WHY YOU SHOULD CHOOSE SCOTT ATHMER

Scott is hardworking, knowledgeable, and loyal, with a deep passion for hunting, farming, and helping his clients reach their goals. After serving nearly 25 years in Law Enforcement, Scott re-dedicated his attention to his love of the outdoors. This focus allows him to combine his passion for helping others with his need to be outside and not trapped behind a desk. He has been a certified drone pilot for over 20 years, hunting and filming for different outdoor television shows. This unique experience affords him a different perspective when it comes to telling the story of your property! No one will work harder for you to help you reach your goals!

SCOTT ATHMER’S BACKGROUND

After serving 3 years in the US Army, he began his career in Law Enforcement. He earned his Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees while also working full time for the Highland Police Department. His career in law enforcement has provided him the opportunity to serve as a Patrolman, Detective, and Sergeant. He has also spent over 15 years with the Major Case Squad of Greater St. Louis and the Child Death Investigation Task Force, serving both as an investigator and Deputy Commander with each organization.

Scott obtained his real estate license in 2018 while preparing for his retirement from law enforcement. He transitioned quickly, putting his years of experience in public service and negotiation to work in real estate and became a top producer for Trophy Properties and Auction in 2020 and 2024.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Scott grew up in Southern Illinois, and his work ethic, hunting, and farming background go back to his childhood. He spent countless hours with his friends and family hunting the Carlyle Lake area, chasing anything that was in season at the time. His dedication to chasing mature whitetails eventually won out. He has assisted several landowners with setting up their properties to attract and improve their deer population.

Recreational farms are not his only passion. He worked on his uncle’s farm growing up, milked cows in high school, and worked with his father-in-law farming after returning home from the Army. He understands the farming industry and has a passion for serving families and farmers in their desires for their property and business. Scott’s family ties to agriculture, his love of the outdoors, and his passion for farms and farmers seems to be a quality he is passing on to the next generation as his son, Josh, is continuing his education in agriculture at the University of Illinois with plans to pursue a degree in large animal veterinary science.

When he is not working, Scott enjoys hunting and spending time outdoors on their family property. The best days are spent there with his mom and dad, his wife, Heather, and his children, Abby and Josh. He is very active in his community and serves as the range safety officer for the Highland High School Trap Team.

"We recently had the pleasure of working with Scott Athmer on the purchase of a commercial building, and we couldn't be more impressed with the experience! From start to finish, Scott was professional, knowledgeable, and truly went above and beyond to help us find the perfect property.

What stood out most was his deep understanding of the market and his attention to detail. He listened to our needs and preferences, and tailored the search to ensure we were looking at properties that met all of our criteria. Every step of the process was seamless – from the initial search to negotiating the deal, Scott made sure everything was taken care of.

Not only did he help us secure an amazing building at a great price, but they were also incredibly responsive and communicative, always keeping us updated. We felt supported every step of the way, and we truly appreciated his honest advice and dedication to ensuring we made the best decision."

"I worked with Scott on the sale of my property and he was the most amazing realtor I have dealt with as far as property for Hunting goes. He was with me every step of the way any little question you had just give him a call. Never too busy to handle your problems or questions. I would recommend him to everyone that wanted to sell Hunting property. I’d like to give him 10 stars, but it doesn’t go that high"

"Scott Athmer with Trophy Properties was absolutely amazing! He was professional and personal all at the same time. My wife and I were looking for the perfect piece of land to build our forever home, and Scott found that for us. His knowledge of hunting, farming, and forestry makes him the ideal realtor to talk about land. I appreciate his honesty and expertise in this area since we were buying with quite a bit of trees and uneven terrain; he helped us envision where our house would go and which trees were worth saving, how even to shape the land. It made my wife and I see where we could raise our family and call our home. One of the best realtors I've ever worked with. We did not feel pressured at all, and he let us take our time to decide if the land was right for us. Scott was always available and willing to meet with us even after our work schedules. He made the process of buying land extremely easy. I would highly recommend Scott if you are looking for your dream home/land!"
