Who is Running Bird?

I’m Zach Osborne, a residential realtor based in Albuquerque—and before I started helping people buy and sell homes, I spent nearly 20 years in higher education.

That background shapes everything I do. I’m not just here to help you complete a transaction—I’m here to make sure you understand it. I believe that informed clients make better decisions, so I take the time to explain each step, answer every question, and give you space to move at your own pace.

Whether you’re buying your first home, selling a longtime residence, or simply trying to figure out your next steps, you deserve clear communication and thoughtful guidance—not pressure or sales tactics.

What You Can Expect From Me:

  • An Educator’s Approach – I explain the “why” behind each part of the process so you feel confident, not overwhelmed.

  • A Calm, Steady Partner – No rushing, no pushing. I work on your timeline, not mine.

  • Tailored Support – I listen closely and meet you where you are—whether that’s ready to act or just gathering info.

  • Deep Local Insight – I know Albuquerque, and I’m here to help you navigate neighborhoods, pricing, and timing with clarity.

A Bit More About Me:

I love living in New Mexico and am proud to call Albuquerque home—the people, the culture, the views, and yes, the food. When I’m not working with clients, you might find me hiking the Sandias, exploring one of the many historical and cultural sites in the region, or just enjoying a meal on one of the many patios around town.

If you’re looking for someone who will walk alongside you, answer your questions honestly, and always put your comfort first—I’d love to connect.
