Scott Swanson

Born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, Scott Swanson brings deep-rooted knowledge of the Midwestern market and an elite academic foundation to his role as Director at BellStreet. He graduated magna cum laude from DePaul University with a B.S. in Real Estate, pairing formal expertise with a data-driven, strategic approach to commercial property.

Scott has successfully navigated both residential and commercial transactions since 2018, earning a reputation for protecting his clients' interests and identifying strong investment opportunities. Scott’s career is defined by his multi-faceted understanding of asset management, deal structuring, and portfolio growth. He has navigated the complexities of property valuation, underwriting, and high-value acquisitions on a national scale.

At BellStreet, Scott’s true bread and butter lies in value-add industrial and retail assets. His ability to dissect complex financial documentation and execute strategic repositioning ensures his clients maximize cash flow and long-term appreciation.

A true city guy with a lifelong passion for the outdoors, Scott grew up skiing around the same time he learned to walk, and later picked up snowboarding. He has also been sailing since a young age and maintains a strong affinity for anything on, in, or under the water. Driven by a lifelong competitive spirit, Scott has competed in high-level strategic gaming—a hobby he continues today, which has honed the quick tactical thinking and composure that he brings to the negotiation table.

Director

Chicago, IL

  • "My siblings and I unexpectedly inherited several vacant commercial properties with no insight, prior knowledge, or experience in this field. We managed to connect with a BellStreet agent and from our very first meeting we could tell we were in good hands. Our BellStreet agent has consistently proven to be hard-working, problem solving, and always going above and beyond. We have been more than satisfied working with BellStreet and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and dedicated professional to have on their side."

  • "BellStreet helped my family sell a distressed office building which we’ve had tenant issues with for the past few years. During our first meeting, BellStreet advised us on a few small steps we could take to get the property ready for sale without having to incur significant costs. BellStreet’s earnest approach, clear expertise with the commercial real estate market and most importantly, understanding of our unique situation convinced us they were the right brokerage to take on this listing. Working with BellStreet really made a big difference because we started receiving offers almost immediately. It was a complicated deal, but BellStreet helped us navigate our way through the process and got us to the closing table with the right buyer."
