About John M. Scott

I moved to Jackson Hole in 1975 after graduating from Whitworth College, now Whitworth University, a small private school in Spokane, Washington. I came to Jackson for the same reason many people do, I had skied here the winter before and fell in love with the valley. My dream at that time was to live in Jackson Hole and get paid to ski and get paid to run the rapids of the Snake River both of which I did becoming a professional ski patrolman and a whitewater river guide.

I opened the first dedicated whitewater retail store in the valley called the Paddle Shop. I was then hired by a small local sporting goods manufacturing company called Life-Link International. Over the course of the next 20 years as Marketing Director of Life-Link and eventually Vice-President of Sales and Marketing and part owner, I helped develop outdoor brands such as Croakies, outdoor accessories sold worldwide, Simms Fishing Products, one of the premier fly fishing equipment manufacturers, Tarponwear, the first technical hot weather fishing clothing whose designs have been copied by every major hot weather clothing manufacturer, and Life-Link, a premier brand of backcountry ski equipment.

During that time my wife, JoAnne, and I raised two sons and a daughter. We have watched them become life-long outdoor enthusiasts growing up in this valley while they made their way through the Teton County Public School system.

I have seen a lot of changes in this valley over the last 33 years. But one thing hasn’t changed and that is my love and appreciation for the Valley, its’ mountains and the people who live here.

The experience that I have gained over those years in marketing, advertising, customer service and negotiation along with the knowledge I have of this area are what I can bring to you as your Realtor. Whether you are a buyer or seller, a real estate transaction in the Jackson Hole area is usually one of financial significance. You want to make sure that you are getting the best possible representation. The experience and knowledge of the Realtor who represents you will determine that.

I am proud to be associated with Real Estate of Jackson Hole, the largest locally owned real estate company in Wyoming and the exclusive affiliate for Christies Great Estates in Wyoming and Idaho.

Jackson Hole, there is no place like it anywhere else on earth! For this reason real estate in Jackson Hole and the surrounding areas is at a premium. People from all over the world come here and want a piece of Jackson Hole. Consequently the Jackson Hole real estate market is considered a “hot market” and there are plenty of real estate agents ready to help you buy or sell your property. I have lived in this valley for over 30 years and have seen many of them come and go.

Investment in property in Jackson and its’ surrounding areas is a significant financial commitment. The question is in whose hands do you want to put the success of your real estate transaction?

Many people come into the real estate business with no sales and marketing background, no background in negotiations and many with no business background whatsoever! Having been in sales and marketing for over 20 years and having had extensive negotiation experience during that time combined with my 30 years in this valley leaves me, I believe, uniquely qualified to help make sure that your real estate transaction is successful. Whether it’s for your primary home, a second home, a business or and investment property, you want to make sure that the person representing you has the skills and background and the knowledge to give you the representation you deserve.
