Zak's journey began amidst the picturesque landscapes of Carmel-by-the-Sea, the Carmel Highlands, and Big Sur. He was raised watching his father meticulously craft, rejuvenate, and transform homes throughout these iconic locales. This upbringing instilled in Zak a profound understanding of local real estate that serves as the cornerstone for introducing clients to the elusive Carmel lifestyle.

While Zak adeptly represents properties across the region, his passion lies in uncovering secluded coastal and mountain retreats. With his aerial videography skills, he unveils these hidden gems in a captivating light. As an FAA commercial licensed drone pilot, Zak excels not only in creating stunning marketing for his own listings but also sought after for esteemed media companies and top-producing agents in the area.

Before embarking on his real estate journey, Zak, a graduate of UC Santa Cruz, spent nearly a decade financing commercial, development, and residential projects nationwide, holding 12 state NMLS licenses. His intimate knowledge of the banking industry allows him to offer clients a tailored, 360-degree approach to gaining entry into this exclusive coastal community.

As an avid surfer, Zak is deeply committed to preserving the breathtaking coastline and beaches of Carmel for generations to come.
