Alexis Scott studied Public Relations at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and began an internship with Keller Williams at the downtown office her senior year. She ended up working as a PR Intern and assistant to CEO, Nathan Brown for a semester and when graduation came near, Nathan encouraged her to get her real estate license. While she didn’t necessarily have an initial interest in the industry, she was told she would excel. She decided to get licensed in 2016, joined the Chattanooga Property Shop, and hasn’t looked back.

Despite her lack of interest initially, Alexis fell in love with real estate. She had a strong work ethic, having put herself through college while working two jobs. She had learned plenty in the industry from working with Nathan Brown and the downtown office. Having built a great relationship with Diane Patty and Lisa Brown, two of her role models and heavy influences, she was set to excel early on. “I’ve just always had to work really, really hard for what I want”, she says, and she’s proved it in seven short years.

Her hard work has already paid off by earning her a loyal client base. She has already built a business driven by 80% repeat and referral business. Due to her positive mentality and unshakeable integrity, she has earned every success. “I’m all about looking out for the best interest of my clients”, she states. “I don’t think about it as numbers”. Alexis knows that if you focus on taking care of people, the commissions take care of themselves. Earning “Top 20% of Realtors” in the KW Downtown office in the last three years and promoted to Lead Agent on her team, she has helped them achieve #2 team in the Southeast Region just last month.

One of the things that sets Alexis apart from the rest is her passion for people. Even outside of her real estate business, she loves to connect with and encourage others. She says, “I like being a cheerleader for people… I also love connecting people.” She has often helped clients, friends, or family find work opportunities, playing matchmaker as she sees opportunities. She is known as an unofficial talent scout by many who know her. She celebrates every victory with her clients and has a knack for remembering details about their interests and goals. She will often reach out to celebrate everything from pet’s birthdays to personal accomplishments.

By loving on her clients and earning their trust, she has been able to grow alongside them. She has worked with investors and families alike, helping them add properties, find flips, and upgrade their homes as they grow throughout seasons of life. One investor she has helped grow to 30 properties over the years. “It’s all about my clients for me,” she says. “They make my job and therefore my life so fun and rewarding.” You can often tell how successful someone is by the respect that others have for them. Agents and clients alike clearly are fans of Alexis and what she stands for.

Always on the move, Alexis loves to travel both nationally and internationally. She just got back from visiting a friend in Japan earlier this year and is planning a trip to Greece later this year. She has visited numerous other countries and states in America, always looking for the next adventure. While she loves to get out and explore, she does have to leave behind one of her best friends.

When Alexis is outside of the office and inside city limits, she loves to spend time with her adorably small Corgi, Nugget. A celebrity in his own right, Nugget was awarded “Chattanooga’s Smallest Corgi” at the Corgi Parade and has become the mascot of Alexis’ business. She has even been stopped in the street by strangers who know him. He frequents the downtown office, and may even show up at the occasional meeting. However, when Alexis is home, Nugget gets plenty of her attention. She got him right after graduation, allowing him to grow alongside her business as well.

Looking ahead, Alexis looks forward to improving her business and her skills daily. She always has a goal to improve upon her previous year and is dedicated to honing her craft and expanding her knowledge in a multitude of ways. She also spends time serving the community as Community Service chair for Chi Omega Alumnae. In addition, her team, Chattanooga Property Shop, regularly donates to local people in need as the needs arise, solidifying a ‘people first’ commitment. In her first 7 years, she has already made a positive impact on the industry. Wherever she is seven years from now, it’s safe to say the industry is fortunate to have such a stellar advocate.
