Zach Proux is a licensed Realtor with Keller Williams Rivertown, one of West Michigan's largest brokerages, and the owner of Real Property Management Partners, a property management company serving Kent, Ottawa, Allegan, and Barry counties.

Few agents work on as many sides of real estate as Zach does. Through his property management business, which he runs with his wife Bre, he manages residential and commercial properties every day. That work keeps him close to what homes actually rent for, what buyers and tenants care about, and what it really costs to own and maintain a property. Clients selling a home benefit from his practical sense of value and condition. Investors benefit from his eye for rental properties and his ability to run the numbers on cash flow, rents, and long-term returns.

Running a management company has also given Zach a large network of trusted local contractors, inspectors, lenders, and service providers. Whether a client needs to make repairs before listing, wants to turn a home into a rental, or is weighing whether to sell or hold, Zach can bring in the right people and keep the process moving. He thinks of his business as a one-stop resource for anything real estate in West Michigan.

Zach brings a background in technology and data to his work, so his advice is grounded in real numbers rather than guesswork. He knows that most people aren't ready to make a move the first time they ask what their home is worth. He's happy to be a resource whether a client's plans are one month away or five years out.

Zach lives in Grand Rapids with his wife Bre and their young daughter. When he's not working, you'll find him out on the water, tackling landscaping and projects around his own home, or making the rounds at local playgrounds with his daughter.
