocke
Ray and Donna,
Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words. We are truly grateful for the trust and confidence you placed in our team during such a challenging period. Your resilience and positivity in the face of unexpected difficulties were nothing short of inspiring.
It was an absolute pleasure to work with you both, and your grace and kindness throughout the process made our job that much easier. We are thrilled that we could help you achieve a successful outcome despite the setbacks, and your appreciation means the world to us.
You both hold a special place in our hearts, and we are honored to have had the opportunity to help you move on to this new chapter in your lives. Your friendship and support are deeply valued, and we will always be here for you. Thank you for sharing your experience and for singing our praises. Scott

We retained Scott and his team to help us sell our house on fairly short notice so that we could downsize to another house in the same neighborhood.
Scott and his dedicated team (Kate, Stephanie and Nicole) wasted no time in getting the listing prepared along with comprehensive pictures, holding multiple open houses and handling all the paperwork.
Scott’s experience and no nonsense approach really showed when we had protracted negotiations. His counsel and patience were critical in advising us how to approach multiple offers and counteroffers. He even kept the negotiations going while he was out of town on vacation. If you want a realtor who is savvy, always accessible and 100% in your corner, Scott is the one to choose.
Jack and Lisa, thank you sincerely for your kind words. Trust is at the heart of what we do, and your repeated trust in our team has been deeply meaningful to us. From your first purchase of one of our properties with a different agent to choosing us for your subsequent move, and finally entrusting us with the sale of your original home, your journey speaks to an amazing faith in our expertise. Especially in the rapidly changing Scottsdale North market we were experiencing! We are immensely grateful for the opportunity to have played a part in such significant moments of your lives. Thank you for being such an integral part of our community. Warm regards, Scott and the team.

Stephanie was our realtor for 5 months while we pursued our dream home. She was always on time, patient, and knowledgeable. When we were ready to put in an offer, she dropped everything and got it done! Kate and Nicole at the office were great too.
Thank you so much for taking the time to say such kind things Sherry! You guys are the greatest and we hope you love the new home.

After witnessing home sales in Terravita for four years I realized that Scott was the premier realtor for the area. There was a house across the street from us that had been on the market for about nine months and when Scott became the agent it sold in about six weeks. Scott and his team sold my house in Terravita this past year. Unfortunately, it came on the market in the spring which is the worst time to try and sell a house in Scottsdale. We had a very low offer and Scott suggested we wait until fall and it did sell then at essentially asking price. At times you have to have a little patience in order to get the best price. Scott was excellent at negotiating with the buyer so that we received the best price. I really trust Scott and believe he does the best job possible for his clients. Pat McKeever
Pat,
Thank you so much, Pat, for sharing your experience. It means a lot to hear such kind words from you, especially after the journey we went through to get your home sold at the right price. Your patience and trust made all the difference, and I’m glad we could achieve a result that reflects the true value of your home. It was an honor to be your real estate partner, and we couldn’t be happier that you’re pleased with how everything turned out. We’re always here for you, and we wish you all the best in this next phase of your life.

We had a great experience with Scott and his team selling my parents’ home in Terravita. We chose Scott because of his unmatched experience in Terravita real estate and had complete trust in his recommendations. He and his team set us up with every resource we needed, from a service to handle selling furniture and artwork, cleaning out the house, painting, handyman and staging. We loved working with Kate, and Stephanie held multiple open houses to give the home maximum exposure. Scott’s marketing of listed properties is top-notch and enhancements were made throughout the process to ensure the home showed its best online and in person. Everyone on the team was easily accessible and gave us regular updates and feedback. No one knows Terravita better than Scott, and if he lists your property you can be sure he and his team will do everything to get it sold quickly at a great price!
Wendy,
Thank you immensely for sharing your positive experience with us. We're deeply touched by the trust you, your mom, and your sister placed in our team during such a significant transition. Your acknowledgment of our effort and dedication means more than I can say. Really. It was our honor to assist in selling your parents' home in Terravita and ensuring the process was smooth and successful. Your kind words motivate us to continue providing exceptional service. We're grateful for your support and thrilled we could live up to your expectations.
Warmest regards, Scott and the Team

Steph was great during the home buying process! Everything moved quickly and was able to negotiate below the asking price without any issues. As a first time buyer, the entire process was efficient and enjoyable
Rachel,
We're thrilled to hear your glowing feedback about Steph! She's passionate about ensuring the home buying journey is as seamless and enjoyable as possible, especially for first-time buyers like yourself. It's fantastic to know she made everything move swiftly and even secured a deal below asking price for you. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. Best, Scott

Scott and his team were just the best to work with throughout the process of selling our home. They really made our lives better during a stressful time. From listing, staging, and marketing to close of escrow they were on top of all of the details and we trusted them completely to look out for our best interests. We left on vacation when the house went on the market and we had two solid offers in four days for over the list price. We chose the full cash offer and closed escrow in thirty days. There’s no one better in North Scottsdale and especially in Terravita to get it done! Thanks to you Scott and all of your wonderful team!
Dear Tim,
First and foremost, thank you for taking the time to leave such a heartfelt review for our team. We're genuinely touched by your kind words. Helping clients like you, especially during challenging times, is why we're in this business. We remember when we assisted you in buying your home, and it was a pleasure to once again stand by your side during the selling process.
Hearing about your seamless new home purchase in another state truly warms our hearts. Knowing that everything went smoothly for you is what we always wish for our clients.
Your trust in us, especially during your vacation, speaks volumes, and we're elated that the outcome exceeded your expectations. Scottsdale North and Terravita are special to us, and we're proud to have been your choice in ensuring your home's successful sale.
Thank you once again, Tim, for entrusting us with such significant milestones in your life. Please remember that we're always here for you and Marilyn, even if it's just for a friendly chat.
Warmest regards,
Scott & Team.

We are from out of town, and had been looking for a home in Scottsdale for several months. We were initially working with a different agent, but after further research and a glowing recommendation from a trusted friend, we decided that Scott and his team sounded like a better fit for us. From the day we contacted Scott, we had the best experience! Scott connected us with Stephanie, and she went above and beyond for us (and even after closing, has continued to do so)! From helping us find a rental, to promptly answering many, many questions we had, to providing information we never would have known about the area, we felt very supported and informed throughout the entire process. We look forward to many years ahead, enjoying our new AZ home, and attribute finding our perfect home, to Scott, Steph and team, and all they did for us!
Chrissy,
Firstly, a heartfelt thank you for your warm and detailed review. It truly means the world to our team to know that our efforts in ensuring a seamless home buying experience resonated with you.
We understand the unique challenges and uncertainties that come with searching for a home from out of town, and it's gratifying to hear that our team could step in and provide the clarity and support you were looking for. Stephanie speaks very highly of the collaboration and is equally grateful for your trust in her.
It's often said in the real estate world that the agent one chooses may not matter, but your experience is a testament to the importance of finding the right match, especially in a nuanced market like Scottsdale North. We genuinely believe that every client deserves an exceptional and personalized experience, and your feedback reaffirms our commitment to that philosophy.
As you settle into your new AZ home and begin to create countless memories there, know that we are still here for you. We're just a call away, whether it's another real estate query or simply a catch-up over coffee.
Thank you once again, Chrissy and Keith, for entrusting us with such a significant chapter of your lives. Wishing you endless happiness and joy in your new home!

Our family has been working with scott since 1995. We have sold 2 houses and bought 3 in Terrivita. He and his remarkable staff has provided us with the most professional realtor experience we could ask for, we highly recommend the Scott Gaertner Group. Joe and Judi D'Aleo
Judi and Joe,
Reading your review brought back a flood of cherished memories. It seems like just yesterday when I had the honor of helping your mom find her home, and the journey our friendship has taken since then has been nothing short of wonderful.
While the real estate transactions we've navigated together have been rewarding, the bond that has formed over these three decades means even more to our team. Your trust, not just in me, but in our entire group, is something we deeply value and do not take lightly.
The true beauty of this profession is that it allows us to make lasting connections, turning clients into lifelong friends. Your continuous support and faith in us, from your family's very first purchase to your recent endeavors in Terravita, affirm why we are so passionate about what we do.
Joe and Judi, thank you for entrusting us with your home journeys and for the invaluable friendship that has blossomed along the way. We're not just celebrating successful transactions but decades of shared stories, laughter, and mutual respect.
Here's to many more years of friendship and collaboration!

When we decided to sell our Terravita home earlier this year, it was an easy decsion to make in hiring The Scott Gaertner Group! We have moved 15 times within the U.S. and overseas since 1971. The Team that Scott has put togther are the best we have experienced. Every team member understands their role and does it very well. We met with Scott about six weeks before we listed, to establish expectations of him and us. We listed on a Wednesday afternoon, had a two-hour open house on that Friday and signed a sales contract on Sunday. We have watched the Terravita market since we sold in March, and know that no other home similiar to ours has sold for a higher price. No other real estate professional in North Scottsdale - Terravita has a sense for the market like Scott does.
Steve & Susie,
First and foremost, thank you for such a glowing review. Our team has been fortunate to work with many incredible clients over the years, and your partnership truly stands out as one of the most memorable. Your proactive and responsive approach made the entire transaction smooth and remarkably efficient.
Moving is never a small feat, especially with the number of times you've done it across different continents. Knowing this, it was an honor that you chose The Scott Gaertner Group to represent you in the sale of your Terravita home. Your kind words and acknowledgment of the team's hard work mean the world to us.
Your efforts and dedication were pivotal in achieving the outstanding result, a sale above the list price, something we all take great pride in. Every member of our team cherishes the experience of working with clients like you who are engaged, understanding, and genuinely a pleasure to collaborate with.
Steve & Susie, your trust and confidence in us have left an indelible mark, and we genuinely hope our paths cross again in the future. Whether it's real estate-related or just a friendly catch-up, please know that our doors are always open for you.

Scott Gaertner and his team are amazing. Kate and Nicole are both extremely professional and pleasant to work with. They all pitch in to answer questions and make you feel comfortable with selling your home which can be an emotional time in your life. We always felt well informed on the process and progress. They carefully discussed the steps with us so we understood what would be happening. They gave us a great overview of the Terravita market and how it works. Then when it came time to advertise our home, hold an open house and review offers they really delivered! We thought the market might be a little soft when we listed our house. Scott and the team convinced us our house should be listed at a price higher than the top number we thought it would be worth. Their knowledge of the market paid off! We sold the house right after the first open house for almost 5% over asking! We couldn't have been more pleased with Scott's team and results! They are the EXPERTS to call!
Janice & Dave,
Thank you immensely for your kind words about our team; it means the world to us. But even above that, the trust you placed in us for the sale of your home holds an even dearer spot in our hearts. We understood how critical your timelines were, and that the price we suggested seemed to sound crazy high to you. The gift of your faith was absolutely the bedrock of the success we achieved together. We’re deeply grateful for that. Rest assured, this is not a farewell, but rather the inception of a bond built on trust and collaboration. You can count on us, always, for anything. Best, Scott

When it was time to sell my parent’s home in Terravita, after much research, I hired Scott Gaertner and his team as they clearly displayed superior knowledge of the area, specifically North Scottsdale and the Terravita community. They made themselves available and guided me through the whole process. Scott and his team were honest and gave me advice to help prepare the home to be the most marketable. They also had a plethora of resources available at a moment’s notice. When I needed some assistance discarding and donating specific items, Kate showed a great deal of compassion and offered great advice and recommendations. Any necessary repairs or upgrades, they had someone to assist, and quickly I might add. Kate walked with me every step of they way. They made a stressful, difficult and emotional process as painless and quick as possible. The Gaertner Group is a great group to work with. I highly recommend them.
-Laura Kraus
Laura,
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a kind review. But so much of the credit should go to you. You did everything perfectly. You did your homework And then did all the right things to have the home present as well as it possibly could. What I admired most was the way you held yourself through what was clearly an emotional process. I know your parents would have been proud of the finished product and the way you represented them. Thank you so much for choosing us to help.

Dad decided to leave Scottsdale after more than 35 years to be closer to family on the East Coast, so he called Scott. Two days before Dad’s scheduled move to Virginia he was hospitalized for an extended period. We emptied his home and Kate professionally addressed appropriate services in order to list the home. Every project was very well managed and the communications across the miles were seamless. This family is so grateful for Scott, Kate and Nicole for their decisions, interest, enthusiasm and perseverance in selling Dad’s home. We had complete confidence in Scott and his team to manage and discuss with us all aspects of the home sale so that we could focus on Dad’s health and transition. Dad is now settled into an independent living community where he shares with other residents about his fabulously positive experience with The Scott Gaertner Group! We highly recommend this team for selling your home. Catherine Smith and family
Cathy, thank you so much for your kind words, and for all your help and guidence throughout. Your's was not one of our easiest transactions - and to be honest it got a bit scary at one point - but it was one of our most rewarding. Getting to know you and George and Jerry and working together was a true gift for all of us. You are very special people. God-bless and we'll be in touch soon!

I listed with Scott because he knows Terravita so well and what the value of the homes are. He gave different options of how to show the home as is or with improvements it was my choice. Scott also keeps a strong watch on the market and it’s changes. His team guided me with each step of the way. I always felt they had my back and held my hand.
Jerri thank you for your kind thoughts and for letting us help you move to this next great chapter of your life!

Scott, Stephanie, and Kate go above and beyond for their clients. As a lender partner of theirs, I can truly appreciate the thorough communication and their commitment to serving others. Whether you are buying or selling a home, you are in great hands with The Scott Gaertner Group!
Thank you very much Rachel!
