"Our agent, Scott Miller, was very friendly,personable, and tried very hard to help us get the kind of home we wanted, in the area that we wanted, and at a reasonable price.
He was also very helpful after the sale in putting us in contact with some workers that were able to get the work done in the short window of time of time that we had available.
We were so pleased that we have now given him our condo to sell for us.

"As first time home buyers, purchasing a home can be a very scary thought. Scott Miller made this an enjoyable and valuable learning experience. Scott was organized, thorough, and personable.
He offered us an objective viewpoint on each house and neighborhood we looked at, thereby helping us with our decisions.
He was always expedient in returning our calls, searching for properties, and setting up tours. He was extremely generous with his time and respectful of ours.
He thoroughly explained all of the documents and many other pieces of information as they became relevant.
His referrals of inspectors, attorneys, loan agents, etc., were excellent. Every referral he gave was just as efficient and effective in their work, as Scott is.
We can highly recommend Scott to anyone looking to purchase or sell real estate.

Response: "Best Couple of the Year (by far)!! I love the terrazo floors we found under the ugly tile. It needs some TLC, but it's going to be perfect when you finish with it." This review has been confirmed by the reviewer.

What year did you become a real estate agent?
2004
How many years have you been in Real Estate?
1988-This was the year I bought my first house in Philadelphia, on Temple University's main campus!
What is the average home price in your market?
$500-2M
Are there any new developments or trends in your area?
Nationally, there are lots of great and amazing deals to invest in...but South Florida probably has some of the deepest discounts anywhere to be found. If ever was an opportunity to buy real estate for your future, now is the time.
Why do you enjoy being a real estate agent?
It's been in my blood since I started investing in Philly. I love the action, the challenge of finding DEALS for people!
I purchased, rehabbed and leased properties at Temple University's main campus, Philadelphia, PA. I aggressively acquired and grew my personal real estate portfolio between 1988-2004. I invested in and rehabilitated houses and commercial real estate in deteriorated, blighted, urban neighborhoods, improving property values tremendously by creating critical mass, momentum and brought in a new wave of investment. I specialized in creating value in real estate in marginal, overlooked neighborhoods.
What is the most challenging issue you face as a Real Estate Professional?
Currently, it's trying to get deals financed. Very difficult in this market, things will loosen up, but not for a while.
Tell us one of your client success stories or an interesting moment in your profession.
I brought a client from France to a home without his wife. It was listed for $500K, not an inexpensive house. She was still in Paris. We walked in, he looked around for approximately 3 minutes, and he said, "I'll take it." I asked, "Don't you want to bring your wife?" He responded, "No. I know exactly what she wants to buy!" That was the easiest client I ever had, he has actually bought quite a few pieces from me over the past couple of years.
What is your best characteristic?
I was taught to never give up: per*se*vere /ˌpɜrsəˈvɪər/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [pur-suh-veer] Show IPA verb, -vered, -ver⋅ing.
–verb (used without object) 1. to persist in anything undertaken; maintain a purpose in spite of difficulty, obstacles, or discouragement; continue steadfastly.
2. to persist in speech, interrogation, argument, etc.; insist.
–verb (used with object) 3. to bolster, sustain, or uphold: unflagging faith that had persevered him.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Origin:
1325–75; ME perseveren < MF perseverer < L persevērāre to persist, deriv. of persevērus very strict. See per-, severe
Who or what inspires you the most?
The future! The challenge of making deals, it's always been in my blood. Now I do it for others!
What is the best advice you ever received?
Never, ever, ever give up.
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
Israel, somewhere in the north, I love the weather, miss the bite of the cold.
