About

Scott Sharp became a licensed real estate agent in December 2018, beginning his career with Cooper & Cooper Real Estate and never looking back. During his time at the firm, Scott completed 109 rental transactions, gaining extensive experience working with clients and navigating New York City’s fast-moving rental market.

In 2020, Scott joined The Corcoran Group, where he shifted his focus toward apartment sales. Leveraging his relationships on the Upper West Side, particularly within Lincoln Towers, Scott quickly established himself as one of the leading sales agents in Corcoran’s West Side Gallery office and earned a place in the firm’s Multi-Million Dollar Club during his first full calendar year.

Over four years at Corcoran, Scott completed 46 sales transactions and 52 rental transactions, representing buyers, sellers, landlords, and tenants throughout Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens. During that time, he developed a particular expertise in Lincoln Towers and the surrounding Upper West Side, building relationships and market knowledge that would ultimately become a cornerstone of his business.
As his business grew, Scott increasingly saw an opportunity to approach residential real estate differently. He wanted the freedom to provide a more personal level of service, move quickly, remain flexible on behalf of his clients, and build a business around the principles he believed mattered most. In January 2025, he left Corcoran to launch Sharp Brokerage, a real estate firm founded on a simple philosophy: work harder, communicate clearly, and make the real estate process as straightforward as possible.

Since launching Sharp Brokerage, Scott has completed 34 sales transactions totaling approximately $23 million in sales volume, further establishing himself as one of the most active brokers working within Lincoln Towers and the surrounding Upper West Side. Across his career, he has now completed more than 240 residential real estate transactions, giving him experience across virtually every stage of the buying, selling, and leasing process. His career totals include 80 sales transactions representing approximately $63 million in sales volume, along with more than 161 rental transactions.

Scott maintains an office at Lincoln Towers and has developed an extensive network of owners, buyers, building staff, management professionals, attorneys, lenders, and other industry contacts throughout the community. His familiarity with the buildings, their policies, apartment lines, sales history, and day-to-day nuances gives his clients a level of insight that goes well beyond what can be found in a listing or comparable-sales report.

Scott’s approach to real estate is rooted in hard work, transparency, realism, and first-principles thinking. He believes clients are best served by straightforward advice, honest expectations, constant communication, and a broker who is willing to do whatever it takes to move a transaction forward. As the owner of an independent brokerage, he also has the flexibility to make decisions based on what is best for his clients rather than being constrained by the policies of a large firm.
Whether representing a longtime owner, a first-time buyer, an estate, or a client navigating both a sale and purchase at the same time, Scott approaches every transaction with the same goal: simplify the process, protect his client’s interests, and deliver the best possible outcome.

Originally from Lexington, Kentucky, Scott has called New York home for many years. He lives with his wife and two children and remains an avid University of Kentucky sports fan. His guiding philosophy, both in business and in life, is simple: Hard Work Always Wins.

CORE VALUES

After successful tenures at Cooper & Cooper Real Estate and The Corcoran Group, I made the decision to launch my own firm—one built on two guiding principles: TRUST and RELATIONSHIPS. These are the pillars of any successful real estate transaction, and the foundation on which Sharp Brokerage was created.
To uphold these principles in every interaction, Sharp Brokerage operates with Five Core Values:

1. Hard Work

We go above and beyond—always. Whether preparing a listing, negotiating a deal, or navigating board requirements, our clients and customers receive relentless effort and unwavering commitment.

2. Transparency

There is no room for games, hidden agendas, or half-truths in this business. With so much at stake, our clients are fully informed at every step. If we know it, you know it.

3. Simplification

Real estate is complicated enough. We cut through the noise, eliminate unnecessary steps, and streamline the process so every transaction feels smooth, clear, and manageable.

4. Realism

We skip the marketing fluff and avoid cherry-picked statistics. Our messaging is direct, honest, and grounded in data. We remain optimistic—but never at the expense of being realistic.

5. First Principles Thinking

We don't rely on generic industry assumptions. Instead, we break each situation down to the client's most fundamental goals.
