  • Scotty Elynow is an absolute GEM!! We got lucky - while selling our San Francisco home and looking to purchase in NYC, our SF Compass relator recommended Scotty as the "GO TO" agent in the West Village. In all the many years we’ve been buying/selling our homes (10 times) TRUST is the most important character trait we look for in a Real Estate agent. And Scotty is someone to be trusted.

He has a style that is amicable, calm, and he is quite easy to work with. He is always available to help with even the smallest question or problem. I am so glad that I had Scotty to guide me through the process. He is terrific!

More about scotty


Scotty became a proud community member in the West Village over two decades ago. Scotty lives and breathes New York and is a consistent volunteer in the neighborhood while adhering to its well-established Bohemian ethos.

Scotty knows the West Village, building by building, block by block, and loves educating buyers on the process and finding their dream home while avoiding pitfalls. He is a lover of great design, beautiful architecture, and New York History. He has transacted in most parts of Manhattan from uptown to downtown and several Brooklyn neighborhoods helping buyers make wise choices in areas they may not have initially considered. Scott is a proud New Yorker, a strong and fiercely loyal advocate for his clients, a dedicated volunteer for the last 15 years year-round at The ELM Project (a non-profit that enhances the lives of underserved youth living with chronic illness by providing an enriching summer camp experience and the tools for a healthy, independent future), and a respected industry veteran.

His proudest achievements are his loyal and repeat clients and his 20 years of volunteering locally. Prior to NYC, Scotty lived in Los Angeles working under a top music producer dealing with A-List artists. He has studied acting and voiceovers for several years in Florida, LA, and NYC. 95% of Scotty's business is referrals and generations of the same family have transacted through him, his most humbling validation. Scotty is a West Village resident, and a Boston area native with family in NYC and all over the US.

A DJ and Public Radio host in a past life, Scotty is also a huge music nerd (check out Scotty on Apple Music, Spotify and Clubhouse). His interests include jazz, guitar, technology, film, documentaries, NPR, PBS, and travel. He is also an active member of the Village Preservation (Greenwich Village Society for Historical Preservation), the Christopher Street Park Alliance, The Center, The Charles Street Association, The ELM Project, and was a member of the Jewish Big Brothers of Los Angeles. Helping build a strong, friendly, safe, and diverse community is of utmost importance to Scotty and he lives by the same values: respect for the client, ethics, and integrity will always be his guiding principle.
