Scott Properties Group

After nearly three decades in the property management business, I’ve learned that strong relationships and clear communication are the foundations for success. When you are responsible for other people’s assets, trust is everything — and that extends to banking.

In 2023, as market disruptions led to several local bank closures, multiple industry peers referred me to 1st Century Bank. From my first meeting with my Relationship Manager, Sev, I knew this was a different kind of bank. Sev and his team are professional, pragmatic and incredibly responsive. When I had an issue transferring funds between accounts, I simply sent a text to Sev and it was handled immediately. That level of accessibility and service is rare, and it’s exactly why I moved my entire portfolio to 1CB. 

Moving a large portfolio isn’t an easy decision I take lightly, but I had complete confidence in 1st Century. Their client-first approach has eliminated so much of the stress that often comes with banking. 1CB truly understands the property management business and they focus on how they can support your business. Having a banking partner that is truly invested in our success has made all the difference.
