Meet Scott

Realtor® | Coastside Relocation & Lifestyle Specialist
Serving Moss Beach • Half Moon Bay • El Granada • Montara • San Mateo County Coastside

Scott Benson brings a creative edge, entrepreneurial spirit, and collaborative mindset to every real estate transaction. With a professional journey that spans TV, film, advertising, and now real estate, Scott has cultivated a powerful blend of communication, storytelling, and strategic thinking that makes him a standout Realtor® along the San Mateo County Coastside.

Originally from Atlanta, Scott spent his career working between both coasts—but the West Coast always felt like home. Today, as a proud Moss Beach resident, he helps others find that same sense of belonging by matching buyers with homes that truly fit their lifestyle. Whether assisting first-time homebuyers, retirees seeking a slower pace, or couples relocating to the coast, Scott’s mission is simple: help every client find the perfect place to call home.

Scott holds a degree in journalism and spent decades in film and television production, including leadership roles at Turner Broadcasting and Warner Bros. There, he produced and directed more than 22 award-winning documentaries, interviewing hundreds of Hollywood legends, civil rights pioneers, and community leaders. Those interviews shaped his worldview—and his approach to service. “I’ve learned so much by listening to people’s stories,” Scott says. “In real estate, I do the same—I listen carefully to what matters most and help guide clients to the outcome they want.”

His transition to real estate started as a personal passion, buying and selling properties on the side before turning it into a full-time career in 2019. Today, he applies his keen eye for design, storytelling, and human connection to help buyers and sellers navigate the Coastside real estate market with creativity and confidence.

Scott lives in Moss Beach with his husband, a pilot, and spends his free time skiing, playing tennis, hitting the golf course, and enjoying the beauty of the Northern California coastline. He’s also a committed community member, currently serving on his local high school’s Health and Wellness Committee, which helps address the emotional and physical needs of students.

With a strong sense of purpose and an eye for what makes a house a home, Scott Benson offers a uniquely thoughtful, creative, and service-driven approach to real estate—backed by real-world experience, professionalism, and a deep love for the Coastside.
