Raised in the heart of Franklin, Scott McElhinney has an authentic connection to the area and a genuine passion for its people and property. Scott began his real estate career in Australia before returning home, and over the past 17 years, he has built a reputation as a leading authority in lifestyle and rural luxury high-end properties. Recognised as a master negotiator, Scott has cultivated an extensive network of clients and buyers in the luxury lifestyle market, consistently delivering exceptional results.

Combined with his experience and in-depth understanding of Franklin’s growth and ever-changing property market, this expertise has seen him recognised as a multi award winner including the number one Rural and Lifestyle Salesperson at Barfoot & Thompson for an extraordinary 11 consecutive years.

With more than $1.2 billion in sales, Scott’s results speak for themselves. His success is built not only on performance, but on strong and lasting relationships. Working alongside his Luxury Lifestyle Team, including Ruby McPherson, Desley Staveley, Jenni Cowell, and Gemma Shorter, Scott provides informed advice, consistent communication, and personalised service at every stage of the process.

Scott and his team understand that every property has its own story and its own ideal buyer. No two campaigns are the same. Each is tailored to the home’s unique character, highlighting what makes it special and connecting it with the right audience.

By combining the latest real estate technology with carefully chosen marketing strategies and always evolving with the market, the team continually adapts their approach to ensure clients remain ahead of the curve. Grounded in strong results, expert negotiation skills, and genuine client care, Scott and The Luxury Lifestyle Team bring experience, integrity, and professionalism to every real estate journey, making every sale a remarkable success.

Testimonials

Toni - January 2026

"This was the easiest house sale ever. We used agents prior to Scott and Simone, and they couldn’t get their head around the uniqueness of our place. Scott and Simone had interest quickly and offers following soon after. They kept us well informed and advised us where we needed it. Thank you to the team for a stress free experience."

Lynette & Paul - January 2026

"We found Scott very approachable and professional. Scott was very easy to contact at any time. We would recommend."
