Testimonials “We have worked with Scott Stang over many years now as a buyer’s agent helping us look at homes all over Denver and the surrounding areas, design consultations for owned properties, and as a sellers agent on our latest home. He helped us purchase our home in Denver in 2012 after 3 - 4 years of searching, and was by far one of the best agents we have ever worked with before, during and after sale. After our purchase, Scott brought in a professional interior decorator to help plan our remodel and later staging, provided quality contacts for numerous trade professionals, and gave sound advise on real estate and market decisions. He was patient, professional, and listened to our ever changing “want” list over the months and years. Honestly a great Realtor we would recommend to anyone and consider him a friend as well. Thank you Scott for all of the hard work and dedication from you and your team!!!” - IAN W. -

“Where to even start with how great Scott was? We were buying a home in Denver but lived in San Francisco. We didn’t know the various Denver neighborhoods super well so Scott gave us a crash course over the phone and then later we flew out and he spent two days with us driving around various neighborhoods, each of which Scott had copious amounts of knowledge on (also he picked us up from the airport). He was patient with our inexperience regarding all things involving buying and owning a home. He’s extremely friendly & professional. He encouraged us to stick to our initial offer price when I was ready to throw more money at the seller, and it paid off - the seller eventually accepted our initial offer. I truly can’t think of a way Scott could have made the experience better for us, and he’s still helping us with getting the house into tiptop shape after the purchase.” - S.K. -
