Real Estate

Zach is a seasoned expert in the Nashville core real estate and luxury markets, specializing in Nashville’s urban neighborhoods, midtown corridors, and suburbs across Williamson County and beyond. Based in Hillsboro Village, he lives and breathes the walkability, energy, and charm of Nashville, and leverages that passion to help clients find homes that match their lifestyle.

Originally from Chicago, Zach earned dual degrees in Finance and Accounting while playing collegiate basketball at Saint Xavier University. He moved to Nashville in 2012, starting his career at Wiles + Taylor & Co., PC. Over the next several years, he navigated diverse roles, from touring as a road manager to consulting for Warner Brothers. He returned to Wiles + Taylor to manage a team doing accounting for 20+ artists, writers, and producers before pivoting in 2018 into real estate, where he’s been combining his financial acumen, people skills, and Nashville knowledge to help clients build wealth, find their dream homes, and optimize their returns ever since.

With years of experience navigating complex financials and creative industries, Zach brings a unique perspective to his real estate transactions. He has guided hundreds of families, investors, and sellers through every phase of buying and selling. He is consistently recognized for his fiduciary approach to real estate, always putting clients first, and skilled negotiation across various price points. He’s a vocal advocate for his beliefs and puts this into action as a Board Director with Greater Nashville REALTORS®, Middle Tennessee’s largest professional real estate association.

Clients appreciate that Zach doesn’t see transactions as mere deals, he sees goals. Whether coaching first-time buyers in East Nashville, relocating executives seeking a Brentwood estate, or helping luxury sellers in 12 South maximize their return, he brings clarity, responsiveness, and transparency. His depth of market knowledge, down to earth personality, and financial savvy give his clients confidence at every step of their transaction.

Beyond business, Zach is deeply rooted in the community. He and his wife Jeanette are raising three children, Barron, Grace, and Jack, and spend weekends enjoying Nashville’s social events, cheering on Vanderbilt, hitting the golf course, or taking family trips domestically and abroad. And of course, he still plays basketball weekly, keeping that competitive spirit alive at ‘DadBall’!

In every transaction, Zach is your fiduciary, your advisor, advocate, and coach. His passion is guiding clients to decisions that reflect both their goals and their financial realities. For those seeking a real estate partner deeply connected to Nashville’s core, committed to integrity, and a personal touch, he’s your guy.

Zach Opheim

What's the craziest thing you've seen or done in real estate?

The craziest thing I’ve ever done by far was helping a seller move his personal items out of the house into the moving truck the morning of our closing. I represented the buyer….and they ALSO helped pack things up to the moving truck. It was the most awkward hour of my life!

What's the favorite place you've traveled and why?

Italy is my favorite place I’ve visited so far. The lifestyle and speed they live is unmatched, and the architecture is out of this world.

What's the best weekend getaway in Tennessee?

A favorite weekend getaway is heading down to Tims Ford Lake for a fun water getaway in our summer heat!

What are your favorite nashville restaruants?

Some of my favorite restaurants include Kayne Prime, Little Hats, and Fido!

Which nashville neighborhoods have your heart?

Being a current resident, my heart is in Hillsboro Village, but I also love all things Belmont 12 South and Green Hills. Lastly, who wouldn’t love the architecture of the homes in West End communities like Sylvan Park and Richland?!

What's the one home feature that instantly wins you over?

As soon as I see a huge waterfall island with a drop-in sink I’m done. Nothing better than a spacious open kitchen for hosting family & friends.

WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE SANDWICH?

Ooo that’s tough! I’m going to go with the Farmhouse Deluxe Burger from Hopdoddy’s in Hillsboro Village. Eat it outside on their patio!

YOU'RE SO NASHVILLE IF:

You’re so Nashville if the letters on your hat are upside down!

Amazing Success Stories

Hear from my happy clients

"Nevin Batiwalla was our realtor as I went through the process of selling my late mother’s condo, and I can’t sing his praises highly enough. There were a lot of ups and downs in the process due to issues with the house, and he navigated it all with grace, always remaining upbeat."
"I’ve known Brandon Knox for 10+ years. I’ve worked with him and/or referred friends/clients on a number of occasions. He and his team at BDG/Compass never disappoint! They go above and beyond to serve their clients, and I will continue to recommend Brandon and his team going forward!!"

"Brandon Knox and his team were outstanding from start to finish. Professional, responsive, and strategic. They communicated clearly, handled every detail, and delivered exactly what they promised. Highly recommend."
