Jen Mathews

REALTOR

As a Realtor since 2004, I’ve worked for a few great companies, yet when I worked under Scott for 8+ years it was my best experience. When he sold that company, the culture changed and was no longer a fit, so I signed with another really good company. However, a few years later when Scott opened NorthGroup Real Estate it was a no-brainer for me. He truly focuses on the agent without compromising anything we are able to offer our clients.
Joni Brockelbank

REALTOR

After speaking to Scott Wilkinson the owner of NorthGroup, I reviewed the options available at his company. The options made it practically irresistible for me, as someone who was even
considering opening their own firm joining NorthGroup was a better choice. If the aura alone is not captivating for you, being able to have your commission check paid at 100% directly
