What's different

Three things most agents can't do.

Plain talk, real numbers that back up every strategy, and results that move your bottom line.

01 / EXPOSURE

The right buyers, not just more eyes

Most agents list your home and hope. I put it in front of the specific buyers most likely to buy it — and show you exactly who saw it and how they responded.

02 / NEGOTIATION

A negotiator, not an order-taker

When offers come in, I work them against each other for your bottom line and a deal that actually closes. I don't just hand you the stack and call it "highest and best."

03 / TAXES

Know your taxes before you buy

Michigan property taxes jump after a sale. I show you the real future number before you write the offer, so nothing blindsides you at closing.

Where I work

Downriver is home turf.

Deep, block-by-block knowledge of the communities along the Detroit River.

And relocating buyers and sellers all over Metro Detroit.

Your unfair advantage

Know the number before you buy.

In Michigan, a home's taxable value uncaps when it sells — so your tax bill is often higher than the seller's was. Most buyers find out the hard way. You won't. I'll run your real future tax estimate before you commit.

Questions buyers & sellers ask.

Who is Zach Schlacht? +

Zach Schlacht is a licensed real estate associate broker with Real Estate One in Southgate, Michigan, operating under the ZachSold brand. He works with both buyers and sellers across Downriver Detroit and the surrounding Southeast Michigan communities.

What areas does ZachSold cover? +

Allen Park, Lincoln Park, Southgate, Wyandotte, Trenton, Riverview, Taylor, Woodhaven and the rest of the Downriver region, plus the wider Metro Detroit area.

How much will my Michigan property taxes be after I buy? +

In Michigan, a property's taxable value is capped while one owner holds it, then uncaps to the state equalized value when it sells. That means your first-year tax bill is frequently higher than what the seller paid. Zach provides a real estimate of your future taxes before you write an offer.

How do I find out what my Downriver home is worth? +

Request a free, no-obligation home valuation. Zach prepares it from real, recent comparable sales on and around your street — not an automated guess.

What makes ZachSold different from other agents? +

Three things: targeted exposure that reaches the buyers most likely to purchase your home, active negotiation that works competing offers for your bottom line, and tax transparency so buyers know their real costs before closing.

Whether you're selling, buying, or just want a straight read on the market — let's talk. No pressure, no fluff.
