About Zach

The short version

Zach Beaubien is a Loan Officer with Fairway Home Mortgage in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, working with first-time and first-generation homebuyers across the state.

The longer version

Zach is a numbers person by training. He earned his degree from the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul and started his career in accounting — including audit work at a Big Four firm — before coming home to the mortgage business, where he'd previously worked on the operations side at Fairway. Translation: before he was quoting payments, he was the person auditing whether numbers like these actually held up.

That background shapes how he works. No vibes-based pre-approvals, no "just trust me" — every buyer gets the actual math: the payment, the assistance stack, the cash-to-close, and the trade-offs, in plain language.

The brand started as a joke that refused to die. Every conversation with friends, family, and eventually clients opened the same way — "hey Zach, what's my payment?" — so he made it the whole thing: the handle, the site, the promise. Ask the question; get a real answer.

Who he works with

• First-time buyers — especially people in their 20s who assumed they weren't allowed in the room.
• First-generation buyers — if your family always rented, Minnesota has funds written for exactly you, and Zach knows when the rounds open.
• Program-stackers — buyers using MN Housing, county, and city assistance together, which requires a participating lender who actually knows the map.
