Our Story
John L. Scott was founded in 1931 in the heart of downtown Seattle. From the beginning, we have been committed to raising the bar on ethics and standards in real estate. While we are the oldest local company in the Northwest, we’ve maintained our position as an industry leader by embracing innovations in technology, anticipating industry trends, and keeping a pioneering start-up mentality.
With a legacy of great business and an eye towards the future, John L. Scott wants to help you achieve your dreams- one client at a time.
Our Why
As part of our commitment to serve the communities of the Northwest we’ve established the John L. Scott Foundation. Funded by the contributions of associates and employees, the John L. Scott Foundation is dedicated to ensuring that children in our communities receive quality medical care, regardless of their family’s ability to pay.
As a company, we believe in living life as a contribution. Through our sponsored events, the John L. Scott Foundation raises millions of dollars for more than 15 different children’s hospitals in the Northwest.
In addition to our fundraising efforts, John L. Scott Real Estate pays for all administrative costs for the John L. Scott Foundation, ensuring that 100% of donations are used to provide care for children and their families.
Together, we are working to make tough times a little easier for families in need.
