Bio
President and Chief Executive Officer
Scott Gibson was born and raised in Southern California. Upon graduating from U.C.L.A. with a BS in Political Science in 1978, Scott entered real estate sales on the Westside of Los Angeles. In 1983, Scott entered the management ranks and eventually bought his own real estate business in 1988, which included escrow and mortgage. After weathering the early 90’s, Scott sold his business to Prudential California Realty and went back to managing branch offices, eventually rising within the ranks of that company to an executive vice president position upon the merger of the two largest companies in the nation, the Jon Douglas Company and Prudential California Realty. In 1997, the Jon Douglas Company was acquired by then HFS (to become Cendant then Realogy), with Scott assuming Regional Vice President duties of the Westside of Los Angeles 22 offices including Beverly Hills, Malibu, and Montecito/ Santa Barbara under the Coldwell Banker name. Scott quickly rose through the ranks in the new company assuming the general managership of all of Southern California’s 120 offices, then becoming President of Los Angeles and its 23 billion in sales, eventually moving east to work for the parent company, NRT/Cendant on a national basis, running the Northeast region and five operating companies from Boston to Palm Beach.
Scott’s many achievements include developing the award winning Concierge service, developing strategies for the real estate offices of the future, initiating management development programs, and developing innovative technologies designed to create a better and more efficient way for real estate to be bought and sold.
Scott has been married 26 years, has three girls, and a grandson with another on the way. As an active outdoorsman, Scott has successfully participated and coached both in baseball and basketball. Scott currently resides on the Westside of Los Angeles.
