Helping understand the market today to move into your dream home tomorrow
My Story
Born and raised in South Orange County I graduated with honors from the school of business at Biola University. From there I began a 7 year career in youth ministry where I developed a passion for teaching and serving the community.
I moved to Orcas Island in Washington State where I worked construction building houses from foundation to finish. During this time I gained an understanding of not just how a home is built but how much it represents for the people who move in. For some it is it is the space they create that will set the attitude for how every day begins and ends; for others it is the forge where they will develop the hearts and minds of their children. For everyone, your home represents and impacts the deepest parts of your lives and your families lives, and I strive to honor that in every transaction.
On returning to California in 2020 I knew that I wanted to continue working in the world of Real Estate that I had grown so passionate about and unite it with an opportunity to teach and serve the community. Becoming a Realtor was a natural next step for me and the role fit like a glove. I am the 4th generation of my family to go into Southern California Real Estate; discussions about the Real Estate Market and interest rates were common dinner table conversation growing up. I joined the top producing and award winning Reece Team with Bob and Diane Reece who are long time family friends. With their guidance and the high level training provided by Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices I have been happily serving the Orange County Real Estate community ever since.
Entering into the home buying or selling process for the first time can feel overwhelming and complicated; I am experienced at working with clients at any experience level to make the transaction feel as smooth and simple as possible. I have the experience to help navigate decisions about home repairs and upgrades as well as investments, leases, and property management. If you would like to hear more about my qualifications to know if I am the right agent for you, please give me a call at (949) 702-1097.

“From the minute we met Scott Bruton, we knew we were in great hands. Scott is a consummate professional, detailed, thorough with deep market knowledge and expertise. He took the time to explain everything to us in language we could understand, was extremely responsive, patient and truly excelled at communication. He was punctual to the last, and always showed up armed with a binder full of research and comps to hand to us for every place we looked at.
When you're buying a home, particularly in Orange County, it can be extremely challenging, and you need a strong team to walk with you every step of the way. Scott (together with the finance person he connected us with) were that dream team, routinely going above and beyond and eventually making it happen, working through all challenges.
Scott listened attentively to our needs, and was well versed in our requirements. He regularly provided a great sounding board when looking at homes. When it came time to put in an offer, that’s when he went to another level. Scott was super detailed, organized and kept everything on track and fought our corner as necessary. Often we would bring things up and he would already have handled it, making the whole process much easier and less stressful.
We truly think extremely highly of him as a professional and as a person, and we cannot recommend Scott highly enough.”

Scott did a phenomenal job locating and negotiating our purchase. In an extremely hot market, he was patient in navigating through several offers on various properties. His persistence paid off in finding a beautifully upgraded home at a low market price, which is unheard of in the current real estate environment. So thankful to have an honest and hard working agent to represent our transaction. He walked us through the entire complicated process and made it as simple as possible. We plan to have him represent us as our selling agent in the future. It is truly refreshing to find such an energetic person with high standards and integrity to work with.
