He spans a 15 year career in luxury real estate auction marketing and has experience virtually in every aspect of the home auction business, from sales, marketing, strategic planning, and technology initiatives, all the way down to the smallest details of the bidding process. Thanks to the depth of his experience Scott offers a unique understanding of the industry and where it could go in the future.

Scott’s goal with Interluxe is to provide the best possible results for his clients. At the end of the day, results are what people care about, and how Interluxe will be judged. Scott wouldn’t have it any other way.
