Sundiata Soon-Jahta (a.k.a Scott Speed)
Homeownership continues to elude many Americans. Statistics show that student loan debt and high down payments have locked people into renting for longer than in previous generations. With this in mind, I offer a "Pay It Forward" cash back rebate program for lower and middle-income families to assist with closing costs or other moving-related expenses. Contact me to learn more.
The impacts of climate change are being felt in communities all across the United States and around the world. One of the ways that we can help fight climate change is to offset our carbon footprint by purchasing carbon offsets. The purchase of carbon offsets funds projects, like rainforest conservation, that prevent greenhouse gas emissions from being released into the atmosphere.
I purchase 12 months' worth of carbon offsets from Gold Standard Climate+ on behalf of my clients after each closing. In addition to protecting the climate, every Gold Standard Climate+ project also supports local communities with sustainable development benefits like providing safe drinking water, protecting forests, improving health, or creating local jobs.
Going paperless is one highly effective way to help the environment. To date, an e-signature service that I use has saved about 1 million square feet of forest --more than 60,000 trees-- by helping their customers replace common paper-based processes with e-signatures and digital transactions management.
Sustainability Partners are grassroots organizations with missions rooted in social and/or environmental justice and sustainability. After each sale or purchase of a home, my clients choose a Sustainability Partner from my site, and I give $100 to that organization.
I also give $500 - $2000 to Sustainability partners if someone they refer buys or sells a home with me.

"Working with Sundiata was a great experience! He provided great insight on the best practices to get our home sold fast! The information he offered was clear and concise. Ultimately helping us sell our property at a higher price than listed in a very efficient time frame."

"Working with Sundiata has always been a pleasure. When looking to purchase my first home, I came across an ad regarding Sundiata's services. As a result, he became my agent and we closed to deal. My experience with him was so positive and pleasant that when looking to sell my home nearly 6 years later, I sought out Sundiata! I knew he was the man for the job! His body of knowledge and personal real estate experience is high-level and presented with excellence. Sundiata's reputation speaks for him and he comes highly recommended by many."

Sundiata was a lifesaver for us! We were down to the wire on our lease and needed to move immediately. I contacted him hoping he could assist me with finding a rental property as he did in 2013 - it was a long shot but I did and he jumped right in and assisted us. He does not typically deal with rentals anymore but he was so willing to assist me even though we were on a time crunch. He found us a rental in LESS than 10 days and we had been searching for nearly 3 months! I know results may not be typical but both instances I used his services I was thoroughly pleased with the outcome! He is professional and positive - when I was stressed he was calm. I hope I never have to use anyone else! I could not have asked for a better realtor and would recommend all of my friends to him!
