Testimonials
"
In 2017 Zach Hicks was a Angel sent by God to help me find my present home. He always answered my text and phone calls in a very timely manner. And at 75 years old there was many qustions I needed answered so that I could be assured I was not being taken advantage of. From the 1st day I contacted Zach, I felt he was trustworthy and understanding of exactly what I wanted in my new home. His patience with a older person with limited mobility, is to be commended. I nwver at any time felt he was rushing me threw a showing. What I appreciated most about Zach was his honesty and directness in any concerns I ask him about in making a decision about a home. He found me the "perfect" home, and I will always be thankful God directed him into my life. To this day, as I look around my home, I thank Zach for all he did to make it possible.

My fiance and I worked with Zach to purchase a duplex in an extremely competitive housing market. Zach is very knowledgeable about the buying and selling process and was able to help us build a clean offer that ultimately got us the house. Zach was always very responsive with texts and calls, we never felt alone during any part of the home-buying experience. Zach speaks with honesty and candor, something I admire in a real estate professional. I would highly recommend Zach to anyone looking to purchase a home in the greater Milwaukee area and beyond.

I have had the pleasure of being close friends with Zach since we were in high school, so when my fiancé and I were looking to buy our first home, asking Zach to be our realtor was a no brainer! Zach was able to work with our somewhat difficult schedules, planning a majority of our showings in the evening after work. As we searched for houses in January, we were met with snow, ice and polar vortex temperatures, but Zach was always on time and eager to help us. As first-time home buyers, we had a lot of questions, but Zach was able to answer them quickly and was always willing to gather the information we needed to make informed decisions. He was an outstanding intermediary between us and the builders, and he was there for us throughout every step of the process. Working with Zach was a blast, not only because we are friends, but because he brings his vast expanse of knowledge and levity into the home buying process. We could not recommend Zach enough! We love our home and are so grateful to have had such a pleasant home buying experience with Zach!

We had an awesome experience with Zach purchasing our first home! We knew very little going into the process, and he was able to break it all down for us so we understood every aspect of it. We trusted him 100% and we're never disappointed with his dedication to us as clients, work ethic, and flexibility. Couldn't have asked for someone better to work with!

We liked Zach instantly! He was responsive and incredibly helpful-I honestly think he knew what we wanted before we did!
We had a hiccup or two and he was diligent in keeping us in the loop and working through it. We absolutely love our house and are very pleased.
Thanks Zach!

Zach came highly recommended by our lender Todd with The Simons Loan Team and was nothing short of absolutely amazing. He gave us amazing advice in this crazy market and gave us recommendations on how to make our offer competitive!
Once we got our offer accepted, Zach and Christy were able to negotiate all the items requested to be fixed post home inspection! Zach was always on top of everything no matter what we threw at him!
Zach we will be calling you when we are looking to sell and recommend you to all our friends.
Thank you so much for working with us and helping us get into our house.

Zach was on top of things and guided my wife and I through the home buying process with ease. We moved 1,300 miles right out of college for a job, and the whole process was so much smoother thanks to Dan's team - specifically Zach - at Vesta. Drove down to Kenosha at least twice a week for us. Can't say enough good about him and the team.

Zach is very knowledgeable about the real estate market. He will work tirelessly to make sure he finds you the right home. He is a great guy and someone I would definitely have any of my friends and family work with!

Zach made a miracle happen. He found us a house that had everything we needed, in the right location and made it happen in the small window of time I needed. I ended up taking his advice on lender (Stearn's), inspector (BrickKicker) and he even helped find someone to help me move my washer and dryer! He understood the significance of "home." I couldn't be more pleased!

Working with Zach to purchase my first home can best be described as flawless. He was extremely knowledgeable of the area I was looking in and took into account my lack of experience in house hunting. He was always available to answer all of the questions I had as a first time home buyer and was very reassuring throughout the whole process. With all of the stories I had heard about the home buying process I was very nervous going into it, but he was able to ease my nerves with his positive attitude and knowledge and made my whole experience wonderful. He was able to take away a lot of the stress that normally goes along with making such a big purchase and got as excited as I did when we were able to find my home. I would not hesitate to refer anyone to Zach who was thinking about buying or selling a home.

Zach responded quickly to our requests, looked out for us in every way possible and went above and beyond in getting a leaky sink fixed, even though the listing agent was supposed to. I would highly recommend Zach Hicks to anyone looking to buy.

As a lender, I have worked with a number of different agents and would say that he is at the top of the list. I would recommend Zach without reservation. He has been very thorough, professional and knowledgeable.

My wife and I worked with Zach this summer to find a home for us. This was our first house buying experience so we were a bit scared to take the leap into becoming homeowners but Zach was always looking out for us and reassured us that everything would be alright. He works so hard to make sure you're getting the house that fits your needs and makes sure that you are comfortable and know whats going on every step of the way. He is the most knowledgeable real estate advisor that I have ever met and it shows! Even after the purchase of our home, he still answers questions we have so he really cares about his clients. He really made this a very easy process and wouldn't have changed one thing that he did. Thank you so much Zach, we can't wait to work with you again in the future!

Zach did a great job all the way around. Always returned my calls very quickly, and understood my needs. Would definitely use him again!
He was always available, but he was not so persistent that it was annoying.

Zach was absolutely awesome to work with! He was always available by text or phone when we had questions or wanted to set up showings. Even after we closed on our house he has remained in touch with us, sharing in our excitement as we check renovations off our to-do list. He even recommended a contractor to help us with some of the bigger projects. Zach truly went out of his way to make sure that we were happy. He was not pushy and gave his honest opinions about all of the houses we looked at. He is incredibly knowledgeable and I felt very lucky to have him as our realtor. Most importantly, he is super personable and funny, which made our house hunt very enjoyable!!!!!

Before I get into how great Zach was in my journey, I want to touch on a couple key points to help put things in perspective for future review seekers. In 2018 the national median existing single-family home hit an all-time high. We have seen the housing market completely flip in a few short years. Things got busy in the housing market. It takes a certain realtor to be able to handle the heat of that wave. The way Zach handled himself in such a time was astonishing. His time management was great. He always made sure I was taken care of, and filled me in with the most knowledgeable responses to any question. Being a first time home buyer, he made me feel at ease. He never pushed, and always gave me the time I needed to make sure it was the right choice. He did everything by the book, and was always an honest opinion. I highly recommend Zach for any type of home buyer, as he goes above and beyond. Hats off to Zach.

Zach was personable and easy to work with. He is very knowledgeable in the real estate field. He was flexible and patient with us in our home search, and while we were getting our house ready for sale. We rec'd 3 offers (over asking) in the first 12 hours our home was on the market. I highly recommend Zach to anyone looking to sell/purchase a home.

We worked with Zach Hicks to purchase our home in Tosa this summer and were so glad we did. Zach is a rock star - About a year ago we started dipping our toes into a house search and met Zach through happenstance when viewing a house. We really liked him and he stayed in touch with us even when we put our search on pause for a year. He was the first person we reached out to when we decided it was time to pick things back up. He gave us great guidance and sound advice through the process, was always available to us, and addressed our concerns with transparency and care. After we made an offer and no longer needed to visit prospective houses with Zach we were sad to not see him every week! He became a trusted partner and advisor and ultimately helped us find and land a home we are very happy with. We recommend Zach and Vesta to anyone beginning a home search!

Zach is an incredible friend and Realtor. From the first showing to the final closing, he was there to answer all of our questions and walk us through the whole process. His patience, kindness and honesty was so helpful while searching for our first home. When it came down to the final decision, he helped us weigh the pros and cons, while keeping our best interest in mind. Home buying can be stressful, but Zach made sure the experience was fun & enjoyable for us. He sees the good in every day, and every home-buyer - his positive attitude is certainly contagious! You’ll leave your closing feeling like you’ve found your dream home, and a new friend.
