Client Testimonials: "It was great to work with Zach while we we were selling and purchasing our new home. Highly recommend Zach to others, and in fact I have already recommended him and all have had positive experiences working with him!" "Our family moved to the area from Indiana about five months ago, and we were just lucky to have Zach respond to my email request for information on rental properties. We had a couple other agents contact us as well, but most were very sales-y over the phone and email. Zach seemed to genuinely listen and care about what we were looking for in a rental -and did a lot of research for us - and he was so responsive to any questions or concerns I had. Since moving into our rental, I have contacted him a couple other times about other issues, and he has been so responsive with great insight and information. We know when we decide to buy our home here in the area, Zach will be our realtor! As a newbie to the area, this gives me peace of mind!"

What My Clients Are Saying

“Zach made my first home buying experience extremely smooth from the very early stages all the way through settlement, and has even continued to assist when I have had lingering questions here and there. When first beginning to look, Zach made himself available to sit down with me (the day after a major snow storm) to make sure I felt comfortable and was prepared to move forward. From that point, we looked at various types of properties in different areas, sometimes on just a couple hours notice, to help narrow down it was that I was really looking for. Once we found the right place, he went above and beyond to make sure our offer was competitive so that we could secure a highly contested property.”

“After working with Zach once before, I knew that I would be going back to him again whenever I looked to purchase another property. This property was different than the first he worked with me on, so there was another learning curve that he assisted in explained each step along the way, making himself available whenever I had any questions. He made sure that he was on top of everything at each stage of the buying process so that there were no delays or issues further along. Zach will continue to the first person that comes to mind if I am going to be buying/selling a property or have any real estate related questions.”

“We could not have made a better choice in choosing Zach as our agent. He uses the latest technology, is knowledgeable about the market and is aggressive to get you to settlement.He was very patient with us to find exactly what we were looking for and he did not waste our time sending us homes that did not meet our needs. When the home we wanted hit the market, we acted fast so it would eliminate any potential competition. We called Zach and we had an offer contract to sign within an hour. There was a very small negotiation period and our contract was accepted in about 1 day. Zach was aggressive to make sure all the deadlines were met and we settled in 30 days. The contract was complete the first time. No documents were missed and no mistakes were made. Communication was key for us during this process and all of our emails and phone calls were immediately answered by Zach. We highly recommend him!!! Thank you Zach!!”

“I am writing to express my sincerest gratitude for my real estate agent Zachary Combs. My mother found him for me and I am so grateful I chose him to be my realtor to sell my property. It was lot of moving pieces, paperwork and stress and Zachary was with me every step of the way; being so helpful, reassuring, professional and knowledgeable. He was available ANY time that I had a concern or question and would frequently check in on me to make sure that I felt good about the sale of my property. I could not imagine going through with any other agent. Zach is incredible!”

“My wife and I could not have gotten luckier to find Zach. When we weren’t sure if we even wanted to buy, we clicked on ‘Get info’ about a random house, and we got connected to Zach. From the first phone call, we knew we found our guy. He polite, knowledgeable and curtious of our position. Being new to the state Zach took the time to help us learn all the different areas and gave us the info to narrow our search. Once it was time to get out there, Zach always made himself available for appointments and noted all the things we said we liked and didn’t like. From the start all we asked was that he be upfront and honest with us. Zach went way above and beyond the call of duty when we found a place that we though we liked, but had a concern about some standing water. For four days straight, Zach brought in industry professionals and the place had a significant water issue and mold. We were so close to pulling the trigger and Zach laid out of the issues and estimates, which ultimately led to us passing. While it was frustrating to lose a place we thought was the one, we were so thankful to Zach for all of his effort, which ultimately helped us avoid a financial disaster. Shortly after we found our home which Zach was able to strongly negoiate our purchase price. We found our and came away with some equity right off the bat. Zach is a true professional and anyone would be lucky to him their side. My wife and I will be forever grateful. Thank you Zach!”
