About Scott

No commission is worth our reputation. I was born into my Father’s Real Estate Business and I followed in his footsteps. He always had a great reputation and it is my obligation to keep that reputation intact. The Bernardsville office has almost 50 agents and covers Somerset, Hunterdon, Morris, Warren and Union Counties. I’ve spent the last 20 years coaching and mentoring agents as Branch Vice President. Here’s what a few have said. Please call me to see how I can help grow your business. Testimonials Scott Bruen is an excellent manager. Having grown up with parents who owned a real estate brokerage, and building his own career in the industry, he has a lifetime of experience and knowledge which he freely shares. Scott has a very positive and steady approach - which is necessary in a business which has daily highs and lows- he serves as a centerboard and keeps things on an even keel, regardless of the situation. He also has an easy way with any personality type- which gives him the ability to corral a group of independent real estate agents and create a team feel to the office. After 30 years in the business world, I started my real estate career later in life. I chose the office Scott managed because of all of the above. With his encouragement and support, I have been able to rise to the top 5 agents in the office in 4 years. I would not have been able to do this without Scott as my manager and coach. Barbara Schmidt-Kemp Scott Bruen recruited me to the Coldwell Banker Madison Office two years ago. From our very first meeting Scott’s willingness to spend time listening, answering my questions and imparting his 40 years of real estate wisdom was an undeniable key to my success. He always answered my call even on a weekend, when I was negotiating my very first house, he expertly walked me through a multiple offer negotiation. One of Scott’s other skills was he always knew when to pull back and let me learn and when to push me out of my comfort zone. He is honest, ethical and a great coach. He is a real gem and I would recommend Scott as a manager to anyone wanting to be a real estate agent or looking for a firm and manager who will help them make money! Carol Martorana You are a consummate professional that always made time for his people. You did it with grace and patience, qualities that I would someday like to possess, myself. As a former manager, I understand the demands and stresses of the position. I have had many managers over a 30 plus year career and you are in the top 2. So, thanks for that. I enjoyed coming in to work with you and will miss that very much. You were vital in helping me build my business and for that I will always be grateful. Coldwell Banker is lucky to have someone with your character and expertise representing them. Scott and Amy Spelker
