Scott Harris on HGTV’s Good Buy

Helping buyers choose between two homes

Portland’s local inspection expert

Two homes, one decision

Scott Harris is a local Portland expert featured on HGTV’s series Good Buy. On the show, Scott helps buyers decide between two homes they want, when they’re unsure which one is best.

He inspects both homes, then advises the buyers on what repairs are needed and what they’ll cost. He also talks them through the cost of the renovations they’re interested in, and how practical those plans really are.
