My Story
Faith and family are above all else for me. Real estate is a passion and rental housing a calling. Finding balance between it all is how I define success, and am constantly striving towards. I believe giving back is an obligation and am proud to be part of community improvement and engagement organizations and causes. I derive joy in connecting with others and building genuine relationships.
My Advice to Anyone Seeking a Career at ZMG
At Zidan, we don’t think of ourselves as a real estate company; our mission is providing quality housing for people- it is also our passion. So if you share in that passion, ZMG is a great place to contribute and be appreciated for what you bring to the table.
