Our Vision “At John L. Scott Real Estate, our business is transactional excellence, but our higher purpose is Living Life as a Contribution®” J. Lennox Scott Chairman and CEO
John L. Scott Real Estate Opens New Markets for Franchise Opportunities After nearly 90 years in business, with more than 110 offices and more than 3,000 Residential Specialists in Washington, Oregon, Idaho and California, John L. Scott Real Estate has garnered attention as an industry leader. But leaders do not stay at the top of their field without consistent innovation and forward-thinking strategies. That is one reason so many brokers have chosen us to be their home. More than any other business, the real estate industry today relies on personal relationships as well as technology. Brokers who care about their community and their clients develop decades-long streams of business from people who know they can rely on them for honesty, integrity and support with navigating their real estate transaction. At the same time, every buyer and seller today need to feel confident that their broker uses the best technology available while providing them with trusted and up-to-date advice about their market. Combining ultimate client relationships with customized training and technology is integral to the John L. Scott Real Estate story. Now, due to demand expressed by brokers, John L. Scott is offering a limited number of franchise opportunities to brokers who want the support of an established company with global networks that also embody the beliefs and approach to business that John L. Scott lives by.

Services We Offer A franchise with John L. Scott offers even more than professional development and training for brokers. Among the services we provide are: TECHNOLOGY
We know that most real estate brokers get a lot more excited about making a new connection with a buyer or a seller than they do about researching the latest tech gadget. Finding the money necessary to invest in the right technology and training brokers and staff to use it effectively is a huge challenge. That’s where John L. Scott Real Estate excels. We’ve built a platform that’s comprised of the best technology systems available today and then formed an infrastructure around them designed to drive awareness, understanding and adoption with one goal in mind – to help every broker bring more buyers and sellers together. For example, every broker gets a personally branded mobile app to share with clients, a customizable website, automated new listing notification system, automated email campaigns and productivity tools, all accessed through JLS’s MyDesk intranet site for centralized access to every aspect of their business and the Exchange sync system so that every piece of information is available on all devices.
