While well experienced in mortgage appraisal, Scott specializes in Relocation Appraisal, Forensic/Review Appraisal, and Rehabilitation/Investment Appraisal, and REO/Foreclosure Appraisal.

Scott is a member of Birmingham Association of Realtors/MLS, an IFA designated member of The National Association of Independent Fee Appraisers (NAIFA), the Appraisal Group Data Association, and the Employee Relocation Council (ERC).  According to the Worldwide ERC's 2006 Directory, Scott was the first appraiser in the Birmingham market who was "ERC Appraisal Trained." 

A national relocation company recently ranked Scott's "variance" as being the lowest (i.e. highest degree of accuracy) among their select group of relocation appraisers in accurately determining "Anticipated Sales Price".

Several national appraisal industry publications have featured articles by Scott on practical, technical and ethical aspects of the appraisal profession.
