Hi! I'm Zach Schaphorst

As a mortgage loan officer with a diverse background in real estate investment, sales, and data analysis, I bring a unique perspective to helping clients navigate their home financing journey. My professional experience spans traditional and non-traditional real estate financing, allowing me to craft tailored mortgage solutions for a wide range of client needs.

Licensed in Texas with over five years of mortgage industry experience, I specialize in connecting clients with the most appropriate financing options for their specific situations. My background in data analysis enables me to provide precise, strategic guidance, breaking down complex loan options into clear, actionable insights. Having personally invested in Austin and San Antonio real estate since 2015, I understand the local market dynamics from both an investor's and a homebuyer's perspective.

I graduated from the University of Texas with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology, which taught me the importance of strategic planning and goal-oriented approach – skills I now apply directly to mortgage lending. My professional journey through digital marketing and real estate investment has honed my ability to analyze market trends, assess financial opportunities, and develop creative financing strategies that meet my clients' unique goals.

Beyond my professional life, I'm a proud Austinite who embraces the city's vibrant culture. As an avid football enthusiast and host of the 'Cowboys Chat with Schap' podcast, I bring the same passion and detailed analysis to mortgage lending that I bring to sports. With my wife Claire, I enjoy exploring Austin's culinary scene, participating in outdoor competitions, and immersing myself in the city's rich musical landscape. In January 2024 we welcomed our son Patrick into the world and have thrilled (and sometimes exhausted) watching him grow.

My approach to mortgage lending goes beyond numbers. I'm committed to educating clients, demystifying the lending process, and helping them achieve their real estate dreams with confidence and clarity.
