About
Scott
Scott’s decision to enter the world of real estate started when he was just 18 years old. In 1982 he chose his first mentor, but was declined a sales position on the grounds that he was “too young”. Persistence proved effective, however, and after acquiring his real estate license from Prahran College of TAFE he regularly contacted the very same agency until he finally secured the job at 21 years of age. Scott bought the office in which his career had begun at age 24, and has continued to be a leader in real estate ever since.

With more than 30 years in the industry, Scott is just as passionate today as when he first began; always striving to help his clients achieve their property goals. Working from the Toorak office today, he predominately spends his time with established inner city property, lifestyle homes, development sites and project marketing boutique developments.

Scott’s philosophy is always to put the customer first and be a trusted advisor and friend in the business. He has many established clients who have remained loyal to him over the years and have also become great advocates. The unique brand of Scott Banks Real Estate is the brainchild of Scott’s outside-the-box thinking, which is not influenced by traditional outdated practices that aren’t his clients best interests.

His vision for the real estate industry is an industry that is respected and admired for its ethics, integrity, transparency, and congruency; an industry that offers genuine professional advice based on what’s best for clients in all circumstances, rather than generic real estate solutions. More specifically, his vision for Scott Banks Real Estate Group is a bespoke service that exceeds consumer expectations on all levels and is one of the most respected and admired businesses on the planet.

When he's not at the office he enjoys time with Gina, their two sons Zachary and Mitchell, and daughter Zara.

  • Dear Scott Re: Sale of “Edrom Park” 48 Dunns Road, Mt Martha I write on this day, as settlement has taken place of my above property, to provide my heartfelt appreciation and thanks to yourself, Scott, and your supportive staff member, Stan Katz. I have spent the past 17 years enjoying and adoring, as we always mentioned, “the best piece of real estate and land in Mt Martha”. The amazing qualities and lifestyle that ‘Edrom Park’ showcased was undoubtedly upheld and embraced to the highest level possible whilst for Exclusive Private Sale with Scott Banks Real Estate. Reflective of our first meeting mid 2015 at a similar showcase property in Mt Martha it was your individual style, experience and amazing professionalism, that was instantly appealing. These appeals ultimately lead me to discuss the sale of my cherished property ‘Edrom Park’. With exciting new ventures that lie head I am so pleased to have met the Scott Banks Real Estate Group and place your Agency as the No.1 Real Estate office to associate all future dealings with. Scott, it’s been an absolute delight dealing with you. Many thanks.

  • Thank you for your great assistance in finalising the sale of our clients property, which will probably remain in your memory as the most time-consuming and difficult sale of your career. At all times you were available to assist our clients and you approach was a very professional one and was very much appreciated by us. Your tenacity shows you were well named. We would have no hesitation to recommending you to other clients.

  • I am writing to express my appreciation for the way in which you marketed my home and so quickly achieved a sale price that was right up to my expectations. You hear many stories about how manipulative, misleading and tricky real estate agents can be. In your dealings with me you certainly proved that integrity still exists within the industry. You inspected my house, you gave an opinion of value which, from my personal research of properties within the area I knew to be an excellent price for such a property, and you promised that you would bring to inspect the property only those potential buyers who were genuine about their financial capacity and their interest in a home such as mine. You delivered on all counts. You told me you would go out and find a buyer. You did not confront me with excessive advertising and marketing charges. I was not inconvenienced by open days or short warnings about bringing people to inspect the property. There were inspections by only four different parties before the sale, which is testament to your policy of screening potential buyers so that you bring to a home only those whose buying specifications and financial capacity are a match for that particular property. Without hesitation I would choose to go with Scott Banks again should the need arise and would recommend you to all my family, friends and colleagues as a real estate agent you can trust to achieve the best possible price in the shortest possible time.

  • All done, all over, thanks so much. You are really an excellent hand holder and calmer downer. Could not have coped otherwise.

  • I recently had a difficult situation as I am currently residing overseas. My Property at the Linx apartments in Prahran was let 6 months ago. My tenant had to vacate early so I engaged the services of Scott Banks Real Estate to deal with finding me a new tenant and handling the condition report of which there was an issue to be sorted. Initially Scott Banks spoke with me personally and then he and his General Manager Gina Mathioulakis managed the situation with promptness and professionalism. It was reassuring and refreshing. I have dealt with many other agents in area and have quite often been disappointed. Everything was handled superbly, photos, script, advertising and most importantly finding me the right tenant. It certainly took the pressure off, particularly from afar. I highly recommend the services of Scott Banks and I look forward to them handling all my real estate requirements in rental and sales in the future.

  • Just a short note to thank you for negotiating, that was in the circumstances in the market, an excellent price for our home. Our patience together with the agreed marketing programme gave the exposure that was required to bring the potential purchasers to the door. Your results appear to have brought an excellent result for both purchaser and vendor. As advised our other properties which you have managed for the last four years may be for sale in a couple of years and we will discuss their marketing at that time. In the mean time continue to manage them in a manner that ensures they stay in good condition.

    REX & CATHY BARBER
  • Yes it is a great result for us. You are to be congratulated on your initiative in negotiating a sale acceptable to both parties.
