Associate Broker, Property Experts | Owner/Broker, Regent Realty Collective

Associate Broker, Golden Locks Brokerage.

Zakiya Watford, known to her clients as “Keyed with Zakiya,” is a seasoned real estate professional with over 20 years in the industry — beginning her career in property management before earning her real estate license in 2007 and her broker’s license shortly after. She has guided millions of dollars in real estate transactions across the Atlanta market, serving clients at every stage of the homeownership journey — from first-time buyers taking their very first step to seasoned luxury clients acquiring their next statement property.

Zakiya’s true passion is education. She believes every client, regardless of budget, deserves to feel confident and informed rather than overwhelmed — whether that means walking a first-time buyer through the fundamentals of financing and inspections, or advising a luxury client on market positioning and negotiation strategy. This hands-on, education-first approach is the thread that connects every corner of her business.

Rooted in faith and integrity, Zakiya combines two decades of market knowledge with a warm, relationship-first style. From a starter home to an estate property, she brings the same level of care, discretion, and expertise to every transaction — because the size of the deal never changes the size of her commitment to her client.

Whether you’re buying your very first home or your dream home, Zakiya brings the patience, expertise, and polish to make it seamless. Schedule a consultation today to begin your journey.
