While pursuing a degree in Business Economics at the University of California, Irvine, Zaid gained valuable exposure to real estate through a Blackstone program with rotations covering asset management, investments, and revenue management. He also developed hands-on experience in real estate private equity, evaluating and underwriting potential investment opportunities.

Alongside his studies, Zaid built an e-commerce business from the ground up. Making hundreds of cold calls taught him that successful business development begins with earning someone’s trust before asking for their business. That experience strengthened his communication skills, resilience, and ability to create genuine connections.

At ARDRI, Zaid is committed to being a responsive and dependable resource for TPO mortgage professionals. He believes in answering the phone, communicating honestly, and following up before someone has to ask twice. When he does not immediately know an answer, he is transparent about it—and takes ownership of finding the right information.

Outside of work, Zaid is passionate about cars and Formula 1, particularly Mercedes and team principal Toto Wolff. He also enjoys practicing at the golf driving range, following Arsenal Football Club, studying money markets and history, traveling, and spending time with friends and family.
