Most people who know J. Scott Scheel and his work in real estate will know him as one of today’s go-to experts on commercial real estate investing. But the serial entrepreneur’s influence goes well beyond property markets and into the business of changing people’s lives by educating them on how to grow wealth with tested and proven finance principles and practices.
Scheel is known as one of the country’s leading investors, developers, and educators with twenty-five years of experience in real estate and seventeen in education and public speaking. His property portfolio is valued at over $600 million and over 6 million square feet of managed commercial spaces. As a speaker, he has addressed millions and trained over 100,000 students in person.
The realty and business expert came from humble backgrounds. Scheel first got into real estate without a college degree or any prior experience. But he was dedicated to becoming a better version of himself. “I discovered in my own way that I can add value to others even without a college degree and without having a lot of money,” he says. “I learned on my own, through passion and hard work, and, with the support of gracious mentors, what strategies to use and when to apply them.” Today, he generously shares his wealth of knowledge with like-minded individuals who look to achieve more in life through real estate investing.
In addition to real estate, Scheel has a hand in running other businesses as well, including development and management, print and digital publishing, film production, commercial finance, energy resources, transportation, medical research and development, and internet marketing. All in all, the business and entrepreneurship expert has thrived across various industries and cemented his place in the hall of American business greats.
He is also the founder and creator of Commercial Academy, the premiere online educational platform for training aspiring entrepreneurs, investors, and real estate professionals on everything that pertains to commercial real estate. He equips people on the basics and more advanced tactics for investing in the right commercial properties, apartments, and retail spaces through his online courses.
Commercial Academy also features a prestigious coaching program that provides entrants with full access to regular conferences and webinars, a support group, and access to an abundance of resources that will help investors and realtors multiply their results in record time.
A constant innovator, Scheel has also developed CommercialHUB™, a proprietary software that accurately calculates property valuations and helps investors discover pricing trends based on concrete metrics and data. The software empowers realtors by creating a Google Maps-powered virtual visit system that mimics a virtual setting’s property walkthrough experience.

Scott Scheel finds the most satisfaction in developing programs that assemble and equip professionals from all walks of life who want to improve their lifestyle and attain more success and happiness.
