Get to Know Scott Smolen
I was born and raised in Maryland. I grew up in Bowie and then moved to Anne Arundel County after college. I played soccer, lacrosse and ice hockey growing up. I focused on soccer and played at the D2 level in college.
Most people do not believe that I played soccer when they see me since I am 6'5". However, my father was a college professor and a soccer coach for 30 years, so his passion rubbed off on me.
I have been a full-time Realtor since 1999. I am the proud father of a daughter who is a 5th grade teacher. Both of my parents were teachers and my mom worked with Elementary and Middle School aged children at Holy Trinity in Bowie, Md. My daughter followed in her footsteps.
My oldest son graduated from UNLV and currently works for the Las Vegas Golden Knights hockey team in the NHL. My youngest child is graduating from DeMatha High School this year and will be attending the University of South Carolina where he plans to start working toward being a medical doctor.
Now that the weekends of watching my children play golf, baseball, and soccer are finished, I plan to focus on work and use my free time to hike, cycle, fish, and hopefully travel around our beautiful country when my schedule allows.
Since I am a lifelong Maryland resident, I know the area that we service very well. Our office is centrally located between Baltimore, Annapolis, and Washington DC. Although our area has grown quite a bit over the last few decades, I have been fortunate to see many of our large residential communities being built from the ground up.

Hometown Annapolis: February 13, 2006, Ranks of real estate agents under 30 rising By DAVID E. LEIVA Staff Writer Scott Smolen had three things going for him when he got started as a real estate agent with RE/MAX: computer knack, business acumen and a willingness to meet customers’ expectations. The problem was, he had two things going against him: age and inexperience. At 24, he wasn’t always the face of reassurance for people who were about to put the biggest asset they owned into the hands of someone 10 years younger than their own children. Yet, he persevered, and five years after he got started, Mr. Smolen of Gambrills was recognized by the National Association of Realtors as a member of the top “30 under 30,” a designation for agents nationwide who had achieved measurable success in the field. His sales in 2003 jumped to $19.4 million, up from $12 million in 2002. Last year, he cleared $41 million with the help of two buyers’ agents and assistants. “Because I’m pretty tall, people thought I was a little older,” said Mr. Smolen, now 30, who stands at 6 feet 5 inches. But he wasn’t. With the advent of the Internet and e-mail, he turned youth and tech skills into his key selling points. “There are a number of retirees that are computer savvy. They’re very good at it. It’s something they appreciate as well,” he said. Mr. Smolen is part of a new crop of agents that have sprung recently in Anne Arundel – all young, energetic and under 30. While neither the state nor county real estate association keep detailed figures, one estimate puts the membership of the county group at nearly 30 percent.
