About
Scott Newman is a highly respected Chicago real estate veteran with more than 20 years of experience. He has ranked in the top 1% of all agents in Illinois since 2012, and with more than $1 billion in sales across 2,800 transactions, Scott stands among the true titans of Chicago real estate.

What earned him that standing is easy to describe but impossible to imitate: Scott treats every client like family, tells them the truth even when it’s not what they want to hear, and advocates for them with a relentlessness rooted in a level of passion for helping people that goes so deep it’s literally part of his family’s entrepreneurial DNA.

Scott's primary focus is helping buyers and sellers just like you. If you want proof of his unmatched passion for helping others in action, look no further than his company's distressed division, where he has quietly built a reputation as the agent who always runs toward the people everyone else runs from. Advocating for struggling homeowners at the scale he has over the years has helped stabilize and strengthen neighborhoods across Chicagoland. It has also given Scott a depth of insight and foresight into the local market that will be expertly leveraged to your benefit in your upcoming transaction.

Scott began rising through the ranks as soon as he joined the industry in 2005 and quickly made the decision to launch his own firm a few years later. From 2009 to 2018, Scott grew his boutique brokerage until it reached the top three in Chicago, before partnering with another of the most successful independent offices to become the largest in the entire Chicagoland metropolitan area.

In October 2026, Scott's team was part of an elite group of agents hand-selected to partner with SERHANT to launch the brand in Chicago. That partnership is built on a single ambition: setting a new standard for Chicago real estate by providing clients with their perfect real estate experience through the powerful combination of old-school customer service and proprietary, state-of-the-art technology and resources.

Your next move deserves a level of service, advocacy, and results uniquely offered through Scott and Co.'s unmatched local expertise, backed by the most-followed real estate brand in the world.

After the decision was made to have my 90-year-old mother sell her 4500+ square foot home and downsize to a condominium with an elevator, the call from Scott Newman was the first call received as soon as I revised inaccurate information about the house on Redfin.com. Scott impressed me immediately on that first call and in our initial meeting days later. His credentials were stellar and he shared resources that were helpful in preparing me for the move. In fact, throughout my experience with Scott and his team, they went above and beyond what was expected of a broker to facilitate the buying and selling process. I am looking forward to working with him again in the future.

We’d like take the time thank Team Newman for all efforts in helping us sell our condo in Chicago. Working with Scott, Michelle, and Katie was an absolute game-changer in selling our Chicago condo. From day one, they went far beyond what we expected, bringing not just deep market knowledge, but genuine dedication and care to every step of the process. They took the time to understand our goals, gave smart data-driven recommendations, and were always willing to share their advice at each step of the process.

What really stood out was their willingness to go the extra mile. They made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable.

Thanks to their expertise and commitment, our condo sold quickly and at a fantastic price. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell in Chicago. Truly a five-star experience from start to finish!

Scott, Michelle and the whole Newman team did such a wonderful job helping me through what ended up being a high speed race to buy a mixed use building! The property presented many challenges to close but through every step the Newman team was available to answer questions and connect me with great support in financing, construction, and more. They brought their experience and their sense of community and creativity to the transaction - highly recommend!

The simple takeaway: you can trust the Newman team to help you learn and help you secure your next home… and you’ll have some great fun in the process.

I found Scott and his Newman family team through a generic online agent search and I am truly grateful I had the opportunity to work alongside him as I moved towards purchasing my first home. Scott was responsive from the first minute and his eagerness to help never diluted as the process progressed. Some of his greatest attributes shined early on: his ability to communicate and his patience. I had little knowledge of the home buying process, but he took the necessary time to explain the details and remained patient as I was slowly brought up to speed. He helped me figure out what I wanted and then went out into the market to make the dream a reality. His team and referrals (lenders, attorneys, inspectors, etc.) that were involved were all top notch. We closed on a place in a wicked quick amount of time in a surprisingly painless process. That’s because the whole team delivered perfectly on their promises.
