Word travels fast when someone is good at what they do. It travels even faster when they are known for being supportive, authentic and knowledgeable.
That is the case with Scott Kleinman, a Real Estate agent with Il-lustrated Properties, a Keyes Family Company, in Delray Beach. Kleinman has been a realtor for 20 years and he values his customers, and the properties that align both the coast and the inland of Delray Beach (and beyond).
He is also a man devoted to real estate and is driven by the by-laws of his own creed. “I am a giving and helpful person. I always have been and always will be,” said the Real Estate agent known for his compassion and consideration.
His word is his honor, and Kleinman knows a lot about honor and honesty. He believes that Premier Customer Service is a must in the real estate business, and he is steeped in making sure buyers and sellers know the details of every transaction. This might be a showing of a property, a listing or a commission issue.
Either way Kleinman has your back. “I know the market value of property and I truly love showing properties. I also enjoy seeing how each property is uniquely designed and the style architecture it adheres to.”
Kleinman is also a very hands-on realtor. He does not believe that a lock box is the correct introduction to any property and is hands-on, regardless of the time or temperature.
“A lock box has a cold feeling to it. If you accompany the client to a showing you get to point out the renovations that were done and other salient aspects of the property. I feel that buyers need to know what is special about the property in order to see its inherent worth.”
Kleinman especially likes buyers to take note of things, like a new kitchen island, closet space and updated flooring. He has found that clients often don’t know if the floor is genuine wood, granite or quartz. That is where his expertise in décor and architecture takes precedence over anonymity.
Kleinman makes sure he has answers to any questions that might arise. “It’s not just about opening the door and showing a property. It’s about showing buyers the grounds, the amenities and the clubhouse. A home or condo is not just four walls and a kitchen, it’s a lifestyle.”
And, lifestyle is something that Kleinman understands inherently. One reason is that he has lived on the Intracoastal waterway – in Seagate Towers – for the past 12 years. Located on the barrier island, Kleinman believes that Seagate Towers is a slice of paradise.
“It’s two blocks from Atlantic Avenue, two blocks from the beach and there is water all around us. We have a boat dock at Seagate Towers and there are boats going by all the time. It’s so soothing and relaxing that people want to live here. We have Pineapple Grove nearby, the Green Market, Old School Square and many arts and crafts shows.”
Kleinman has a point. There is majesty and magic living on the water and being walking distance from culture, art, fine restaurants and an eclectic mix of people.
But, this natural beauty does not belong to any one person, it is available to anyone with a dream and desire to live near the water. The reason is simply that Kleinman has multiple units available in Seagate Towers right now. They are spacious (from 1,970 square feet to 2,170 square-feet) and have water views, hurricane impact glass and are corner and center units.
Seagate Towers also has private balconies and views of the Intracoastal Waterway in almost every unit. They also have modern interiors and gourmet-style kitchens with Italian granite countertops, high-end stainless-steel appliances, and spacious breakfast bar seating.
It’s a world away from the mundanity of existence and is a slice of heaven in the tropical paradise we know as Delray Beach.
Kleinman knows what his buyers want and is adamant that his goal is to fill that need.
That’s why his clients tout his customer-centric stance in helping them find their dream home.
“Scott is extremely knowledgeable and detail-oriented.
He helped us weigh the pros and cons of different condos we were looking at and pointed out a number of factors we hadn’t even considered. We ended up with a condo that we love, which would not have happened without Scott’s assistance. We strongly recommend Scott to anyone looking for a home,” said David and Bonnie.
When working with sellers Kleinman gives the same amount of care, kindness and expertise to each client. “I work with clients to PHOTO COURTESY OF SCOTT KLEINMAN
make sure both the buyer and seller have realistic expectations as to what lies ahead. My goal is to make everyone happy with each deal.”
And, he is adept at making sure both sides get what they want (and need). It’s his goal and his reason for being in real estate. “You have to really want to do this and be knowledgeable about all the moving parts to be successful. Good news travels fast and bad news travels even faster.”
So far, it’s the good news that seems to follow Kleinman around like an adoring puppy.
“Scott is incredibly generous with his time and himself. He went above and beyond what is expected of a real estate agent. He always had my best interest at heart and for that I am grateful. Thank you Scott, for helping me find happiness and contentment in my new home – I just love it.”
Those words are exactly why Kleinman is in the real estate business. He revels in his clients’ satisfaction and goes that extra mile to educate and help them. “When you are selfless people appreciate it. They don’t care about how much you know until they know how much you care.”
And, Kleinman cares a lot.
