Zacory Ruiz

Zac Ruiz is a co-founder of AVLmeetup, a Marine Corps veteran, and the operator behind CloseBoth and AgentTitle. He partners with top-producing real estate agents and teams to launch mortgage businesses and build agent-owned title companies.

Before that, Zac served as an Infantry Sergeant in the Marine Corps, worked at JPMorgan’s investment bank in New York, and served as Director of Technology and Strategic Growth for an Asheville homebuilder doing about 130 homes a year. He’s been building and running businesses since 2014, with software engineering as his primary tool since 2019.

Through AVLmeetup, Ruiz Report, and remc, Zac brought market data and practical business conversations to Western North Carolina’s real estate community. That work continues to inform the businesses he builds today.

Zac wants to connect with producing agents and teams whose transaction volume can support businesses beyond their real estate commissions, and experienced mortgage and title operators who can help build and run them.

His work brings those people together: agents contribute relationships and deal flow, while capable operators provide the specialized expertise and operating responsibility those businesses require. Zac helps put the people and systems behind the operation so agents can stay focused on their clients and core business.
