John L. Scott Mercer Island Details
The vision of John L. Scott Real Estate started over 85 years ago when a young Scottish immigrant named John L. Scott set out on a long journey to San Diego, California with his bride and infant son. The trip included a stop in the burgeoning city of Seattle, Washington where John L. later recalled, "It was like reaching City Beautiful in Pilgrim's Progress." Seattle, not San Diego, would become the Scott family's new home.Once the family was settled, John L. began working as a sales associate for a local real estate company. In 1931, he established John L. Scott Real Estate, which has become one of the largest and most successful regional real estate companies in the nation. It now operates over 100 offices with over 3,000 agents throughout Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and now California.John L. Scott Real Estate is currently led by Chairman and CEO, J. Lennox Scott, John L.'s Grandson, who started working with the company as a sign painter when he was just ten years old. Thirteen years later, Lennox assumed leadership of the company.
