SCOTT NORTON

About Us:

After receiving his real estate license, Scott began to quickly notice how many people were reluctant to spend so much of their hard-earned money in agent commissions. He decided to do real estate non-traditionally with flat fee and full service discounts, and found his clients much happier and his business more successful. Scott now owns and operates the Norton Team LLC which offers several packages for sellers and buyers, such as $199 flat fee listings and 1% cash back to buyers. The Norton Team gets houses sold by marketing them to thousands of active buyers and agents daily on the MLS and multiple websites. In addition, they provide constant support with offers, negotiations, settlement and closing, yard signs, fliers, and much more. Utah property owners can now sell their homes and keep their money!

Scott and Emily have been married since 2004 and together they have a baby boy named Logan. Scott is completing his Masters Degree in Health Promotion and Education at the University of Utah. He also is the head wrestling coach for Copper Hills High School. He enjoys being with his family, playing sports, snowboarding, and teaching.

Scott is a member of the National Association of Realtors, the Utah Association of Realtors, the Salt Lake Board of Realtors, and a member of the Wasatch Front Regional Multiple Listing Service. He is also affiliated with Utah Select Realty, Utah's premier real estate brokerage

Areas of Expertise

We specialize in flat fee real estate and offer several plans for sellers. We understand that sellers want options beyond the traditional commissions. Some sellers feel confident in handling their own paperwork and showings (FSBO), but are frustrated with the lack of exposure and marketing the MLS offers. We offer a plan for $199 that gets the property listed with basic services and constant support and review until closing. If a seller wants more service such as color fliers, local classified advertising, virtual tours, etc - then they can choose from our upgrade plans and get exactly what they want. Basically, we believe sellers should be able to pay for the level of service they desire - the same model used in almost every other industry nationwide. There are no hidden fees, tricks, or commissions at closing.

This approach has helped many clients with specific needs. For example, we recently listed a young couple's home with our $399 Silver Plan. This couple had been trying to sell by owner for several months with hardly any interest. They would have hired a Realtor, but would be in the hole on their loan after paying 6% in commissions. We have been able to step in and help this couple by waiving the 3% listing commission, and charging a flat fee. Now they can properly market their home and sell without financial hardship.

We also work extensively with buyers and we like to share with them ( commissions that is). We give buyers 1% of the commissions earned from the seller at closing. This has helped numerous buyers with closing costs, the inevitable new furniture, repairs, and more. We work very hard to search down the best home for the best deal. We have much experience working with first time home buyers.

Testimonials

Lorin
-Seller in West Jordan
"We decided to list our condo with the Norton Team and it was one of the best choices we have made financially. Not only did these guys save us thousands of dollars we would have paid in commission fees, but our condo sold before 10 or more condos for sale in our complex! We sold it very close to our asking price and the Norton Team took care of everything. It was a smooth process from going under contract to settlement and closing. You would be crazy to pay full commissions when you can pay a flat fee with the Norton Team and get the kind of service we did."

Paige
-Buyer in Herriman
"These guys rock! Scott and Pat searched multiple homes ranging from Toelle to Utah counties as we searched for the perfect fit. They helped us with our loan, set up inspection, completed paperwork, and set up our closing. The best part was getting the 1% cash back deal at closing, which was over $2,000 for us! We were able to get a new big flat screen TV!"

The Enosa Family
- Seller in West Valley
"I decided to list my house with Scott after he called me with his flat fee plan. I admit I was skeptical because I had already gone through 2 Realtors with nothing but disappointment. I decided to give the gold plan a try which gave me the full advertising exposure, fliers, and much more. Scott always picked up his phone when I had questions or when I wanted to make a change on my MLS listing. He provided constant support. Since I was saving so much from Realtor commissions, I could afford to lower the price for my home making it stand out in such a competitive market. Sure enough we had it sold within a few months, and we sold it for more we asked for! Thanks Scott!"

Jason and Jennifer
- Buyers in West Jordan
"Scott and his Team helped us a lot, especially as we were first time home buyers. Their ad in KSL about their 1% buyer cash back incentive immediately attracted us to the Norton Team, as we realized this money could help finance our closing costs. We were impressed with their organization and professionalism. We recommend the Norton Team."

Grant
Seller in Pleasant Grove (Vacant Land)
"I appreciate being able to list through the Norton Team for a flat fee, and for their prompt service. Real estate is slow, so not much is happening yet. But that is Ok because if the property doesn't sell, then I am only out by the small flat fee. Also, I feel greater freedom because I have the option of selling the property on my own without having to pay a Realtor commission. Thanks for your service."
