Scott Ubersox

Executive Vice President

Scott Ubersox, Executive Vice President of Real Estate, oversees the national portfolio of more than 700 Rate offices around the country. His team is responsible for the establishment of new locations as well as supporting all existing branches. He also manages the team that handles various construction projects at each branch location along with improvements at the corporate offices.

Among the most fulfilling of these office improvements was the full renovation of the 8,000 square-foot rooftop deck at the Chicago headquarters, complete with both work and lounge spaces, outdoor cooking areas, firepits, and game tables. The space is used to host events, as well as kick back and relax with colleagues and is integral to the spirit of the company. Responsible for a huge part of the company’s winning culture, Scott enjoys attending after-hours events with his colleagues—particularly the annual manager ping-pong tournament, which he’s won two years in a row.

Additionally, Scott’s team is responsible for managing vendor relationships, ensuring they’re consistent with Rate’s core business values.

“Expanding Rate’s presence from a physical standpoint is extremely fulfilling and also very demanding,” explains Scott. “My role is to keep up with our astonishing growth without losing our unique identity. This is a special company and we have ambitious growth plans—maintaining our core values while increasing our national footprint is a big challenge, but it’s a challenge I enjoy taking on.”

As a member of the executive team, Scott is an integral part of the company’s growth and development. He is passionate about helping others reach their truest potential and committed to supporting his team, coworkers, and the community around him.

He serves as the Co-Chair of the Rate Foundation, helping raise millions of dollars to give directly to individuals and families in dire need of assistance around the country.

“The ‘Grow for Good’ core value is something I am truly passionate about,” says Scott. “While heading the real estate portfolio for the company, I have participated in the physical growth of the company and use that same positive energy to grow the Rate Foundation. As the Foundation grows, we are able to obtain more exposure, which allows us to ultimately help more people in need.”

What started as a single donation to help a fellow employee whose home burned down, the Foundation has grown over the years—granting over $4 million to more than 350 families across the nation—working closely with people in crisis to offer assistance customized to their unique situation.

“Helping others succeed and watching people push the envelope to grow by helping Rate get to the next level—that’s what it’s all about. Thinking about the new possibilities for my team, and ultimately for the company, is what really gets me up in the morning.”
