Bio
Nick Zagar is the CEO and Managing Director of Mirlo Real Estate Partners, an Ann Arbor-based commercial real estate firm representing healthcare tenants and buyers across Southeast Michigan — dentists, veterinarians, physicians, and other independent practice owners.
Since 2005, Nick has negotiated more than 1,100 commercial real estate transactions, representing both landlords and tenants. That history is a working advantage: he knows how landlords build a lease because he spent years on that side of the table. Since founding Mirlo, he has put that knowledge to work exclusively for healthcare practices — negotiating the leases, renewals, and building purchases where practice owners have the most at stake.
Nick believes an educated client is the best client. He’d rather teach you how your lease actually works than ask you to trust him — and the practice owners who work with him make better decisions because of it. He quarterbacks every transaction start to finish: site selection, lease and purchase negotiation, and build-out coordination, balancing the financial, operational, and clinical considerations that make healthcare real estate different from general office space.
Nick’s thumbprint is on every Mirlo deal — and no client ever works with just Nick. Mirlo works as a team, so when you hire the firm you get all of its horsepower: every broker’s experience, every landlord relationship, and a network of attorneys, lenders, architects, and contractors who’ve done healthcare deals together for years.
Before real estate, Nick trained as a painter — a BFA from the Corcoran College of Art and an MFA from Washington University in St. Louis. The art background shows up in the work. He sees the space, not just the lease: layout, patient flow, and how an office will actually function for a practice, before anyone signs anything.
Mirlo is a member of the Healthcare Realty Network, a national network of healthcare-focused brokerages — so when a client’s deal falls outside Southeast Michigan, Nick can connect them with a firm like Mirlo in the market where they want to work.
