It may come as a surprise to some that Alexa Scott is one of the hundred best realtors along the shoreline in just three years into the industry – but it is no surprise to her.

Real estate is in her blood.

Scott’s grandfather Robert owned the Beasley Company in New Haven County. After many years, her father and uncle took the reins. From the time she reached adulthood, Scott’s family has been gently nudging her to pursue this work as her career, to continue the legacy for a third generation.

Scott’s journey into real estate was not without its detours – she wanted to work in travel sales and make her living that way. It took a pandemic era change of heart for her to dive head-on into real estate. She says she loves working with clients and had had that as a component of her previous work. She came home to Connecticut and picked up where she left off – joining her dad in the family business. Scott credits her father with her training and subsequent success – and by coupling her father’s guidance with her own motivation, her career has taken off since committing to real estate in 2021.

In the earliest days of her career, Scott was a sponge. She quickly understood the hustle mentality of the gig, paying to be part of a brokerage, paying for printing and advertising, and reaching out on her own to potential clients. While the cold calls were outside of her comfort zone at the outset, she used a deep base of connections she already had in Connecticut to get her start. She connected with dozens of the state’s top realtors via Facebook early on so she could network with those already established in the industry.

Social media has played a key role in the expansion of Scott’s influence in her community. She used her long list of Facebook friends to reconnect with people from her past and began posting real estate videos on Instagram about the steps to buy a home, how to get pre-approved, and more. Soon, she had people reaching out to her to establish long-term contacts – in which someone may not be ready to buy a home now but would be in the market in a few years.

Scott puts the client first – always insisting that they are the priority in every engagement, be it buying or selling. She specializes in first-time buyers and sellers and aims to take the stress and complications out of the equation for those new to the market. She maintains her relationships by going above and beyond in communication – sending personal cards and buying gifts for clients and potential clients. Scott prides herself on a roughly 90 percent success rate in bringing first-time clients to the finish line by closing on a deal.

While real estate has been the world in which Alexa Scott has grown up and begun to make a name for herself, she has always made time for family and those close to her. She recently tied the knot with her husband in Vermont – a place where she spent her winters skiing with family. She trained in classical ballet at the New Haven Ballet and still finds the time to take an adult modern dance class in Deep River every week.

If she keeps up all her success in Connecticut real estate, she’ll be dancing her way to the top of the charts.
