Driven to succeed from an early age, Scott started working at the age of fourteen, and from there he's grown to see all different aspects of business, with real estate in particular. Over the course of his 21-year career in real estate, he's developed expert-level communication, management, and negotiation skills, which in turn have set the way for his path to success.
Scott Ulmer grew up outside of Tampa, to a family with little money. This taught him how to appreciate the little things in life that most people take for granted.

At the age of 26, he won the "20 Under 40" Award for a business he founded, called the "Aspiring Minds of Toledo."
