Scott E. Yancey (born July 9, 1969) is a TV personality, businessman, real estate investor, and author. He is best known for his role on the A&E television series, Flipping Vegas, a modern reality TV show in which Scott and his wife, Amie Yancey purchase and repair dilapidated homes in the Las Vegas Valley, and attempt to flip them for profit.
Yancey was born on July 9, 1969 in Los Angeles County, California, and raised in Studio City, California, where he attended North Hollywood High School.
Yancey married his future Flipping Vegas costar, Amie, on January 26, 2000. Yancey has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. As of 2014, the couple had a pet dog, a dachshund named Tallulah. The couple also owns two Rhodesian ridgeback dogs named Flip and Zuma, two friesian horses named Henke and Tieme, two mini pigs named Bacon Bits and Lucy, and a mini donkey named JackAss.
Yancey made his first real estate deal at the age of 14, when he received an insurance settlement of $30,000, which he used to purchase the 2nd deed of trust for a home mortgage as an investment with a 14% interest rate.
While enrolled in college, Yancey was hired to be a runner by Walter J. Plumb III, a Real Estate Attorney and investor. Yancey continued to work with Plumb assisting in multiple real estate transactions such as the purchase of a 40-unit apartment complex and converting it to condos along with assembling dozens of land deals subdividing them into over 3000 lots. Now working independently of Plumb, Yancey began developing retail department stores in Las Vegas, Provo, Utah, and Tempe, Arizona.
After selling his department stores and choosing to return to his real estate roots, Yancey relocated to Las Vegas in 1994. In 2008, Yancey founded the Las Vegas-based Goliath Company, a real estate brokerage and investment firm. Goliath Company focuses on investment properties, the buy & hold approach and finding land to entitle and subsidize by selling to large private companies; which they have managed to do for a few thousand lots.
