[5][6] It was around that time when he decided to focus on raising his family,[4] and they moved to a horse farm in the nearby town of Maple Ridge, British Columbia.

[9] They looked through the help wanted ads, but ultimately started a business with their mother called JAM (for Jon, Andrew, and Mom) making nylon-wrapped clothes hangers.

[14] He studied the definitive volumes of Tarbell Course in Magic, and sought out professional illusionists David Wilson and Shawn Farquhar, who became mentors and friends.

[1] James would commonly renovate the family properties and paid the boys when they were as young as eight to build and repair fences, decks and barns.

[25] After researching the topic, and getting advice from their mother's legal firm,[26] they thought real estate would "ease the financial purgatory of being out-of-work actors".

[3] During their first semester in college, using a vendor take-back mortgage,[27] they made a $250 down payment and purchased a seven-bedroom property across the street from their university.

[26] At 19, Scott moved to Vancouver and began to build large-scale illusions with the goal of eventually developing a touring theater show.

[25][38] Along the way, they supported themselves with a string of jobs that included busboy, mall security guard, flight attendant, store manager, and website designer.

[40][41] That same year, the twins founded Scott Real Estate Inc., a company to provide clients with a "one stop shop" for services in the buying, selling, and renovation of homes, as well as in design consulting and staging open houses.

[12] Before getting married, Scott and his wife had regularly visited Las Vegas, drawn to the city's live entertainment scene.

[27] When the Canadian real estate market collapsed in 2008, Scott saw an opportunity to buy cheap properties in the U.S., where the recession was further along.

[44] Convincing JD to come with them,[45] Scott and his wife left for Las Vegas that December,[45] making their home in the nearby suburb of Summerlin, Nevada.

[50] Meanwhile, the twins delegated their private clients to colleagues in their network of brokers and trade professionals,[40] and Scott put his magic aspirations on hold.

The twins decided to sell their homes and jointly purchase a property in 2011,[5] with the goal of establishing a hub for their extended family and friends.

[44] Scott, now separated from his wife,[12] began searching for a place that met all of their criteria (primarily within 20 minutes of the airport),[27] and they ultimately purchased a foreclosed house for $400,000.

[44] With a renovation budget of US$2 million,[27] the project became the basis of a fourth television series, Property Brothers: At Home.

[68] The twins have been sought out as experts in their fields and are invited to lectures and workshops as guest speakers to provide insight on the real estate business.

[69][70] In December 2016, Scott participated in the sixth annual 24 Hours of Reality broadcast, advocating for the repeal of laws that discourage residential solar power installation.

[80] The twins appeared in the first five episodes of the web series Tiny House Arrest, produced by their production company, which debuted in January 2016.

[82] In a March 2018 interview, Jonathan revealed that he and Drew had written an illustrated children's book,[83] Builder Brothers: Big Plans.

[87] As part of At Home on the Ranch, the twins sang and recorded (for the first time as The Scott Brothers) two country singles.

[67] "Hold On" hit number 38 on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart and was accompanied by a music video that has more than 5 million views on Vevo.

[92] On January 12, 2017, The Scott Brothers released a third song, "My House", featuring Eric Paslay, and announced that all of the proceeds would be donated to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

[93] The song's accompanying music video was filmed at the twins' home in Las Vegas and features various celebrity cameos, including Carrot Top, Lindsay Ell, and RaeLynn.

[94] The Scotts' high school drama teacher used her connections to get them small TV roles, including in a Molson Canadian commercial that aired during the Grey Cup.

Brother, Glamour wrote, "Yes, we've all always harbored massive crushes on the twins, but let's just say they are taking their sex appeal to all new levels—ripped-shirts, greased-muscles, water-sprayed levels of hotness.

"[120] Scott has sizable followings on various social media platforms, including Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and Periscope,[7] where he universally uses the handle "MrSilverScott".

The two worked with famous "Viners" including Vincent Marcus, Manon Mathews, Sara Hopkins, BrittleStar, NeatDude, and Gregor Reynolds.

According to the organization, the honor was "in recognition and furtherance of their dedication to Habitat for Humanity's vision of a world where everyone has a decent place to live".

[139] In an interview with HollywoodLife, Scott revealed that he and Zooey Deschanel had started dating after meeting on an August 2019 segment of Carpool Karaoke.
