Hear from Scott's clients
We used Scott for our recent land purchase. Purchasing from out of town made things a bit harder for us but Scott was always readily available for any of our questions via phone or email and did a fantastic job of helping us navigate the process all throughout. Beyond helpful, resourceful and just a gem to have dealt with!
Scott is awesome! He helped my mom buy an apartment, and while searching he climbed into attics and down into crawl spaces to make sure places were sound! He is down to earth and has an awesome attitude! 100% would recommend Scott if you need an agent.
Scott Miller is a super star real estate agent. My husband and I are extremely happy about this purchase transaction specifically because of Scott's diligence, patience, experience, knowledge and kindness. We are filled with immense gratitude. Thank You Scott!!!
Scott was very knowledgeable and helpful with our purchase of a property. He was super communicative and easy to contact. A really lovely guy. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Thank you Scott!
The most responsive, ethical, and professional realtor I’ve worked with (and trust me, I’ve had my share of mediocre to terrible experiences with other realtors). Scott is experienced and knowledgeable and most of all - makes good decisions. I trust him to always handle situations in the best way possible. Highly recommend!
Working with Scott when we sold our house was a pleasure. He's a fantastic communicator, smart, honest and hard working - all the qualities I want when I'm working with a realtor. I'd highly recommend Scott!
Scott came with a collaborative, carefully thought out strategy that was fully honest and transparent for me and the buyer. It took trust, but it was amazing how it just worked, and I'm confident both me and the buyer got fairness and quality. Thank you so much Scott for helping us sell the house in literally 5 days!

Buying FAQs
I'm a first-time home buyer. Are there any tax breaks for me?
Yes. If you are a Canadian citizen or permanent resident and have never owned a home anywhere in the world, you may qualify for the Property Transfer Tax (PTT) Exemption. This can save you thousands of dollars on the closing costs for homes priced under a certain threshold (currently $835,000 for full exemption). I can walk you through the eligibility criteria.
I’m moving from out of town. Can we do viewings remotely?
Absolutely—I specialize in remote acquisitions. I act as your eyes on the ground, providing detailed video tours and viewing properties on your behalf. Together, we review every opportunity with a fine-tooth comb, discerning potential issues, pros, and specific factors that suit your needs. My goal is to provide you with as much information as possible so you can make a confident, informed decision to discern if you like to proceed.
The market in Nelson can be competitive. How do we make my offer stand out?
Success in our market comes down to preparation and local reputation. I ensure you we are "trigger-ready" the moment an opportunity arises—often before it even hits the open market. By leveraging my deep, long-term relationships with local agents and my ties to the Nelson community, we can craft an offer that balances your goals with the seller's specific needs. We make your offer the most attractive by focusing on clean terms, strategic closing dates, and proactive communication that gives the seller total confidence in our deal.
