I've worked in real estate since 2010 and have helped San Diego buyers and sellers since 2015. Along the way I've managed rentals, invested in my own properties, guided ADU projects, and become a licensed loan originator. I see a home from every side: a place to live, an income source, and an investment.
What hasn't changed is how I work: I listen first, give you straight answers about price and timing, and keep you updated without you having to ask. Utmost is built on one idea: excellence in the work, and love for the people we do it for.
“Their pricing strategy was right on target, and we received a strong offer within just a couple of weeks of listing.”
“He helped my wife and me buy our first home and, as of yesterday, sell it.”
“He's super sharp, a great negotiator, and the guy you want on your side when it's crunch time.”
“His knowledge of the local housing market and ADUs was invaluable.”
“When a few hiccups came up, he handled them professionally and provided clear guidance.”
“Zach was incredible at meeting all of these challenges!”
“This was our 3rd time selling a home and Zach was the best agent we've ever worked with.”
“Brought invaluable expertise in ADU conversions and general remodeling.”
“I wouldn't have trusted the sale of my beloved home to anyone else!”
“It truly felt like he was looking out for our best interests the entire time.”
“He's not in it for himself—he's in it for you.”
“He worked tirelessly and yet effortlessly to sell my condo in a down season.”
All of San Diego County, from the city of San Diego to the coast, North County, South Bay, and East County.
Since 2010. I've worked with buyers and sellers, managed rentals, and invested in real estate, and I've served San Diego County since 2015.
I'm a licensed mortgage loan originator (NMLS #2705699), so I can walk you through financing as part of your purchase.
Yes. I help buyers find properties with an existing ADU or room to build one, and look at permitting and rent potential before you write an offer.
From recent sold homes near yours and market data, not active listings or online estimates, then a launch plan built around that number.
You get a listing update every week with showings, feedback, and market activity, plus a call whenever something needs a decision.
Yes. I've invested in and managed rentals myself, including long-term and mid-term rentals, so I can talk numbers from experience.
