Episode 71: The Man, The Myth, The Legend of Forth Worth Texas, John ”JZ” Zimmerman

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!     Please follow JZ IG @jzfortworth, FB at John Zimmerman, Website www.jzforthworth.com    Please follow us on IG @takkyamaguchi FB: https://www.facebook.com/takk.yamaguchi The Takk Team Compass: http://bit.ly/TakkTeamCompass The Takk Team Page: http://bit.ly/TakkTeamPage The Takk Team Facebook: http://bit.ly/TakkTeamFacebook Instagram: http://bit.ly/TakkInstagram Linkedin: http://bit.ly/TakkLinkedin Follow The Real Takk Podcast where we discuss industry topics relating to all things real estate: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/39sf5cb...
