Scott Alexander

Professional Experience:

I spent 31 years as a high school teacher and coach before becoming a realtor in 2003. I taught history, government, economics, and English. I also coached high school basketball, which gave me a great deal of pleasure. Working with young people both in the classroom and on a basketball court was one of the most rewarding things that I have ever done. Since retiring in 2003, I have worked at Coldwell Banker Patterson Properties. I have been very fortunate to learn that the things that worked for me as an education professional translate well into the real estate business. In 2004, I had $5.1 million in closed sales: In 2005, my sales were over $6 million and in 2006 I had 8.1 million in sales. In 2007 fortune followed me again. I was able to close 61 sales, worth $9.1 million in sales. 2008, a challenging year for homeowners and realtors alike again proved to be productive: 61 sales, totaling $9.2 million. I won the "President's Circle Award" from Coldwell Banker all four years, an award that only 2% of Coldwell Banker agents receive.. It's almost as rewarding as a "Coach of the Year" award.

Why Work With Me?:

The best answer is that I'm just a teacher, and a coach at heart. I plan. I serve. I'm competitive. I thrive on hard work. I see objectives through to completion. I view this as a job where I serve those who trust me with either selling their home or finding them a new one. That trust is something folks take seriously, therefore I feel a responsibility to my clients. It's similar to being in a classroom. Those kids deserved my best effort every day. And my duty to the people I work for now is to do the best I can to provide quality service. Everything else takes care of itself. One other thought, as a buyer and seller in today's complex and changing real estate landscape, it's time for homeowners to turn to quality. Get an agent who is successful, proactive, and has systems that work.

Outside Interests:


I have many interests, which include reading, spending time with my kids, and sports. My wife and I are both former basketball coaches, so we go to high school and college games whenever possible. My two youngest children also are involved in youth sports so I am right out there with many of you, holding a camcorder and wondering if those bleachers could have been made any more uncomfortable. I read a great deal, am a cable news "junkie" and play golf whenever I can. So I am just an average guy who likes kids, eight irons, and basketballs.
