AbqHomeSearch.com Scott Dean

Scott Dean is a JOKER. He literally screwed my family around for weeks after asking for a huge deposit. BEWARE OF DOING ANY BUSINESS WITH HIM.

I have been involved in 10 or so real estate transactions in my life. I have had some real estate agents that I really liked, but none of them come close to Scott. I moved to New Mexico from Vermont, and what you need to know in order to buy a house here is almost completely different. The process is different, and what you look for in a house is different. Scot walked me through the entire process with patience, care and great expertise.

When you work with an agent and they ask you what your price range is, they almost immediately start having you look at houses that are well above what you gave as a price. Scott did the opposite. He never showed me a house that was more than $10,000 below (that is right: below) my price range.

When I flew out to Albuquerque to look at houses, I had given Scott 10 places that I found on realtor.com that I thought were good possibilities. Once we looked at those houses, Scott went home and spent the evening coming up with a new list based on what he thought I would like. His list turned out to be much better than my list. From his list I found 3 good possibilities, one of which I bought.

Once the purchase agreement was signed, Scott recommended what types of inspections I should get and suggested contractors who could do the inspections. I would have been lost without his help on this. He also helped me through the closing process, which I was doing remotely from Vermont. And finally, after the closing, he gave me a binder with all of the paperwork that was generated from the sale. This includes all of the inspection reports, the sales documents, etc. This is well above and beyond what I think he needed to do, and since I was actually driving out west during the closing, he saved me a lot of time and effort by doing this for me. In the midst of a complicated 2200 mile move, I really appreciated that.

The other thing about Scott is that he is knowledgeable on almost any topic related to real estate. I have never run into anyone who is as thoroughly versed in everything from pest control to septic systems to legal requirements and so forth. He is simply the most exceptional real estate agent - although that term hardly does him justice - that I have ever met. I can not imagine buying or selling real estate in this area using anyone but him.

Scott helped us find our current home. He was always on time, and had all appointments scheduled so that we made good use of our time. In working with the seller and with us he was professional, and made good suggestions for managing the transaction. I felt that he was an ethical and thoughtful realtor, and handled negotiations well. 
In listing and selling my home, he arranged for great pictures of the property, and did a good job of marketing it. The home sold in 3 months, for a fair price. Scott was very supportive throughout the sale. He responds immediately to any questions or concerns, and followed up on everything that I needed to know. He continued to follow up on a few details with the home that we bought well after the transaction closed.

My wife and I were overjoyed with our experience with Scott.  We recommend him highly and would not hesitate to work with him again.  As far as we're concerned, Scott Dean is the best.

He was professional, responsive, honest, and offered his opinion. He is a buys agent. He set everything up and I found him to be very good. Anytime I needed to discuss something with him, he got back to me very promptly. He's an organized professional, is really responsive, and led us to other services that were excellent.

They are excellent. She calls us all of the time, she is responsive, she is courteous, and she is detail-oriented.

Scott is a tireless worker, he was always happy to take our calls and emails. We had a two trip process and Scott did a great job at educating me to the New Mexico market and then finding us the right house at the right price. We were not the easiest clients as we had limited budget and some strong requirements but Scott did a great job and always had a smile ready.
