The Story Behind That Neighborhood Guy
Hi, I'm Zhay !
First, thanks for stopping by.
If you've made it to this page, chances are you're looking for more than just a Realtor. You're looking for someone you can trust to help guide one of life's biggest decisions.
Whether you're buying your first home, searching for your next one, selling your current home, or relocating to Central Florida, my goal is simple
Help you make confident decisions with honest advice, local expertise, and a genuine commitment to your success.
That philosophy is what inspired
That Neighborhood Guy.
It's More Than a Name
People often ask me,
"Why That Neighborhood Guy"
The answer is simple.
What started as a name quickly became something much bigger.
I believe buying or selling a home isn't just about the property;
it's about the life you'll build around it.
A house is where you live.
A neighborhood is where life happens.
It's where you'll meet your neighbors, discover your favorite coffee shop, support local businesses, spend weekends at the park, celebrate milestones, and create memories that last a lifetime.
That's what excites me!
Helping people find more than just a home.
Helping them find a place where they truly belong.
To me, That Neighborhood Guy is more than a brand.
It's a commitment to putting people before transactions, neighborhoods before addresses, and relationships before sales.
Because when you love where you live, you're not just buying a house...
You're becoming part of a neighborhood.

Why
Clients
Choose
Me.
Every Realtor has access to the MLS.
Every Realtor can schedule a showing.
Every Realtor can write a contract.
I believe what truly makes the difference is how you're treated throughout the journey.
When we work together, you can expect:
✔ Honest advice; even when it's not the easiest answer.
✔ Clear communication from beginning to end.
✔ A strategy built around your goals; not mine.
✔ Education that helps you make confident decisions.
✔ A relationship that continues long after closing day.
Because buying or selling a home isn't just another transaction.
It's your future.
And that's something I never take lightly.
Why Central Florida
Feels Like Home
My connection to Central Florida began in Dr. Phillips and Hunters Creek, where I grew up and learned that finding the right home is about much more than the house itself;it's about the neighborhood and the lifestyle that surrounds it.
As life evolved, so did my journey. My wife and I lived in Windermere then area building a home in Horizon West in Summerlake Groves and later Winter Garden behind the gates of Waterside, giving us the opportunity to experience firsthand many of the communities that make Central Florida such an incredible place to call home.
Today, I'm proud to call Clermont home. Every community we've lived in has shaped the way I serve my clients and reinforced the belief behind That Neighborhood Guy: helping people find not just the right house, but the place where they'll truly feel at home.
My Promise
Whether we're touring homes, preparing your property for the market, or celebrating around the closing table, my promise remains the same.
You'll always receive honest guidance.
You'll never be pressured into making a decision.
You'll always know what's happening next.
And you'll always have someone who genuinely wants what's best for you and your family.
Because that's what neighbors do.
What You'll Usually
Find Me Doing
🐾 Spending time with Leia. She's a rescue from Tampa Bay Beagle Rescue and my favorite companion for exploring new neighborhoods.
🚴 Riding with the Peloton community. If you're on Peloton, you might spot me as @thatSocialGuy—because building connections doesn't stop when I leave the office.
☕ Enjoying a good cup of coffee. It's fueled countless conversations, neighborhood adventures, and probably more than a few real estate ideas.
📍 Exploring Central Florida. Whether it's a new neighborhood, local restaurant, community event, or hidden gem, I'm always looking for something worth sharing.
💡 Finding better ways to help my clients. I'm always learning, improving, and looking for ways to make the buying and selling process simpler, smoother, and less stressful.
❤️ Helping people find where they belong. That's more than what I do; it's why I do it.
"I believe the best home isn't
just the one you buy;
it's the neighborhood
where you build your life."
