Hi Scott. Got your message, glad everything went smoothly. We have been through 3 real estate transactions in the last 3 years, and this one was the easiest by far, so thank you! We enjoyed working with you and the rest of your team.

I thoroughly appreciated working with Scott. Actually, I didn't do anything. I had no worries whatsoever due to full confidence in Scott and his team. They were all so professional, cordial and helpful with the entire process. After looking at many properties with Scott, I feel the last thing that I did was to let Scott know that I wanted to make an offer on the property I chose. He took care of the rest.

After a few redecorating updates, I am very happy in my new home. I would recommend Scott Bechtel and his team to anyone.

My wife and I have bought and sold at least 10 properties with Scott since 1997. The main reason we continue to use Scott is simple, professionalism. I have dealt with many realtors and Scott sets the gold standard for professional service and timely response. There is no better realtor in our market.

As an attorney dealing in real estate, I have encountered more than a few real estate agents over the years.  With this background, I highly recommend Scott Bechtel and his team whether buying or selling.  I have used Scott and his office to both buy and sell and found that they were very helpful and went above and beyond even what I expected in all aspects of both sale and purchase of residential real estate...much more than I expected.

Scott took the time and helped me find the house I was hoping to find.  He provided me months worth of listings as they came on the market while we searched for the right house.  He assisted me in evaluating different houses, and also reviewing the market value of the houses that looked interesting.  When I finally purchased, Scott and his team saw to all the details and made the entire transaction as smooth as possible.

In selling, Scott and his team get a 12 on a scale of 1 to 10.   They helped with establishing the price, immediately got the house listed, provided color brochures, provided a virtual tour on the web, and kept me informed of each and every showing.  They even provided feedback from the other realtors.  As a result of their efforts, the house was sold in just two weeks.

I will certainly use Scott Bechtel and his team on any future real estate transaction and have recommended him to others who are coming into the community or who are selling.  He is a real estate professional and I would give him an unqualified recommendation to anyone looking to purchase or sell residential real estate in Champaign Urbana.

Using Scott Bechtel in Champaign was a great experience. We were relocating to Champaign from the Chicagoland area and he made looking for and buying a house fun and enjoyable for my wife and I. We had a bad experience with a specific realtor when we bought our house in the Chicago suburbs 3 years ago and were not happy with the process of selling that house at the end of year either, before moving to Champaign. So my wife and I's expectations were a bit low for our house hunting trips in Champaign, but we had a great friend recommend Scott as "the best."

Scott was more open and honest about the homes, areas, problems, opportunities, etc. than I expected him to be. Most people think the realtor is only out to make money on selling a home, not necessarily looking out for the buyer. But Scott walked through each house and gave an honest opinion on the condition and asking price and overall what he thought, not guiding us either way, just telling it like it is.

On Sunday, he had a couple of other options to look at, based on our criteria, and one that he said we should look at even though it didn't have EXACTLY what we were looking for. But when we pulled up to the house, we knew that it was the one. A charming old house on a corner lot, with refinished hard wood floors, paint colors that my wife and I loved, a wonderful bedroom for our son and many other great things.

In the end, I could not have been happier with Scott and the entire process. I felt Scott really earned his money and helped us to find and buy a great home. And the little touches that he did after we moved in were unexpected and really nice, like calling to see how we were doing and sending us little mailing cards that we could send out to our family/friends with our new address and a picture of the house on the cards.

I would strongly recommend Scott to anyone looking to buy a house in the area and I've told everyone that I know that they should use him in the future. When it comes time for my family to move into a bigger house, I will definitely be using Scott as my realtor.
