I was born in Charleston, WV and raised in Richmond, VA. I moved to the Lake Gaston region in 2005 while in my senior semester at Virginia Commonwealth University. I went on to graduate from VCU in 2006 with a business degree specializing in Real Estate and Land Development. Below is a snapshot of my professional history

Serve on the Board of Directors at the Lake Gaston Regional Chamber of Commerce (2012-Present)
Since moving to the Lake Gaston region, I married my beautiful wife Angel and have had the blessing of bringing our three wonderful children into the world. I love being a father and husband! Being a family man is what drives me to be successful at everything that I pursue. As a member of the local community I give of my time in multiple areas. I have volunteered my time to coach multiple youth sports at both the county level and through local churches. As a youth I loved to play sports, so when I saw the need in our local community I could not resist the opportunity to help. I have also proudly served on the Board of Directors of the Lake Gaston Regional Chamber of Commerce since 2012. During that time, with the help of the other board members and our wonderful director, we have implemented many marketing strategies and overseen some wonderful growth in the business community and beyond. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time serving on the board and feel that it has given me a much more personal investment in the continuing success and growth of our community.
Given my strong connection to the community, real estate related degree field, and years of contracting experience, I am confident that I can successfully guide any perspective buyer or seller of properties in the area. I take pride in hard work and have an insatiable desire to succeed. Buying or selling real estate is a very personal process and I am committed to being here for you every step of the way. If you plan to buy or sell real estate in the Lake Gaston region, make me your broker of choice.

Scott is amazing... he took on my issues involving a messy multi-owner sale and blazed a path through while realizing that I was asking him for help without any tangible means for him to get paid. Let me explain: I contacted Scott to ask him for advice and representation as my agent when I tried to sell my cabin on Lake Gaston. Through his guidance, I realized he was giving me the benefit of his years of experience and that I would possibly be able to engage him as my agent, but that decision was in the future. He listened and nailed down all the issues my situation was experiencing. He advised meon my options and stayed with me through the coordination I was making with the other owners. Bottom line, I wasn't able to bring him under contract, so he didn't get paid by me. He didn't get a dime for his efforts, which were probably 12 hours of research and work on his part. He didn't mind as he provides a service, he'd say... Well, I sure appreciated his work and would recommend him to anyone in the market.

Scott treats his clients like family. He is very detailed, covers all bases, makes you feel important and takes the time to discuss anything that comes up along the way. He is strategic in his thinking and always has a plan. He is a strong combination of street smarts and books smarts. He is also eloquent in the art of how to say it. I also felt he treated me the same as a female as he would anyone else.

After loosing her father to cancer, my fiancé was in no mental state to deal with the sale of his property after his passing, particularly as we live down in Florida. Luckily we were introduced to Scott who made the whole process unbelievably painless and hassle free. I would like to personally thank Scott for not only his professionalism through out the process of the sale but more so for his clear understanding of this particularly sensitive situation.

I had tried to sell my property for several years with zero results. I heard about Scott from a friend so I called him to arrange an appointment. He was very prompt and accurate with all our decisions. He worked endless hours with me and my property which was not an easy one. He is a good honest hardworking man and I am so thankful for all he did for me. Marsha

Scott made a huge difference in our search for a vacation home. I honestly believe I wouldn't be in my home if we hadn't been lucky enough to have Scott as our realtor. He's experienced and knows the lake area. His support during the entire process was amazing. He knew who to call and handled the coordination of all the pre sale inspections. Even after the sale was complete, Scott continued to help with great contacts on contractors and local businesses that could help with our needs. Thanks Scott!

We randomly chose Scott Watson to help us sell a lake property....and it turned out to be a great choice! Scott was diligent and thorough in helping us with selling that property. During the selling process, we talked about what we were looking for in our "Forever Lakehouse". Scott was always available to show us new properties that we were interested in. He found a great place that we ended up buying. It was a crazy process with multiple buyers bidding against us. Scott offered great advice and we ended up happy winners of a beautiful lake place! We would definitely use Scott again and we would definitely recommend him to anyone.

He understands that not everyone knows all the in's and outs of selling house, yet he makes you feel very comfortable when asking questions. We really appreciate his attention to detail. He is highly recommended, and we are at ease with this process thanks to his and profknowledge and prossionalism.

We had one of the most complicated situations going into a very competitive market trying to find a dream home and, without a doubt, we owe all of the credit to Scott. He worked day and night, literally text conversations that starting at 7:30 AM till even a few nights past 10:00 PM. He stuck by us, fought for us and we ended up with a home that was more than we ever dreamed of owning. I would like to think that we developed a friendship through the process. He certainly treated us like one. We 100% recommend Scott Watson.

Scott worked hard for us. We interviewed several realtors and he was the one who best understood the market, what people were looking for, and how we might make our property more valuable. He didn't let things slide, but never pressured us and stayed with us till the end. Scott was a great find for us. We recommend him without reservation.
