Drawn to Charlotte’s vibrant energy, business-friendly climate, and remarkable growth potential, founders Avihay (Avi) Ohana and Moshik Zemach, who brought their complementary real estate backgrounds together in 2020 to form Atlas Residential and Atlas Residential Development, bring a comprehensive approach to home acquisition, distress solutions, and residential development across North Carolina, particularly in the Charlotte and Triad regions.
Moshik Zemach, Head of Portfolio Sales & Development, holds a master’s degree from NYU and spent eight years steering high-end projects for a major luxury residential developer in New York City before launching his own Owner’s Representation firm for international investors. Outside of work, Moshik is a husband, father of two, world traveler, and water-sports enthusiast passionate about wing-foiling and swimming.
Avihay Ohana, Head of Acquisitions, originally from northern Israel, served as a military officer and tank commander before transitioning into sales and real estate development. Avi specializes in residential land acquisition with a focus on subdivision developments of 45 or more homes across the state.
At Atlas Residential, the team specializes in direct single-family acquisitions and helping homeowners navigate complex distress situations—such as foreclosures, probate, and tax liens. Through Atlas Residential Development, Avi and Moshik work to strengthen North Carolina’s housing stock by connecting these real-world solutions directly to community growth. As members of REBIC since May 2026, they are dedicated to contributing meaningfully to the broader land development industry and supporting the region.
