About Mitch Scrimgeour

I’ve never been very good at sitting still. I like having something to work toward, and I’m probably more competitive than I need to be. I like winning, I like getting better, and I like figuring out how to solve problems. Golf is probably the easiest place to see that side of me. I can play a great round and still spend the drive home thinking about the three shots I wish I had back. I’ve had to learn that not everything in life needs to be measured that way, but I still think that drive is a big part of what makes me who I am.

I spent four years in the Air Force, and that experience taught me a lot about accountability and being someone other people can count on. Since then, I’ve built a career in real estate and a life around the things that matter most to me: family, friends, golf, my business, and the community around Victoria. I care deeply about the people in my life, and I probably put more pressure on myself than I should to do things well. I don’t always get it right, but I try to own it when I don’t. I value people who are honest with me, and I try to give that same honesty back. I’d rather tell someone what I really think than tell them what I think they want to hear.

That’s also how I approach real estate. I take the responsibility seriously, but I don’t think buying or selling a home needs to feel stiff or overly formal. There’s a lot of serious stuff involved, but there should also be some laughs along the way. I want my clients to feel comfortable calling me, asking questions, disagreeing with me, or telling me when they think I’m wrong. My job isn’t to make every decision for them. It’s to give them the information, perspective, and experience to make good decisions for themselves. And when the transaction is over, I don’t really look at the relationship as being over. Once you’re a client, you’re always a client.
