Aaron Zucker founded ZIG in December 2018 with a vision of executing on the acquisition and operation of value-add retail properties across the country while having as much fun as humanly possible along the way. As the company’s founder and principal, Aaron is responsible for the company's success and oversight of its investments in people, properties, & processes.
Prior to starting ZIG, Aaron spent his career in leasing value-add retail shopping centers across the country for large shopping center owners and most recently, as the SVP of Leasing for a family office in south Florida that owned 2M+ square feet of assets in 12 states. Having successfully procured, negotiated, and completed over 100 new leases ranging from the likes of local shop tenants to national big-box grocery stores and retailers, Aaron leveraged his expertise in leasing fundamentals to build the foundation of ZIG’s acquisition criteria.
In just three years, the company has acquired properties in thirteen states, has yet to miss a mortgage or vendor payment, and continues to grow exponentially under Aaron’s leadership. In addition to his commitment to ZIG, Aaron is a franchise owner within the American Family Care (AFC) brand in the Raleigh, NC market where he and his partner own and operate urgent cares that service the communities and families alike. Zucker is also involved in Young Presidents Organization (YPO), Innovating Commerce Serving Communities (ICSC), hosts the, “Limitless: How To Crush It In Commercial Real Estate” podcast, and serves on boards for several non-profits.
Aaron graduated from the University of Alabama in 2011 with a master's degree in 2012.
Fun fact: Zucker credits the igniting of his entrepreneurial journey through owning and operating a bar while in college with several friends, which ultimately led him to want to get into the commercial real estate business on the ownership side.
