Scott Morton

Scott has seen it all, having witnessed and successfully worked through some of the most tumultuous times the real estate industry has ever experienced. Focused on strategy and action, Scott approaches buying and selling through an analytical lens, creating comprehensive plans and action items to win properties and successfully complete transactions. 

Before joining the team at Vanguard in 2010, Scott specialized in investor-backed redevelopment of larger buildings and TIC projects. He managed purchasing, tenant relations, remodels, and the eventual selling and marketing of properties. While wildly busy and successful, Scott found himself amidst a bustling career, and yet pining for something more.

That something was Vanguard Properties.

Scott’s client-first mindset drives every decision he makes, ensuring clients are supported and prioritized throughout the entirety of the buying and selling process. His detail-minded approach and his unwavering negotiation skills win contracts for clients and earn him the greatest joy of his career: life-long friends and clients.

Having lived in the Bay Area for 26 years, Scott is an expert on both area history and trajectory. If you’re looking for a committed agent who will put you first, look no further.
