Scott Leverette comes from a real estate family where both his mother and father were in the business. His mother, Marlene, owned and brokered Leverette Company, a local real estate firm that focused on high-end local markets. He often jokes that he was raised on tour and at open houses. While other kids had more traditional toys, some of his favorite memories were creating coloring books out of MLS books from the pre-computer days.
Having had grown up in Berkeley and raising my two daughters in the area, he has the local knowledge about schools, day cares, food, and local amenities. Whether you have lived in the East Bay for years, or are just moving to the area, Scott can advise you about all of the ins and outs of the neighborhoods.
In 1999, he bought a fixer-upper duplex in the Temescal neighborhood. Over the years, he has remodeled every aspect and system of the home from the brick foundation to the master suite in the converted attic, and everything in between. Although he received his BA in Fine Art and Philosophy and had been working in the fashion industry, this duplex project helped him rediscover his passion for real estate. His education in the arts opened my eyes to the diverse architectural styles that exist in the Bay Area. Ask Scott about his favorite architects or styles and he could talk for hours! Real estate proved to be a passion that he could dedicate himself to entirely. It encompasses everything from aesthetics and interpersonal relationships to art history and engineering. He truly loves how every sale has its own story, from the history of the land and the structure, through to the closing, and the dialogue for the future potential.
Scott approaches everything with high energy and hard work. He stays on top of the market through diligent research every day. He is constantly looking for emerging neighborhoods and tracking properties for bidding comparisons. His goal in analyzing this ever-changing market is to eliminate or minimize surprise. He listens carefully to his clients’ needs and crafts a strategy and realistic guidelines that align with their desires and budget.
Whether you are a buyer or a seller, no matter what your goals and objectives are, Scott can help you make smart financial decisions that will enable you to achieve those goals.
Scott’s Realtor superpower consists of his photographic spatial memory which allows him to draw a floor plan of any home I have ever walked through.
