Ahmed Zamzam

Most attorneys learn real estate and construction from the outside. Ahmed Zamzam holds a Michigan real estate broker license and a Michigan builder license, and worked in real estate sales, property management, residential construction and land development.

That is not background color. It means he has structured the deal, run the site, pulled the permits, priced the change order and signed the contract. When a purchase agreement, a builder’s proposal or a schedule of values lands on the desk, he knows how it was made, who was in the room, and what was left out on purpose.

It converts into leverage. A construction lien is perfected or it is gone. A title exception is cleared on the record or the closing does not happen. A parenting time schedule is specific or it comes back to court. The work is knowing which instrument controls and moving before the period runs.

Files are built as though they will be tried. Most settle. They settle better because the file is built.

2. Licensed builderMichigan. Residential builder licensing governs contracts, workmanship and the obligations owed to an owner, which is the ground most construction claims are fought on.
3. Real estate sales and property managementTransactions and portfolios from the inside. How offers are structured, where deals break, and the notice practice that decides possession cases.
4. Residential construction and land developmentPricing, scheduling and sequencing a build. Site acquisition, entitlements and municipal approvals, from raw land through a permitted project.
5. Law practiceReal estate, construction and family matters in Michigan courts.
