“Scott Parkin is, hands down, the best realtor I’ve had. He will go ABOVE and BEYOND for you. I had a pretty stressful situation, but he always had my back, and made the sale go as smoothly as possible. He’s passionate about what he does … it’s not just a job for him. He’s genuine, and will not rest until you’re satisfied. If you or someone you know is looking to buy/sell, I HIGHLY recommend him!”

“Scott Parkin was great to work with. He has an extensive knowledge of houses and the real estate industry. We love our new home and are very grateful for the expert help from Verve.” — Chris
“Scott Parkin was an absolutely fantastic realtor. He was the reason our dated townhouse sold. He evaluated our property with his team and determined what needed to be changed. He actually did many of the smaller upgrades himself! He was everything a seller could want. He was very available and answered communications promptly, he has endless positive energy and worked very hard. He earned every penny of his commission. We worked with him selling another townhome about 10 years ago and it was the same Scott this time! Highly professional and very funny! He went way above and beyond. I highly recommend Scott Parkin and the Verve team.” — Christine
“Scott took his time and helped us find the dream condo at the right price.” — Robert
