Zaid Hanna is the Founder and Broker of Real Estate 38, a San Jose-based real estate team serving buyers, sellers, and investors throughout the South Bay. Known as the “Data Guy,” Zaid helps clients make confident real estate decisions using local market knowledge, data-backed pricing, negotiation strategy, and a clear understanding of neighborhood-level trends. Since 2004, he has helped with 1,800+ homes sold and 1,800+ clients served, while earning 500+ five-star reviews across major review platforms including Google, Zillow, and Yelp.
In 2014, Zaid formed The Hanna Group, a team of driven, like-minded real estate professionals committed to delivering exceptional service and results to the Bay Area community. Through dedication, discipline, and grit, Zaid built not only a successful team but a reputation for helping his clients grow wealth through smart real estate decisions.
When the 2008 financial crisis hit, Zaid—like many—was forced to rebuild. But unlike many, he refused to quit. Instead, he dove deep into the data and market trends, turning hardship into a springboard for growth. His relentless drive and analytical mindset earned him the nickname “Data Guy” as he became known for giving clients clear, data-backed advice—even in uncertain times.
Zaid is a Certified Negotiation Expert and has been recognized as part of the #1 real estate group in San Jose by sold units, based on MLS and RealTrends data from 2018–2026, with additional top 1% nationwiderecognition based on sales volume and units sold from 2014–2026. His fierce commitment to protecting his clients’ equity, combined with a tenacity that refuses to quit, means he will go to battle for the best possible outcome every time.
Now a full-time Realtor and devoted father of two, Zaid remains grounded by his core values: relationship first, results always. Where others see problems, Zaid sees opportunities. A skilled negotiator and discerning businessman, he guides his buyers and sellers with integrity, experience, and an unwavering desire to win on their behalf.
