Zach is very responsive and attention to detail is very impressive. I highly recommend Zach to represent you for your real estate / ADU needs. We’re working on a single family home conversion with a detached garage

One of the things my wife and I really appreciate about Zach is that he’s not in it for himself—he’s in it for you, and he makes that clear from the very beginning. His actions back that up every step of the way.

This was our first home purchase, and like many first-time buyers, we were told not to expect a “deal”—just to get in the market and start building equity. But Zach found us a steal. And let’s be honest—agents usually keep those kinds of deals for themselves, their friends, or longtime clients. We didn’t know Zach at all before this process. But he still led us straight to an incredible opportunity and walked us through it with care and clarity.

He demystified the homebuying process, answered all our questions, and was patient when we didn’t fully understand something. He made what could have been an overwhelming experience feel completely manageable.

More than that, Zach is a man of faith. He made it clear that his business is grounded in serving Christ first—and because of that, he serves people with integrity, transparency, and humility. He’s not just working for clients; he’s working to honor the Lord. And as a result, he’s built a trustworthy, growing business.

If you’re looking for a realtor who’s genuinely in your corner and not just in it for a commission, we can’t recommend Zach enough. We feel incredibly blessed to have been connected with him.

Zach is a professional, talented, and experienced agent. My wife and I used Zach to sell our rental property. Zach was able to provide me a sound strategy on the timing of the sale to preparation and execution. Throughout the entire process, Zach did a great job of leaning in to requirements, projecting future obstacles, and holding strong with our agreed upon strategy when market excitement was trying to manipulate emotions. I can’t give a higher recommendation for Zach and will continue to use him for all future real estate transactions in San Diego County!

I can’t recommend Zach Plumb highly enough! He is incredibly trustworthy, hardworking, and honest — qualities that are so important when choosing a realtor. His deep knowledge of the market, real estate development, and expansion opportunities made him an invaluable partner throughout the entire process. I always felt confident that he had my best interests at heart and that I could fully trust his advice. If you’re looking for someone who truly goes above and beyond, Zach is the realtor you want on your side. I wholeheartedly recommend him!

This was our 3rd time selling a home and Zach was the best agent we've ever worked with. He has a dialed in process, he's organized and he's data driven... all things that resonated with me in a big way. He is a great communicator and he's honest, but also leaves decisions up to us as the client. We took Zach's advice in every way because he does this every day... and we'd do it all over again the same way. He helped us get far beyond I ever would've expected for our home. The entire process went by so quick, but his organized approach kept things flowing and simple. He is a smart guy and he knows the market and what he's doing. I 100% recommend him to anyone selling or buying a home. I just wish he could be my buying agent, too in our new state! Thank you for everything Zach!!!!

(Translated by Google) We are so thankful that we found Zach as our agent to buy our first home. Since our first meeting he was very helpful and answered so many questions that we had, his communication with both of us was great, always there when we needed him throughout the process. Zach also gave us a great advise and he recommended us a great borrower that was also great. We highly recommend Zach.

Zach is a great agent, from day one he answered many questions and confusions we had, his communication with my husband and me was incredible since he was always there for us and quickly answered any questions, the options he gave us as houses were very good and now we are very happy in our first house! Zach was there from the beginning to the end! We highly recommend Zach!

Zach is an exceptional real estate agent! My fiancé and I were blown away at the service and integrity of Zach. He truly cares about his clients and does what’s best and honorable for them. He always does the right thing and I could not imagine using another real estate agent at this point. He went above and beyond for us! The experience we had with Zach is difficult to put into words. We are very grateful for him, his direction, his knowledge, his character, and his passion. Thank you, Zach for everything!

Where to start. Zach came recommend from work colleagues and has been the go to realtor for our new hires. I think he has something like >10 happy customers from our work and we are consistently recommending new hires to him.

I didn't know anything about buying a house but Zach walked us through it step by step. He is the ...dare I say... Utmost professional. His knowledge of the market provided fantastic guidance and helped us make the right offer (under asking price!!) that was accepted right away.

This is when he kicked into high gear, he facilitated an efficient process and ensured coordination between the mortgage broker, escrow (who was less than helpful), and helped navigate a unique third party lender situation. His organization ensured that we were aware of timelines for each step and provided expectations on things such as inspections, renegotiations, etc. If any issues came up (and they did) he had an answer ready or a person ready to come fix it.

The best part about Zach is he is not just a robot doing business. We are not just a transaction to him, he is thoughtful and keeps in touch. My wife recently had a birthday and boom in our inbox an email from Zach wishing a happy birthday (I'll leave the surprises for when you buy a home from him)! When the holidays come around and we got a card from him and his family! As time passes and he sends a letter providing an update about his life and his family. But importantly he also reaches out about business and lets us know if and when rates drop so we can refi as appropriate.

Needless to say, Zach is the realtor you recommend to your friends. I have already recommend him to at least 2! One of whom also had a positive experience with Zach, and while they had a dinner party we were invited to, another couple inquired about realtors to which an emphatic response from the table was ZACH PLUMB!

I'll end with this, there is a reason he has all five star reviews, he earn each and every star.

We've worked with Zach on a few occasions and highly recommended him. We could not be happier with our entire experience. Zach is a professional and thoughtful realtor who was on top of all matters. We closed in just over a month and
throughout the process he is there for you. He created an outline to guide us from start to finish and kept us informed of the status.
Zach's vast experience, professionalism and impeccable ethics were evident throughout the process and we considerate it a privilege to offer our unconditional recommendation.

My wife and I recently bought our first home with Zach as our realtor, and cannot recommend him enough. As first time home buyers, he was incredibly helpful in explaining to us all steps of the process, helping us get a sense of the market, keeping us on track, and getting us a fantastic deal/closing credit on our house.

He was incredibly communicative throughout, honest, and also extremely flexible! He was able to quickly spring in to action, and help us land our “dream home” more than four months before we were originally planning on buying! We will be recommending Zach to all our friends looking to buy in the area.

My fiancé and I recently purchased a home in santee and zach was our relator. To say that zach went above and beyond would be an understatement. Zach operates with the highest level of professionalism and was fast and responsive to our inquiries, listened to what we were looking for in a home which resulted in us finding and closing on a home - that had everything we could ask for - in less than a month. Zach communicated clearly and directly about expectations and escrow timeliness. He worked seamlessly with our home loan officer, escrow agent, property inspectors etc. He was flexible and displayed a high level of adaptability in working within my and my fiancé's busy schedules for property viewings and later document signing while in escrow. I would highly recommend Zach to anyone who is looking to buy a home.

Could not be more thrilled with the service we got working with Zach Plumb at Utmost Home! It is nice to have a realtor that is trustworthy and has your best interest at heart. He is very knowledgeable about houses/properties knowing how to navigate the process and get the most for his clients.
It is clear that he enjoys what he does, finding that right home or a good investment.
He was and is very responsive with any questions.
We recommend him very highly to anyone.

I have bought and sold 6 properties in my lifetime. The Relator I used for the sale of my condo in August I would have rated the best experience I ever had with a real estate transaction. That is, until our recent purchase in El Cajon utilizing Zach as our agent. I was very impressed with the spreadsheet Zach utilizes for the entire buying experience. This was not my first rodeo, but I sure wish I had known Zach for my first real estate purchase. The spread sheet takes all the stress out of the real estate part of it. Lenders, a different story. During my 6 real estate transactions, I recall two gifts from agents upon closing that I kept. The scented candles, head scratchers, stress relief balls, (you get my drift) all ended up at Goodwill. Zach sent out a questionnaire asking about your likes, sports, hobbies, tastes, etc. so that he could tailer his gifts to his clients. For a young man, he totally has it all together. I would never use anyone else for a future real estate transaction and I would recommend him to anyone looking to sell or purchase a property.

It has been an absolute pleasure working with Zach. I've contemplated selling my home since 2019 and was having difficulty deciding whether to sell up until June of 2024 as it wasn't an easy decision for me due to various factors. He was nevertheless very generous with his time and met with me on more than one occasion helping me to understand how the market works, and never once did I feel pressured into selling until I was ready.

From the beginning of the sale up until the end, I was never left in the dark. He was very straightforward and well-organized in his sales strategies. He is a person of his word and follows up when he says he will. This shows great character, and someone who isn't in the business just to make a buck but loves what he does, and it shows.

I was put into contact with Zach because I wanted to buy a house to renovate and keep as a rental property. Zach was super helpful from our very first conversation. Through several conversations and an in-person meeting, he helped me develop my criteria and monitored the market for me. As soon as there was a new listing he thought could be of interest to me, he would share it with me so I could review it. Before long, we found a house I was interested in and Zach helped me submit an offer, and get it accepted. He guided me every step of the way through escrow to a successful closing. I'm now renovating the house and he continues to be an invaluable resource to me due to his market knowledge and extensive experience overseeing home renovations. I would highly recommend Zach and look forward to working with him again!

My husband met Zach at an open house and was very impressed with his honesty, expertise and knowledge of the housing market. He decided to go forward with Zach in our house hunting journey and I’m glad he did. Zach has been exemplary all through our journey. He always kept our best interest in mind, with genuine feedbacks, and made sure that we put an offer on a house only because it matched our search criteria and not because we felt pressured or rushed. His genuineness and sincerity as a person, and his professionalism as a realtor will definitely take him far in life. We will definitely recommend Zach’s service to our friends and families in future.

My husband and I were lucky enough to work with Zach to buy our first home. He spent a ton of time with us upfront making sure we understood the process and got to know him so that we’d be comfortable making such a big and life changing purchase. He didn’t shy away from hard questions, and really built a relationship based on trust.

The San Diego market is extremely competitive, and things pop up and leave the market so quickly it can be hard to keep up – but Zach was always on it. He really dialed in on what we were looking for and helped us find and buy a real unicorn of a house. His negotiation skills are 100% the only reason we got it, and we couldn’t be more grateful.

Zach is a delight to work with and constantly goes above and beyond. We can’t imagine working with anyone else!

Zach came recommended from a friend after our original realtor quit. He prepared our visit to the area in two weeks and we closed on a home within a month.

Given very low supply it’s a little miraculous that everything went as smoothly as it did and only a really prepared realtor could make it happen.

He was also very knowledgeable about the UCSD MOP loan program. So if your a new professor or staff add a sixth star to the review.

We are so thankful for the professional, personal, and 5 star service Zach provided in our journey of finding the perfect home. This is long review because I want to show my appreciation but the biggest take away is he is truly wonderful and earned our trust.
Like all perspective buyers we had a list of things we wanted in our new home. He did not just send weekly email with generic homes listed in our area. It was obvious he looked at each home to ensure it met our criteria. This to me showed he was respectful of our time. I know he adjusts based on each perspective buyer.
We wanted to do things in an unconventional way. Zach was happy to take on the challenge. Though he is all the things I listed above the part that I truly respect most about Zach is he did not speak about things he was not sure about, the way we wanted to do things had a lot of misconceptions. He is extremely knowledgeable however if he wasn’t a 100% certain about the process or the answer, he openly said he would research the answer and get back to us. And he always did in a very timely manner. This to me is such an important trait to me. It created a high level of trust and I trusted his judgement.
When he spoke to other realtors he was respectful while able to clearly communicate things to represent us and our best interest to create a positive relationship.
During the buying period he was available and involved that I would have thought we were his only clients.
I could absolutely go on and on, but it will only get lost in all the other amazing reviews. Zach, thank you for helping our family find the perfect home for us.

Throughout the entire process, Zach was very communicative and always kept me up-to-date on any new listings or changes in the market. He was always available to schedule viewings and provide me with valuable insights and advice.

When it came time to make an offer on my dream home, Zach really shined. He helped me put together a competitive offer and negotiated on my behalf to make sure I got the best deal possible. Thanks to his expertise and hard work, I was able to secure my dream home without any issues.

Zach is a true professional. From the moment we interviewed him, we felt at ease with the whole process. He was always accessible and made us feel like we were his only client. He helped us sale of our home and purchase our new home. He's got the process down to a "T" and his organization skills are second to none. He set it up so we could close the sale of our home Friday and close the purchase of our new home the following Monday. He went to bat for us on the purchase of new home and was able to win the bid even though there offer higher than ours. He sold our home the very first weekend it went on the market and negotiated a sale price we were happy with. He gave us weekly updates through the entire process so we always knew what was coming up next. He is a gifted realtor and we were blessed to have him on our side.

My brother and I worked with Zach to find the perfect rental investment in San Diego. From the beginning of our real estate journey, Zach walked alongside us to map out an ideal property and get the best deal for us in this tough market. From house hunt to the day we closed, Zach kept an open line of communication and was always there for us when we had questions, comments, or concerns with any prospective homes. When we landed on the right property, he fought for our best interest and closed in only a few weeks. An absolute pleasure working with Zach and will for sure be buying more investment homes with him in the coming years. He gets the job done!

Zach helped me to buy my first house and I could not have been more pleased with him as a realtor and as a person. He was incredibly organized, driven, and professional which helped me a ton throughout the entire process. Zach was always available to talk and answer any questions I had, and was very proactive with giving me the information I needed. I cannot say how thankful I was to him after it was all said and done, for I truly could not have done it without him. Cannot recommend enough for anyone who is looking to buy a home.

We recently closed on our first home and thanks to Zach it was such a smooth and quick process. He is extremely knowledgeable, diligent and honest. We always knew what was going on and he never took long to respond to any of our questions. He went above and beyond and stepped in to handle details that were beyond his scope of work. He is the definition of a hard worker and we feel so lucky to have had him represent us in our first home purchase!

Zach was extremely helpful in the purchase of our new home. He came recommended by our lender and made the entire buying process as smooth as possible. He helped our family get the right home and avoid homes that were not a good fit. If you want a real estate agent with expertise in the San Diego market that responds to communication quickly (which was our biggest qualifications when looking for a realtor), then Zach is your guy.

Zach is amazing! His level of knowledge on the real estate market was a huge benefit to us.
From the initial consultation all the way through closing, he displayed a level of excellence that is hard to find these days. On a last minute issue that came up Zach had only solutions to the situation and displayed such a high level of professionalism when communicating with all parties involved. We couldn't have asked for a better agent in finding a home.

As first time home buyers, Zach was great to work with! We found him to be a wealth of knowledge about the neighborhoods we were shopping in, and he helped us to align our offer to the market. He was trustworthy, and was as honest and upfront as we'd asked him to be when we started the process.

We found the perfect home for us within a few weeks of beginning our search. Once in escrow, his experience and organization skills were essential to make the process feel as stress free as buying a home can be. We had a lot of questions along the way, and Zach demonstrated patience and made us feel like we were his only clients at the time (though we know we were one of many).

We love our new home and are looking forward to the memories we will create there. Thanks for all your help, Zach!

Wow! No words to adequately describe the excellence that Zach exhibited on our home selling and buying. We used Zach a few years ago to sell a condo- he completed the sale in 14 days! When we needed to sell in San Diego county AND buy in Riverside county, we knew Zach was the man for us! Not only was he our selling agent, but also our buying agent. He found the perfect home for us, kept us on track with all the deadlines ( there were many!) on both homes, and completed both sales with extreme professionalism.
Zach is the number 1 agent in our book!!!!!

Zachary Plumb is a straight up professional. Aggressive, experienced, understanding, dedicated, hard-working, and most professional well put together real estate agent I have ever encountered.

There aren’t enough positive adjectives in the world to describe Zach and our experience with Utmost Home Advisors! My husband and I decided it was time to move back from Seattle, and upon hearing this, our good friends put us in contact with Zach. From the get-go, Zach was completely transparent, organized, and professional. He made sure to keep constant communication with us throughout the entire process, which I know we made difficult being out of state. My husband and I were constantly amazed by how quickly Zach responded to our questions about neighborhoods (my how they’ve changed!) and booked virtual tours for us to see potential homes. He always remembered the specifics of what we’re looking for and was honest in feedback after every tour. In what feels like the blink of an eye, Zach found us our absolute dream home for our family! We can’t recommend Zach enough and we’re so happy with our home buying experience!

An outstanding realtor, Zach made jumping into the San Diego market a breeze! His professionalism, knowledge of the industry, and expertise of the neighborhood vibes across SoCal proved invaluable during our home buying process. Zach was available to us at all hours, quickly responding to any questions or concerns. He has an extensive network of contacts in the area, including lenders, handymen, landscapers, etc. that streamlined our closing and moving-in processes. Zach was quick to understand our wants and needs and was able to make honest recommendations in line with them. For anyone looking to buy or sell in San Diego I wouldn’t go with any other realtor other than Zach Plumb.

When we first met with Zach over lunch, he explained to us that his job is more service than sales. He proved that to us time and time again with answering all our questions at all times of the day. His dedication to helping us find the perfect home along with his knowledge of construction and the local market, were key in us choosing him as our agent. Every time we viewed a new property Zach would perform a thorough and complete inspection, looking for any possible issues or problems and commenting on the quality of construction, landscape, and neighborhood the property was in. He also led us through multiple rounds of negotiation to get to a price we were comfortable with. In the end we found the perfect property that was exactly what we wanted and are loving it so far. Thank you Zach, We can’t wait to work with you again.

From the initial consultation all the way through closing, he displayed a level of excellence that blew the other agents we've used completely out of the water. The things we particularly enjoyed about him were his market insights, communication skills, and his multitude of connections. At the beginning of the process and when looking at homes, Zach's level of knowledge of the real estate market was a huge benefit to us. When communicating with us and with sellers, Zach has a perfect blend of friendliness and professionalism. Lastly, when we needed to find a new lender immediately to complete a deal, Zach had 10 different connections to reach out to, finding us the perfect lending partner in under 30 minutes! Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better partner in finding a home.

Zach Plumb shocked me! I was referred to him by a Mortgage Broker. After a quick introduction., we sat down together and went over a plan to purchase a house. He was thorough and helped walking through his and my expectations. When my wife and I had any questions or concerns, didn’t matter the time or day, he was a phone call or text away. It took a little longer than expected because of the COVID virus and the market being so competitive. We must have placed several bids and were close every time. We finally closed on a house and we are extremely happy with our experience with Zach. I will be referring Zach to any and everyone I know looking for a pleasurable and at ease buy or sell of a house. He definitely went above and beyond.

Well Done!

We just bought our first home and were referred to Zach by a co-worker who was very happy with his experience. Since we are new to the area, it took a while for us to look at houses in different neighborhoods and decide where we wanted to buy and settle on a price range. Zach was great at providing helpful information and suggestions, and being patient but proactive. I never felt pressured, and he always responded quickly to all of our questions. His calm attitude helped keep us focused on our goals despite the uncertainty of the coronavirus outbreak and the tough housing market in San Diego. He provided great advice on all the practical aspects of home buying, like how to write an offer that would get accepted and how to deal with home inspections and repair negotiations. Finally, he kept us updated during the whole process of financing and closing with detailed to-do lists and timely communication. We found a home that fit all of our criteria and were able to close quickly. We are very happy we went with Zach for our home purchase!

One word to describe working with Zach is professional. It is too easy to find houses for sale today by using websites like Redfin or Zillow which so what you need from an agent is advise as to why some of those houses on there are a bad match for you. There were plenty of homes that I saw which impressed me, but Zach was able to identify half a dozen issues he was able to see that saved me from a huge mistake. Throughout the entire home buying process Zach kept constant communication with me letting me know everything that was happening. It is that experience and professionalism that you need to assist you during the process.

Since this was our second time selling a house we were looking for someone who wasn't all about the money and actually looked out for our best interest and we found that in Zach. He is very knowledgable, caring and has great contacts for things we needed done. His communication is on point and we NEVER had to ask a second time or wait for a long period of time for a response. We got above asking for our home and we needed to do a short rent back while we were looking for a replacement home and he was able to make it happen.
Zach scheduled all the homes we wanted to see and took the time to set them according to our schedule while maintaining his other clients. That alone takes time, communication and homework to juggle everything along with his home life. In the end we were able to buy our forever home with the budget we were comfortable with and without ever feeling pressured to settle or to live outside our means. He really went the extra mile for our family and we are forever grateful!

As first-time homebuyers, my husband and I are so grateful that we chose Zach to work with us when finding a home for our family. To be honest, we were completely lost until we met Zach - we didn't know what steps to take, who to talk to, or what to look for. Even before he was officially our realtor, Zach was incredibly gracious in providing us advice, insight, and connections without asking for anything in return. His genuine care for his clients is so apparent, and we were especially impressed with his transparency and communication. He was so patient and thorough about answering all our questions and providing us timely updates throughout the whole process. He brought an extensive network of connections from lenders to termite inspectors and knew where to look when he hadn't encountered the issue before. Zach went above and beyond on advocating for us in many different situations - having him in our corner was absolutely invaluable and saved us a lot of money.

“Exceptional” is the only word I can use to describe our experience working with Zach. He is so so organized, and was always available for every tiny question I had. He uses a spreadsheet that he continually updates that you can check to see the status of your home buying process, so you are always in the know. When we started the house hunt, we had a list of seven places we wanted to view, and with only two days notice he was able to arrange for us to see them all in a single afternoon. The townhouse that we fell in love with already had a bidding war going on and Zach had to act fast to help us get our preapproval so we could throw our offer in at the last minute—and we got it!!! He was with us every single step of the way, even coming to the escrow signing to explain anything we may not have been clear on—something the notary said she’d never seen any realtor do before! To top it all off, he got us a gift card to our favorite restaurant as a congratulations when we closed. I wish I knew more people trying to buy a house, just to give him as a referral. Go with Zach—you will NOT regret it :)

As a mortgage broker, the partnership with a selling agent is essential to a smooth closing for a buyer. Zach was exceptional as an agent: easy to reach with clear communication professionalism throughout. And it doesn't hurt that he negotiated the sale substantially under what the appraisal result showed!

He was helpful, knowledgeable, and communicative throughout the home-buying process.

As working parents with three young children, having just moved halfway across the country, the process of finding and purchasing our first home was daunting. However, Zach always made us feel comfortable and would go out of his way to adjust to our hectic schedules. He is extremely detail oriented (great when it comes to home inspections and navigating through paperwork) and importantly, passionate about his job and his relationship with his clients. We highly recommend Zach as your next realtor for your new home!

Zach was incredibly informative and easy to work with. He responded to questions instantly, and provided thoughtful and insightful answers. He took the time to understand our needs and wants in finding a home, and we were able to get on the same page quickly, and found a great house. He has familiarity with different loan scenarios, including the UCSD MOP which was a huge plus. We've recommended him to our friends and family, which I think is the strongest endorsement we can offer. Thanks Zach for your hard work throughout the process!

Zach knows his business and is very easy to work with. I've been in the loan business for over 20 yrs and worked with hundreds of Realtors. He is a pleasure to work with and is extremely knowledgeable about Real Estate. Zach is a pro, I wish there were more agents like him in the industry.

Zach was aboslutely FANTASTIC to work with - he made buying a home in a competitive market look like a piece of cake.

We met him at a house showing and were immediately impressed by his knowledge of home updates and his attention to detail. We met up with him and explained our situation (military waiting on orders) and he was patient with us throughout the entire process as we nailed down the neighborhood we wanted to live in, as well as our budget.

When it came time to start putting in offers the process moved fast, but we were confident having Zach by our side the entire time. We can't say enough good things about his attention to detail and his leverage of technology during home showings and during the offer writing process. He was able to win an extremely competitive bid on the best house we've seen in a while and it is mainly due to his interpersonal skills with the listing agent, and his guidance to us as buyers.

Throughout the escrow process he was again with us every step of the way and helped us prioritize next steps both in the near and far term. Even when things got a little overwhelming (first time home buyers...) he remained calm and confident.

We just closed on the house, and we feel honored to have him as our real estate agent. We're going to tell every single one of my friends to use him if they buy a house because we know he'll provide the best service around.

We couldn't be happier with Zach (and his team) and are so excited to have bought our first home! THANKS ZACH!!

Buying a house for the first time is a daunting and expensive life decision. It's also one that is very deeply personal, as it's the place where we not only store our possessions, but build our lives. I hadn't considered just how personal my first home search would be until I initially embarked on it on my own, without an agent. Trying to navigate my way through unfamiliar neighborhoods and the uncertainty of random open houses, was stressful and really frustrating. I was apprehensive to work with an agent at first because I didn't enjoy the idea of sharing so much personal information about my home and finances with a stranger. However, several of my colleagues had worked with Zach in the past and others were currently working with him, and on their positive recommendations (and after leaving 10 open houses in a weekend disenchanted with the home buying process) I decided that it was worth a meeting.

AND I'M SO INCREDIBLY GLAD THAT I DID! Zach immediately made me feel comfortable talking about my wants and needs in a home and never making me feel like I was being ridiculous with some of my requests. His calm replies of "Okay" while making note of my comments did wonders to allay my fears of being judged.

Within 4 days of our first meeting I was already in escrow with a home that met every criteria I had asked for! Zach had very quickly understood what my priorities were in a home, what neighborhoods I would (and wouldn't) like, and helped me see each house with unbiased eyes. He also patiently answered my many detailed questions about the process and paperwork of home buying. It was also incredibly helpful that Zach's organizational strategies of using Google Docs and Evernote to share information and update me were tools I was already familiar with and what I preferred to use in my own work. His very clear communication throughout every step did wonders at keeping my anxiety over such a huge decision at bay.
When I needed it, Zach was my negotiating advocate, my cheerleader, my sounding board, and my task manager. Never pushy, but kept my expectations realistic.

Zach totally transformed a process I had been dreading for quite some time into one that was smooth and well orchestrated. While I plan on staying put for a while, when the day comes for me to move, I'm already comforted by the fact I know Zach will be there to help me navigate that process too.

One day my wife and I drove past an open house. We went inside to find Zach showing this house. We were not in the place to buy six months ago. Zach gave me a card and asked if I’d be willing to meet with him. About two months ago I met up with Zach, he explained the whole process of buying to me. My wife and I have never purchased so we had no idea what we were looking at or looking into.

I always believe this would be a daunting and long process, but Zach has a way of simplifying it for you. He preemptively told us every challenge we would possibly encounter. In many ways Zach made this process easier and more pleasant than purchasing a car. With every house we saw, he pointed out things to look for as well as any red flags. He helped us to realize with each house, exactly what we were looking for and things we didn’t realize we wanted.

I am a OIF disabled Army Veteran. We decided to roll the dice with Zach on a VA loan and he knocked it out of the park. In only two short weekends, and our second offer we got the house we wanted.

He is a young agent but do NOT let that fool you.
If you’re looking for an agent who:
1) is patient
2) educated
3) punctual
4) has great communication skills
5) down to Earth
6) responds quickly to text and email
7) and has a positive perspective,
I highly suggest you give Zach a call. We took a chance and we are so thankful we did. He had/has answers to all of our questions and even gave us friendly recommendations and help on all of our other house related topics.

If we ever have another real estate deal Zach and only Zach will be our agent.

From the Marasso Family thanks Zach

My husband and I met Zach randomly at an open house and were instantly impressed with his industry knowledge and honesty and made him our agent the following day.

Being our first home purchase, we relied on Zach to walk us through every step of the process. He was incredibly patient, thorough and well connected giving us information on everything from neighborhoods to focus on, home warranty information, vendor recommendations and more.

Zach's organization and follow up went above and beyond our expectations. He always made himself available by text or phone call regardless time of day/night. We believe that this made the difference when it came to buying our house as we are able to move quickly through the bid and escrow process. We are closing tomorrow on the first and only offer we put in and we feel confident that Zach and our lender were the reason we were able to get this house (it was competitive!).

Lastly, he's a Ohio State Buckeyes fan so that gives him a few extra points in our book!

Zach was awesome to work with! Knowledgeable, not pushy, worked with our schedule (our kids schedule), very quick to respond, & did his best to get “us” what we needed & wanted. We will definitely work with Zach again in the future & highly recommend him to our friends & Family.

We just happened to find Zach as we were touring an open house, and we are so glad we did! He helped us sell (within a week!) our current home and dedicated so much of his time and energy into finding a new home. He was involved in every step of the process and often went above and beyond the duties of his job. His efficiency, communication, and collaboration with other professionals helped to make the process easy. We feel confident referring him to our friends and family, and hope to use his services again should we move again in the future!

We recently closed on a house and our experience with Zach as our agent was outstanding. He truly lived up to his company motto, “Committed to Excellence. Driven by Love.” Being referred to Zach by our previous realtor, whom we did not have a great experience with, we still decided to stick with Zach since luckily he was a great fit for us and all around a great guy to work with! He has a positive go-getter attitude, is accessible, patient, attentive, organized, punctual, and is very good at communicating and explaining all the details involved in purchasing a home. His method of taking notes and rating each property worked great in helping us stay focused and keep organized. He supported us every step of the process and especially came through towards the end when unexpected things came up going the extra mile in helping us close the deal. We highly recommend Zach to anyone looking for an honest, caring and knowledgeable agent who would go the extra mile. Thank you Zach!

Zach is the best you can get!

I had a metric ton of questions throughout my home buying experience as it was my first home. I was recommended to Zach and his teammate at Jesse Morrison Group from a coworker. Don't let his age fool you, he is one of the best around, and Zach will go the extra mile for you at every step of the home buying process! He is quick to reply to questions, kind, a fun guy to work with, and will give you the facts straight no matter what. He isn't going to try and force you into the first home you look at because he really does care about his clients.

We looked at over 20 different homes and condos in around a weeks time with Zach keeping track of what I liked and didn't like about each one. I could always return to the detailed online notes he kept of each one. When it came to writing offers on one I liked, Zach would do comps same day and let me know an accurate ballpark of what I should start at. This is what really won me the bid on a townhouse that wasn't ever on the market yet! It had everything I was looking for and within my budget(which was no easy task let me tell you).

Even when the sellers realtor had delayed the escrow process for OVER A WEEK, we were still able to close in 23 days! This is because Zach was on top of everything from the first day until we closed. He gave advice on where to find appliances and furniture that were better than buying new even after I got into the home.

If you want a realtor that is honest and actually cares about his clients, call Zach.

Zach was an absolute pleasure to work with and we are extremely thankful to have had him as our realtor and guide when buying our first home. Buying a new home is supposedly one of the most stressful things a person can do but we actually had a great experience.I firmly believe that is because Zach had our back in all things home buying. Here are few other reasons why we were so happy working with him.

HONEST: Above all things, Zach is an extremely honest and caring person who enjoys helping people find their homes. Having great trust in Zach was the most important factor in lowering our home buying stress. We could rest easy knowing that he was being upfront with us, acting in our best interest, and working hard on our behalf.

EDUCATIONAL: As first time home owners, I was shocked at how much there was to learn. Zach patiently explained our endless questions and always made sure we understood what was happening throughout the process.

PROACTIVE: Zach was neither pushy nor hands off. He was the happy proactive middle ground, giving us space to make the decisions that were right for us but also helping us keep up with the fast paced San Diego housing market.

ORGANIZED: After seeing multiple homes, they all start to blend together. Zach's note taking system helped rank the houses, keep track of pros/cons, and compare value across multiple visits.

WELL CONNECTED: Every other realty associated business that Zach recommended (mortgage company, home inspectors, plumbers, etc). were also top notch and very professional.

GOES THE EXTRA MILE: Once we had our offer accepted, Zach went above and beyond to make sure the deal went through. He even took apart the seller's deck (with their permission of course) so that the home inspector could gain access to the crawl space.

Can't recommend Zach enough. He'll be the first person we call if we ever want to sell/buy again.

My husband and I just closed on our first home with Zach's help. He was the perfect agent for us, as we wanted someone who would be flexible with our timeline and also proactive in tracking down homes and acting on them. Zach was fantastic with both! Our home-buying process was a breeze thanks to him. He was always available to meet with us or fill us in by email or phone when we had a question or request. Thanks to him we got a great home and some excellent advice on home ownership.
