Ron Zach
CEO
NRL Mortgage

Ron Zach has worked in real estate for 17 years – and throughout his career, he has kept his schedule open day and night for his clients. “I’ve never had an out of office message,” he says. “I’m always available 24/7.” As the CEO of NRL Mortgage, Zach has helped grow the company to serve 46 states by adding new branches and employing more than 500 team members. Within the last year, NRL opened 12 offices on the West Coast, and in 2017, the company broke a production goal of over $1.1 billion, its most profitable year ever.

“I believe that when you provide the best service and support, your clients, partners, vendors and everyone you work with feels that level of excellence and gravitates towards the business,” Zach says. “We pride ourselves on being able to get our clients into their dream homes.”

Last year, Zach ranked among National Mortgage Professional’s 40 Under 40 list and Mortgage Professional America’s Hot 100 list. He has also earned a 40 Under 40 Rising Star Award from HousingWire.

Even in his free time, Zach is winning accolades: In 2015, he was inducted into the Ronnie Arrow JCC Sports Hall of Fame for his long-term dedication to swimming.

Zach is on the board of the Jewish Community Center and the Bellaire Little League. He also volunteers with the J Young Leaders, the ERJCC Children’s Scholarship Ball and the Holocaust Museum of Houston.

The father of three young athletes, Zach is committed to training them and their teammates. “Coaching my kids and their teams is more than just volunteering my time,” he says. “It gives me the opportunity to make a difference in this chapter of their lives, their teammates’ lives, and make an impact on the community.”
