We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Zack Tarbet. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Zack below.

Alright, Zack thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. So let’s jump to your mission – what’s the backstory behind how you developed the mission that drives your brand?

I was in the Army for 9 years and served as in infantryman. During my time in service I used my VA loan twice to buy a home. Never was there any formal education on how service members can use this benefit. Sure, there is plenty of information on the GI Bill but when it came to the VA loan there was little to none offered.

My old soldier called me to refinance one of my homes. It sparked so many questions that i had to ask how he got started in the mortgage industry. I quickly began studying for my test after reviewing the VA handbook. It was clear there was ma massive lack of information around one of the best benefits a service member can obtain.

I quickly got licensed and started working for a company while i was stationed at Fort Benning GA. I turned my focus onto helping educate veterans on the VA Loan.

The amount of misinformation is insane when it comes to this HomeLoan. Not only amongst service members but also real estate professionals. While providing information and education I have saved veterans thousands of dollars in fees, shown them how to leverage their VA Loan to start a rental property portfolio and dispel myths in the real estate community that hindered veterans from homeownership.

My goal since leaving the military in 2021 is helping both past and present veterans know the greatest benefit they have at their fingertips. In the past 3 years i have helped over 150 military families use their VA loan benefit.

Zack, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

Originally from Los Angeles, California i decided to join the Army when I was 19. After serving 9 years in the Army as an infantryman i stumbled into the mortgage industry when my soldier who left the military called me to refinance one of my homes.

Quickly i began the process to obtain my license with the focus on helping veterans learn and use their VA Loan. We focus on helping veterans save thousands in fees and have saved countless deals from other lenders who do not fully understand the program.

The average mortgage professional does 2 VA Loans a year. While my team and I have helped over 60+ military families use their VA loan in 2024.

W are proud to be a team of veterans that focus on helping the veteran community.
