Founder & CEOJoseph Carter
Founder & CEO · S8 Atlas
Joseph Carter, founder and managing partner of S8 Atlas, came to real estate through service. A former U.S. Navy Corpsman who served six years with the United States Marines, he built a career on discipline, accountability, and a deep commitment to the people relying on him. He carried that same sense of duty into real estate, where he found his calling in helping clients confidently build, grow, and manage their portfolios. That same mission-driven, solution-focused mindset is exactly what Joseph brings to S8 Atlas today. As the firm’s guiding voice, he leads with strategic consulting, education, and personalized guidance, giving clients the knowledge, structure, and support they need to make informed decisions at every stage, from a first purchase to an established portfolio. At S8 Atlas, consulting comes first. Joseph believes trust is earned through integrity, honest communication, and putting clients’ goals ahead of everything else. His vision is clear: to build lasting relationships that help clients navigate the complexities of real estate with confidence, clarity, and a team genuinely committed to their success.
Founder & COOQuaid Madison
Founder & COO · S8 Atlas
Quaid, managing partner and Chief Operating Officer of S8 Atlas, found his way into real estate through sales. While studying electrical engineering at Utah State, he built a career in door-to-door sales, then spent four years as a registered investment advisor, running offices in San Diego and Farmington, Utah, before launching a highly successful eCommerce business. He rolled those profits into real estate, where he found his calling in building rental portfolios and flipping homes. That same entrepreneurial, results-driven mindset is exactly what Quaid brings to S8 Atlas today. As the firm’s operational engine, he oversees the details that carry a deal from start to finish, from property research and lending to property management and title coordination, along with the partner relationships that keep every transaction moving. At S8 Atlas, the details make the difference. Quaid believes strong returns are protected long before closing, through rigorous due diligence, disciplined systems, and operations that run without surprises. His vision is clear: to help clients build lasting wealth through real estate with confidence, clarity, and a partner as invested in the outcome as they are.
Realtor / LenderNick Zeoli
Realtor / Lender · S8 Atlas
Nick Zeoli, a real estate partner at S8 Atlas, came to real estate through sheer hustle. In 2021 he founded Zeoli Realty and built it from the ground up into one of Michigan’s most recognized names in the business, closing a high volume of residential sales across the state. Known as the first one into the office and the last one out, he found his calling in the deals others gave up on, turning stalled and stressful situations into successful closings. That same relentless, results-driven drive is exactly what Nick brings to S8 Atlas today. As the firm’s driving force in the Michigan market, he gives clients an edge where it counts most: sourcing the right properties, reading the local market, and backing every deal with sharp marketing and hard negotiation. At S8 Atlas, results speak louder than promises. Nick believes a great client experience should feel as professional as it is personal, earned through attentive listening, clear communication, and a team that treats your goals as the mission. His vision is clear: to help investors build lasting wealth in Michigan real estate with a partner who never stops working on their behalf.
Realtor / Property ManagementMohamad
Realtor / Property Management · S8 Atlas
With over four years in the Michigan real estate market, I focus on one thing: helping investors buy, sell, and manage residential properties that actually perform. As a registered Michigan real estate agent and Certified Property Manager, I oversee a portfolio of more than 100 rentals, handling tenant placement, leasing, and proactive maintenance so owners can stay hands-off while their investments stay protected. Alongside management, I represent investors, first-time buyers, and sellers on residential sales, helping them find the right deals and get the most out of every transaction. Running active sales and day-to-day operations at the same time gives me a full view of the market, from what makes a property worth acquiring to what it takes to run it profitably over the long term. Whether you’re building an investment portfolio, selling a property, or looking for management you don’t have to think about, my goal stays the same: clear guidance, dependable service, and results that hold up over time.
