The Operator
From $13 an hour to the engine room of a $1B organization.
Zac Anaya is SVP of Recruitment at The Perry Group. He didn't inherit a network or buy his way in — he built his seat at the table one conversation at a time.
The Story
Nothing about this
was handed to him.
The First Desk
$13 an hour, transaction assistant
Zac's real estate career started at the very bottom of the org chart — processing files, learning every moving part of a transaction, and watching exactly where agents' time and money leaked. That ground-level education never left him.
The Craft
15+ years in recruitment
Long before titles, Zac was doing the hardest job in any growth organization: getting the right people to say yes. Fifteen-plus years of recruiting taught him what actually moves a career decision — clarity, math, and trust.
The Industry
6 years in real estate
Six years inside the business — transactions, agents, teams, and brokerage economics — gave the recruiting craft its subject-matter depth. He doesn't recruit agents with slogans. He recruits with their own numbers.
The Engine Room
Helping run one of the largest organizations in the country
Today, as SVP of Recruitment at The Perry Group, Zac helps run one of the largest real estate organizations in the United States — 1,500+ agents, $1B+ in annual production, fourteen states, and growing.
“I started at $13 an hour. I remember exactly what it feels like to be undervalued by a structure — and exactly what it takes to outgrow one.”Zac Anaya · SVP of Recruitment, The Perry Group
