My Vision
I became a broker because I wanted to do things differently. So I created a brokerage that focuses on education, culture, and community.
Our business model isn’t just about commission structures and transactions; it’s about building something remarkable. It’s about crafting a vibrant community of agents who support each other, inspire growth, and celebrate our achievements.
Van Zandt Properties is about laying the groundwork for a legacy of unity, collaboration and participation in an industry that can often be combative and stressful. At Van Zandt Properties, we’re not just creating careers; we’re forging a path toward a brighter, more inclusive future.
Together, we’re defining the real estate landscape, one supportive transaction at a time. We believe that in this industry, where challenges may arise, it’s our shared commitment to community and collaboration that will leave a lasting mark.
