Media Release 06/02/18
Twenty-year industry veteran Scott Thornton believes both the industry and our city are changing at a fast pace, pushing brands and agents to be more agile and tech-savvy than ever. As a brand, The Agency is focused on delivering the best operational platforms for its agents and clients and is investing in its fast-growing national network.
“We are in such an interesting time, we are evolving as a city, as a landscape and as an industry. I think we are going through huge change and that’s exciting. To be a part of a company that is connected in understanding that change, means we can service our clients in the best possible way,” Scott Thornton says.
“I wanted to be in an environment that was conducive to respecting each other and an agency that has the best platforms to represent its clients. A company that is progressive in adopting new technology and growing its agents.”
Scott Thornton has run an extremely successful real estate business within the Mosman, Neutral Bay and Cremorne Point suburbs of Sydney over the last two decades, working with his wife Jade Thornton. In the words of The Agency’s CEO Matt Lahood, “Scott and Jade are immensely talented and we are so excited to have them on the team, they are also very well known and respected in their local area.”
Moving to The Agency, they will be expanding their team in order to further grow their business and to continue to deliver great results for their long-term clients.
“We take pride in the fact that we are able to provide consistent results for our clients and we work closely with them to achieve their goals,” Scott Thornton says. “I think it’s about having a skill set that enables us to provide our clients with a sense of security, making sure we understand their current situation. Every single client is different as is their home.
“It’s about knowing what their home has to offer and understanding the demographic that best suits their home. Then through a carefully tailored marketing plan and through my network, I can match up buyers with suitable homes.”
An agent’s database and professional network are an important part of the service they provide and Scott has achieved a successful off-market record through his connections, this includes architects, bankers, local business owners and his client database.
In the new age of real estate, agents require a broad skill set and an innovative approach and this is exactly what National Sales Director Thomas McGlynn sees in Scott Thornton.
“Scott is a dynamic agent who is always developing and expanding his abilities. He is consistently exploring new ways of doing business - he has that energy and drive,” Thomas McGlynn explains. “Along with these successful traits he operates with integrity and exhibits great leadership qualities, which is what we look for at The Agency.”
Authenticity, trust and shared values are what attracted Scott to The Agency and its team.
“The journey I have been on in my career is to find a business that is connected to my core values. With The Agency evolving, it felt like I had come back home to a place that was so energising and progressive, and humble and authentic in its offering. There was no smoke and mirrors,” Scott Thornton says, “It is about servicing the clients in the best possible way.”
