John L. Scott names new president

John L. Scott Real Estate Chairman and CEO, J. Lennox Scott, announced Monday that Joe Spencer has been appointed to president of John L. Scott Real Estate.

Spencer was formerly COO of Coldwell Banker Bain Associates and Barbara Sue Seal Properties, and president of Bain Services Group.

Spencer assumes the position from former president and COO, Jerry L. Moon, who has been appointed vice chairman of John L. Scott Real Estate.
“I’m looking forward to working with the quality team at John L. Scott Real Estate,” said Spencer. “I’ve enjoyed watching the company grow over the years and am excited about contributing to its continued growth as a full service real estate company.”

As President, Spencer will oversee the operations of John L. Scott’s Washington and Oregon corporate-owned offices, as well as the John L. Scott Network — the franchising division of John L. Scott Real Estate.
In addition, he will use his extensive experience in managing integrated residential services to oversee the operations of John L. Scott’s client transaction services, including Response Mortgage, TranServ, First West Escrow, and Lawyer’s Title Agency.

“Under Joe’s direction and leadership John L. Scott is poised to go from great to greater,” said Moon. “He is a person of high integrity and capability; I’m confident he will continue to lead John L. Scott into a future of successful growth.”

Jerry L. Moon joined John L. Scott Real Estate as vice president of sales and marketing in 1990. In 1991 he became executive vice president and in 2002 he was appointed to president and COO. As vice chairman of John L. Scott Real Estate, Jerry will support the transition of the new president while working directly with the chairman/CEO and president on future growth strategies of John L. Scott Real Estate.

“John L. Scott Real Estate is privileged to have the continued support of Jerry Moon as Vice Chairman,” said J. Lennox Scott. “He has been integral to our growth and success, enabling us to become one of the most productive real estate companies in the nation. I look forward to the important role he will assume as vice chairman, helping to strengthen our position as a leader in the industry for the future.”
