Welcoming Belfiore real estate consulting to the Zonda family

Nov 24, 2020

Zonda acquires Phoenix-based real estate consulting firm to expand reach in a growing market.

We’re thrilled to announce that Zonda has acquired Belfiore Real Estate Consulting, a leading full-service residential market research firm based in the Phoenix area.

Both of our companies share a passion for helping customers access expert advice and builder data for real-time market clarity. This acquisition further accelerates Zonda’s reach throughout Arizona and enhances data and advisory services for homebuilders currently building or looking to build in the Grand Canyon State.

Zonda’s purpose is to inform, advise and connect the next generation of housing industry experts. Our insights, data products, and advisory services help our clients stay ahead, and we look forward to further anchoring ourselves within one of the fastest growing new homebuilding markets.

Jeff Meyers, CEO, Zonda

The Arizona market has not only recovered from a COVID-19-related slump but is now thriving due to buyer migration and low mortgage rates. This demand for housing has created a great opportunity for homebuilders and generates a clear need for robust offerings only we can provide. Together, the companies will expand current offerings for homebuilding partners to unleash the most complete view of where the market is headed and clear, actionable information to help customers make smarter decisions and grow their businesses.

Prior to starting Belfiore Real Estate Consulting 15 years ago, I worked with Jeff Meyers, Tim Sullivan, and the Zonda Team in various companies for a decade. Coming together to help the real estate community with our collective data and advisory services is a dream come true.

Jim Belfiore, Founder and President, Belfiore Real Estate Consulting.

Seasoned industry expert Jim Belfiore brings more than 20 years of industry experience to the Zonda portfolio. He founded Belfiore Real Estate Consulting in 2006 and, along with his team, helped grow the company into a top full-service residential research firm in the Phoenix area.

The company acquired Bird.i, a satellite imagery, and artificial intelligence (AI) technology company, earlier this year further evolving the brand into a leading data, research, and technology company. In October 2020, Hanley Wood | Meyers Research rebranded to Zonda.

Zonda serves a diverse cross-category audience, including homebuilders, land brokers and developers, mortgage lenders, finance, building product manufacturers, and many more.
