Headshot of Zach Kirby

Zach Kirby

License Number: 102868

Hello! My name is Zach Kirby and I would love to assist you with any and all of your real estate needs. Being a ‘born and bred’ Midlands native I have an extensive background in most of the communities in and around our states capital city, including Lexington, Chapin, Irmo, Lake Murray, West Columbia, Cayce, Forest Acres, and downtown Columbia. 

Born in Columbia but raised in Chapin, I have spent my entire life in and around the Midlands of South Carolina. The majority of my life experiences that have prepared me for my career in real estate came from working alongside my parents, who owned and operated an automotive repair business in Irmo for 38 years. Our family business was built on the principle that “people matter more than profit margins.” My first and only goal, in every transaction, is to meet the needs of my clients by serving them with honesty, respect, and integrity. 

I started my career in real estate in 2013 when I began working in property management and apartment leasing during my time at the University of South Carolina. After graduating with my bachelors degree in 2016, I took a job as a middle school history teacher and ended up working for both the LexRich5 and the Lex2 school districts. I LOVED my time in the classroom but came to realize pretty quickly that I was called to serve others in the home buying/selling process. I obtained my real estate license in July of 2017 and, after teaching for two more years, left the classroom to become a full time real estate agent in June of 2019. 

Surprisingly, the tools that I acquired from teaching have transferred well into the real estate world. A large majority of my job in real estate involves educating my clients through the home buying, selling, or investing process.   

My ‘typical clients’ look a lot like young professionals looking to buy their first home; a young married couple looking to buy or sell their first home as they expand their family; military families who are looking to utilize their VA benefits to buy in and around Columbia; parents looking to invest in downtown Columbia real estate as they prepare to send their children to college; or families looking to take advantage of beautiful Lake Murray by buying a home on the water. 

When I’m not working, you can find me serving my local community through my involvement at my church, Midtown Fellowship Church. I have been a member of Midtown since 2013. With our Serve the City initiative, I enjoy giving back to our community through our work with Ezekiel Ministries, Epworth Children’s Home, Prisma Health Children’s Hospital, Transitions (a local homeless ministry), and Home Work’s of America.

Zach was an extremely helpful and professional realtor on every level. He was a great listener & knew the best fit for my needs. He had a positive attitude throughout the process and always had my back during negotiations. I would highly recommend Zach to anyone looking to buy a house.

Cameron Rainey recommends Zach Kirby

Zach has been a friend of my wife and I for a decade and we were excited to finally get to work with him. He was always encouraging and honest in the house searching and buying process, and made closing on our new house and selling our old house as seamless as possible. His knowledge of the Midlands housing market, reliable business connections, and excellent communication skills make him a realtor I would recommend to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Midlands.

Cheri Beesburg recommends Zach Kirby

Zach Kirby has given my family the very best experience we have ever had in selling a home. The sale is of our house was seemless. He handled everything and even took care of POA so we could be out of town during the closing. I should add that he had almost no notice about the POA, he didn’t panic and made sure the closing happened for us and the new owner. He is a man of integrity and grace!

Bryan Eberl recommends Zach Kirby

Zach is very knowledgeable, efficient and down to earth. He not only found me a rental place last year, but also walked me through the first time buyer process and all its daunting aspects. He made the whole process very fluid and answered every question I had and more. When I made the offer on the house I just bought, I was going to be out of the country during the majority of the buying process. He helped me schedule all the inspections, and even personally addressed a couple maintenance/ painting requirements needed for my mortgage. Everyone in his team of professionals are very easy to talk to and empathetic. One of the professionals on his team even wrote me a personalized thank you letter for using their service. I cannot stress enough how much I recommend Zach as realtor!

Savannah Sirois recommends Zach Kirby

I could not recommend Zach as an agent more. I am an easily anxious and stressed out person, and Zach truly made the experience of buying a home a breeze- even when things did not turn out as planned. His confident and level headed demeanor, guided and assured us through the entire process. He is extremely knowledgeable of the market both on the buyer and seller side. He assured us with reasonable expectations so that we were never surprised or caught off guard. My husband and I are extremely picky- through intentionality and patience Zach was able to find our perfect home. We could not be more grateful for the time and care he took in helping us buy our first home, especially when we know he had many other clients. He really is the best in SC, I wouldn't recommend anyone else. If you're looking for a lifelong friend who cares about you, goes above and beyond for his clients, and is not just someone who's trying to make a real estate transaction, then look no further, Zach's your guy.

Zach did a fantastic job! His commitment to making sure that our house was ready for the market was unprecedented. He had a plan that he laid out and stuck to it. He made my wife and I feel so comfortable in the transition from buying a house to selling ours. I would recommend zach to anyone looking to buy or sell a house.

Brandon Yopp recommends Zach Kirby

Zach was exactly who we needed. We had to move out of state and we were able to leave everything with Zach. He went above and beyond to make sure we got the best prices on repairs and handled the deal all the way through. He kept me posted on what was going on, even though I never worried about it because I knew he had it taken care of. Zach fought for us when he needed to and got our house sold for more than we ever dreamed. Thanks Zach!

Zach made the sale of our home extremely easy and carefree. He told us it would be quick but I didn't believe him! We received 4 offers in less than 48 hours. Throughout the entire process, he was patient (with us as we looked for another home), organized, answered all our questions and most importantly, funny! We would definitely recommend him to anyone who wants to sell / buy a home and not have any worries! Zach was awesome!

Jaqueline Edith Arneson recommends Zach Kirby

Zach is truly the most caring agent we’ve ever hired! He knows that he’s not just helping us buy/sell a house, he knows it’s our “home” that means everything to us. Anytime I reach out to him he’s always there immediately by phone or text. He’ll even drive over anytime I need him. Our whole family has used him. I highly highly recommend him! We had some very unusual problems arise with our purchase and I can’t believe how smooth he handled it. I don’t think the sell would have happened if it wasn’t for him and the people he contacted.

Shirley Ann Hamilton recommends Zach Kirby

We live out of state and had to sell our daughter's home due to her unexpected death. What a godsend Zack Kirby was to us at this time. He not only went way beyond his job description of making the house clean and beautiful, but also employed all personal that made the house ready at closing. We had minimal amount of work as he handled everything..except signing papers. He was prompt in answering any questions and answered in a professional understanding manner. We highly recommend Zack to be your agent. Shirley and Glen

Zach is THE BEST. We knew nothing about buying our first home, and he walked us through everything so well and was so available and communicative. He eased all our worries and we ended up in our dream first home. He is extremely knowledgeable about all things realty, and will not stop until you are satisfied with your next home!

Zach was instrumental in helping my wife and I find our first home. He's very knowledgeable of the greater Columbia areas and the school zones as well.

Zach was a great help in finding and purchasing my home. He was nothing but professional, helpful, and insightful. I was nervous going into the home buying process but Zach was able to help me slowly gain more and more comfortable with the process. He also helped me understand some of the details of the houses I visited.

Jacob Kirby recommends Zach Kirby

Zach helped me buy a house that I had been renting for 2 years at the time. The process felt too easy to be true. He took care of all of the details and stresses so that when I showed up for closing, I was almost sure I'd missed something big because of how UNSTRESSED I felt. Thankfully that wasn't the case because Zach did SUCH a great job of handling all of the minutia of buying my first home. Felt safe and taken care of the whole time.

Nathan Gabler recommends Zach Kirby

Zach helped us find the home we were looking for, he worked with us for many months of looking for the perfect place and got us a great price on it when we finally found it.
