My Story: Where Determination Meets Opportunity

To truly understand my commitment to your real estate success, you need to understand where I come from. My journey is the foundation of who I am—both personally and as the Broker/Owner of Zahir Real Estate Inc. and a trusted Mortgage Broker.

 

The Foundation of Hard Work

My life began in the vibrant, competitive heart of the San Francisco Bay Area. My parents, first-generation immigrants, arrived with little more than their determination. They faced the monumental task of adjusting to a new country, language, and culture with only each other for support. For years, my three younger sisters and I shared a small, cozy space in downtown San Francisco, a humble beginning that instilled in me the profound importance of dedication and hard work.

I witnessed the American Dream being built firsthand. My father persevered, moving from the service industry to opening convenience stores, then restaurants, and eventually investing in real estate. He worked seven days a week, transforming himself from having nothing into a successful store owner, entrepreneur, and property developer. His life is the personification of the American Dream, and my goal is to keep that dream alive for my family and my clients.

 

Building a Legacy in Real Estate

My father’s rise from humble beginnings to successful businessman is my primary motivation. His examples of determination, diligence, and devotion are the bedrock of my business philosophy. I was involved in his rehab projects as a teenager, giving me an early, hands-on understanding of property development and the transformative power of real estate. Watching him not only achieve success but also help others improve their lives through homeownership was a true inspiration. It was clear—this was my calling.

I am one of the rare individuals in this industry who knew from a young age that real estate was the path.

Despite my clear vision, my parents prioritized education. To honor their sacrifice and desire for my success, I committed to both my passion and their dream. I earned my real estate license the moment I turned 18 and simultaneously pursued my academic goals, graduating from the University of California, Davis, with a Bachelor of Science in Biotechnology. My drive led me to not only excel in my studies but also to be the youngest person ever accepted into the California State University Executive MBA program at the age of 21. Every professional step I’ve taken is a testament to the hard work and support that defined my upbringing.

 

Your One-Stop Shop for Real Estate and Lending

My biggest professional achievement was launching Zahir Real Estate Inc. in 2017. Our brokerage quickly grew to serve the greater San Francisco Bay Area and the greater Sacramento market. Recognizing that buying or investing in property often requires both real estate expertise and financial strategy, we innovated to become a complete, one-stop shop for our clients.

We expanded our service footprint to Georgia in 2021 and added a specialized lending division. This integrated approach means we can offer you unparalleled service across two key states:

  • Real Estate Brokerage (CA): Providing top-tier advice and market tools for your buying, selling, and investment goals.

  • Mortgage Brokerage (CA & GA): We are licensed to handle your loan needs, allowing you to get pre-approved, refinance, and access cash-out options from your properties—all under one roof.

 

Our Specializations

We specialize in high-value, strategic areas to help you build wealth:

  • Real Estate Investment: Leveraging my experience, we excel at helping investors find great deals and strategically build their income property portfolio.

  • First-Time Home Buyers: Guiding new buyers through every step, ensuring a smooth, worry-free, and successful path to homeownership.

Our Client-First Philosophy

At Zahir Real Estate Inc., we see past the transactions and focus on the relationships and emotions involved in real estate. That is what is important to you, so that is what is important to us.

We leverage the latest technology and market tools to exceed every expectation regarding paperwork and process, but our main goal is to ensure your experience is smooth, worry-free, and enjoyable. Our dedication to providing a phenomenal, client-focused experience is what truly separates us from the competition.

I am eager to lend my knowledge, experience, and full-service capabilities as a REALTOR and Mortgage Broker to your real estate endeavors. I don't expect your business simply because of our relationship—I only ask for the opportunity to interview for the job.

Thank you for taking the time to learn about my story. I look forward to helping you write the next chapter of yours.
