Associate Broker · Real Estate One · Southgate
I'm Zach Schlacht. Selling one home while buying another can feel like a balancing act. Whether you need to buy, sell, or do both at the same time, I'll help you navigate the process with confidence, clarity, and a lot less stress.
Plain talk, real numbers that back up every strategy, and results that move your bottom line.
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.
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."
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.
Deep, block-by-block knowledge of the communities along the Detroit River.
And relocating buyers and sellers all over Metro Detroit.
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.

Allen Park, Lincoln Park, Southgate, Wyandotte, Trenton, Riverview, Taylor, Woodhaven and the rest of the Downriver region, plus the wider Metro Detroit area.
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.
Request a free, no-obligation home valuation. Zach prepares it from real, recent comparable sales on and around your street — not an automated guess.
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.
