About Zak

I've lived all over — born abroad on an army base, raised in New York, schooled in DC and Colorado, then spent a decade in California before moving to Indiana. I know what it’s like to relocate and create a new sense of home; I’m particularly appreciative of how rewarding it is to do that in Bloomington. Like many long-term residents, I arrived thinking I’d be here for just a few years. Oops — that was 2007.

Award-winning Agent

FIFTEEN+ YEARS IN THE REAL ESTATE BUSINESS
$115 MILLION IN SALES AND COUNTING
HUNDREDS OF HOMES SOLD
500+ TRANSACTIONS

I love design, architecture, music, writing, and animals. I spent many years on both coasts making my living as a writer and reporter. Generating buzz was already second nature when I decided to tap my creative + media expertise to sell real estate. Researching complex issues was already my training when I jumped into this world of property inspections, negotiations, zoning, and contracts.
