Gary Scott

Allen Tate Companies president Gary Scott believes that while change brings challenges, challenges also present opportunities. Throughout 2024, Scott effectively led his residential team in preparing for the changes the NAR Settlement would bring regarding buyer agency representation and compensation.

In July and August 2024, Scott and his leadership team presented 11 “New Approach to Real Estate” events across the company footprint, ensuring that every agent was knowledgeable, prepared and confident. “Four individuals I have hired and mentored have become presidents of their respective real estate firms,” he says. “I have had incredible mentors in my life and career, and I have an obligation to pay it forward.”

Scott continues to build on his Partner Office model as a recruiting and retention strategy, adding new partner offices in 2024. He also led the acquisition of The Alliance Group Realty in, adding 75 agents and expanding the Howard Hanna | Allen Tate footprint into the South Carolina Low Country region.
