Who We Are

 
 
 

The home you’ve always wanted. In the area you’ve always loved. Encora makes it happen.

We’ve all seen them: Those Instagram perfect houses, on those quiet crescents, or trendy neighborhood streets that just make you wonder: “How did they get there— those people must have money.” Or worse yet, “There’s no way I’ll ever be able to afford a place like that!”

We’re here to tell you that, while some of those things may be true— that perfect, forever home is well within your grasp, and Encora can help you reach it.

You’d love to take a home with “potential” and turn it into something dream-worthy, but with permits, contractors, funding and the ever-present “unforeseen circumstances” in buying and renovating a home, the question in realizing potential becomes “Where do we even start?”

At Encora, we work with you to find the perfect house, budget and complete the renovations, and turn it into your dream home. Sound simple? That’s because with Encora, it truly is!

 
 

 
 
 

Matt Zaran

President

You know that kid in school— the one who was always doodling, or stacking blocks in a way that the others in the room just couldn’t see? That kid was Matt. And while many kids would have ignored their natural skills and abilities, or simply wrote them off as “hobbies”, Matt took them to heart. Over the years, Matt worked in nearly every aspect of construction – from plumbing to electrical, HVAC to framing - all the while, honing the skills that would position him where he is today.

More recently, Matt has worked designing and building custom homes— using his passion and unique abilities to help his clients create their dream homes. The idea of using his skills to help people realize their dream space is something that constantly pushes Matt to reimagine what is possible in real property — Right here at home.
