About Scott

I grew up in the beautiful Franklin area, and have specialised in real estate in this and surrounding districts for many years. I have closely observed and tracked the amazing growth, realty turnover and regulation changes in the region. These observations have rewarded me with extensive knowledge including property trends, financial fluctuations and sales data. I constantly put these to use for the benefit of my clients, achieving out- standing prices for my sellers, sourcing ideal homes at all price points for buyers, and tailoring effective marketing campaigns to suit each individual property and budget.

  • Scott is hard to fault. From the get go, he was professional, precise and always available. Scott and his teams communication is gold standard. If you are looking for an agent to get the deal done, this is your man. 17 years experience really shows!! We went unconditional in just over 2 weeks from going on the market!

  • We highly recommend Scott, he is very professional, has a great ability to communicate and gives great clarity when things get a little stressful. We gave Scott free reign to get our house sold and believing in the process gave us the ability and freedom to get on with our busy lives. Thank you Scott it has been great working with you.

    Ben & Rhian - October 2024

  • Scott was very professional throughout our sales process, from the first meeting right through to sale. His local knowledge is second to none and has a large contact network. Thanks Scott and team!

    Mark & Michelle - June 2024

  • Where do I start. Scott McElhinney has a reputation as being the best in the business and he certainly exceeded that reputation for us. He was open, honest and extremely respectful of our needs and expectations. I would recommend Scott over and above any others in the business and have confidence in the fact that he did the best job for us in a very tough market. Thank you Scott and best of luck continuing down your chosen path.
    Jan & Graham - June 2024

  • Scott and his team are a very professional group. He is clear with his communication, provides realistic feedback depending on the market situation and is calm and collected. Even through we did not sell at auction (tough market), we got results very quickly thereafter. A great team effort and we will be in touch in the future ;) our best wishes always and highly recommended to one and all!

    Payal & Rajiv - April 2024

  • Scott applied a range of different market strategies to enable the best possible outcome. Scott is very professional and provided honest feedback throughout the process. He always listened to our opinions and we felt he had our best interests in mind. Scott continued to work hard right up until the sale had gone through. Highly recommended.

    Jarrod & Kylie - April 2024

  • Scott McElhinney is a great real estate who we would highly recommend working with. Scott and his team are great to work with. They are communicative and always reachable. He is knowledgeable about the area. Does a good job of managing expectations.

    Taryn - March 2024

  • On a three week turn around we couldn’t ask for more. Scott and Simone’s knowledge and professionalism were exceptional.
    From our point of view if you let the professional do their job and take their advice you get results. In our case that is exactly what we did and couldn’t be happier with the results.
