J. Scott Scheel’s climb to success is one that was unaided by privileges of any sort. He did not get a college education, but nevertheless, he went on to establish himself as a nationally recognized commercial real estate investor and developer. Scheel has been quoted many times calling himself a blessed man, and rightfully so since he is indeed blessed. With a happily married wife and six children, Scheel finds enough reasons every day to persevere in his mission.

In his own words, “My amazing family constantly teaches and reminds me that we all have critically important responsibilities to be good human beings. They keep me grounded and grateful. They are my reason to continue to work hard and give my all every day. Best of all, what I have accomplished can be done by anyone of any race, gender, age, physical condition, ethnicity, faith, sexual orientation, etc. I have developed programs and assembled a complete team of professionals to empower anyone who wants this lifestyle and level of success and happiness.”

His personal life drives him to do many things, and a major part of his commitment to change lives was the establishment of his training academy, Commercial Academy. Scheel does not deny his achievements and success in the real estate industry. He knows many people want to attain his level of success, and being the large-hearted human being that he is, he created a medium through which people can acquire his strategies and methods.

Scheel comes from a lineage with diverse roots in Germany, Ireland, Slovenia, Italy, and Croatia. This diversity is why he welcomes everyone regardless of gender, ethnicity, race, faith, and sexual orientation. He strongly believes anybody can achieve real estate success, and he is doing his part to help as many people as possible attain that success.

Scheel currently manages a large portfolio of more than six million square feet of commercial real estate, so his lessons, tips, and strategies are based on extensive real-world experience. “Despite my extensive portfolio of commercial real estate, my real passion is helping others get into investing in commercial real estate and helping them achieve their financial dreams. So anyone looking to delve into real estate can take advantage of Scott’s training academy.”

Scheel has won the Wall Street Journal-recognized Congressional Businessman of the Year award twice. He strongly believes that anybody can go into real estate if they want to, regardless of how much money they have. Scheel went into the business with nothing — not even enough money for a full down payment — and after 25 years of investing and 17 years of teaching the business, he has had many opportunities to go through many doors.

Scheel is on a mission to help thousands of people achieve their real estate investment goals and financial freedom. Over the years, he has transformed communities and contributed tremendously to creating employment opportunities all over the United States. Scott has vested interests in other business areas like publishing (print, digital, podcasting, and broadcasting), feature-length motion picture production (with multiple award-winning films), commercial finance, energy resources and transportation, medical research and development, internet marketing, educational services, and others.
