Pleased to have John Zimmerman, aka JZ, on the real takk pod. JZ & I met several years ago when he was appointed to lead the Compass' flagship office in Dallas Ft. Worth and the Greater Tarrant County area. JZ is a top-producing Ft. Worth agent for the last 30 years. A strategic growth manager once told me, “JZ is a big deal, he sells blocks upon blocks of the Dallas Fort Worth area”
He’s deeply involved in the development of the Montserrat and La Cantera neighborhoods, has been ranked the No. 1 agent in Dallas Ft. Worth for several years, ranked No. 2 in the state of Texas, and he's among the top one-half percent of agents nationwide.
Originally from Fayetteville, John studied finance and real estate at the University of Arkansas. He's lived in Ft. Worth for nearly 30 years and currently resides in the Shady Oaks Country Club neighborhood. In his free time, he enjoys golf and spending time with his children.On the pod, we discuss all things DFW, being one of the founding agents of DFW, his thoughts on real estate aggregators like Zillow & Redfin, how he got into the business, his memorable deals, the types of clients he works with, advice for newer agents coming into the business, and his favorite DFW bars & restaurants!

Deep dive
You had the special privilege to be the founding agent for Raleigh NC & The Triangle. Top agents are set up fairly well at their previous brokerages (whether it’s marketing dollars, house splits, nice office space, street credit, etc. I’m always fascinated by our team of recruiters who show the ability to convince the top 1% of the leaders to join. What was your story of joining Compass when it was still a relatively small name back then?
What did the RE industry look like when you started, and how has it evolved since you became the founding agent at Compass?
Tell me about a memorable deal you did since covid 2020. Why was it memorable?
Our clients in NYC city are dominated by tech founders, PE & hedge fund CEO’s, & small business owners. Who are the buyers & sellers in Atlanta Georgia?
Share us some of your knowledge. Any advice for those who are new in the business? And those that are 10-15 years in the business? 27:34 talk to the most people. You’re on the timer.
You have a fairly robust team. What do you look for in a hire? How do you hire for your team?

How the tables have turned! My brilliant partner in crime Nick Svensson, hailing from Santa Barbara California interviews yours truly. A few questions & topics that we gloss over on this quick episode:
Where were you born? Where did you grow up? Tell us about your beginnings
What leads to your entry into a career as a real estate broker?
What do you look for in a hire? How did you find Danielle Stout? What does she do? Do you like her? Did you have anyone else on your team before Danielle?
Every agent operates their business in their own, unique way. I gain clients from my current & past personal relationships and trust, while some agents try to lure clients in via tiktok. What is your strategy?
Do you have a favorite real estate market outside of NYC real estate?
Why is Takk the best?
Thanks for your excellent interview skills Nick! Give Nick a follow on IG: @nick_svensson & his team @svenssonbirchgroup
