Considered one of The Valley’s most knowledgeable real estate professionals with expertise in commercial and residential property investment, Scott Gorelick believes every transaction is a human-centered one, and every house should be a real home. During his more than 32 years of experience and 27 years of licensure, Scott has managed over 850 transactions totaling more than $2.2 billion. He wants the best for his clients, and he’s driven to find properties and investments that nurture and inspire.
Scott started working as an apprentice on multiple multifamily construction sites during the hot summer months in Florida when he was 14 years old before he could even drive. Scott then earned his license in New York as he was entering his freshman year of college, and he worked in commercial real estate on the East Coast during the summers. A few years after graduating from the University of Michigan, he became a mortgage broker; his familiarity with loan products and the application process makes him an invaluable advisor on financing options. An avid fan of Southern California architecture, Scott relocated to Los Angeles in 2004 in order to participate in its diverse, dynamic market.
House hunting, or “treasure hunting,” as he calls it, is Scott’s passion and working with buyers is his particular joy. His mother was an interior designer, so he grew up learning the tools of the trade and views every property with a designer’s eye. His personalized customer service and dedication to meeting client needs are why so many happy homebuyers give him five stars for service.
Scott is also a real estate developer who enjoys helping clients find sound investment opportunities, a skill he began learning at an early age from his father. With a complex regulatory and legal landscape in Los Angeles, Scott’s knowledge of property rules, entitlements, and designations makes him a reliable guide for investors and developers. He has a reputation for transforming complicated information into actionable steps, and he takes pride in seamlessly managing every detail of a transaction.
