Exhibit 10.13(a)

ZipRealty, Inc. Amended and Restated Management Incentive Plan — Fiscal Year 2006

General Purpose: This ZipRealty, Inc. (“Company”) Amended and Restated Management
Incentive Plan — Fiscal Year 2006 (this “Plan”) is designed to motivate and retain the Company’s
Management (defined below) to achieve the Company’s financial and operational goals for Fiscal Year
2006, as well as to retain such persons in the employ of the Company. The purpose of this Plan is
to respond to challenging market conditions by (i) lowering the performance hurdles in recognition
of the difficult market environment; (ii) lowering potential bonus targets that can be earned; and
(iii) broadening the scope of the plan to include all full-time corporate employees, including
those below the manager level. This Plan supersedes and replaces the previous ZipRealty Inc.
Management Incentive Plan — Fiscal Year 2006 which was outlined in a 10-K filing on March 16,
2006.

Duration: This Plan will be in effect for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31,
2006 (“Fiscal Year 2006”), meaning that the performance period determining whether bonuses will be
paid upon satisfaction of performance objectives is Fiscal Year 2006 (though such payments, if
earned, will be made following the end of this Fiscal Year as set forth below).

Plan Administrator: The Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors
(the “Board”) shall administer this Plan with respect to participating persons who are executive
officers of the Company, and the Company’s President and/or Chief Executive Officer, in
consultation with the Committee, shall administer this Plan with respect to other participants (as
applicable, the “Administrator”).

Eligible Persons: For the purposes of this Plan, “Management” includes, with the exception
of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, all employees of the Company holding the position of Vice
President or higher, and all headquarters-based full-time “Exempt” (pursuant to federal and state
wage and hour law) employees, in each case, and as a condition to such each such person earning and
becoming entitled to any bonus payment hereunder, provided that such person is employed by the
Company both (i) on December 31, 2006, and (ii) on the date following the end of Fiscal Year 2006
on which the Plan Administrator completes its review of Fiscal Year 2006 performance and approves
the payment of bonuses under this Plan. “Management” specifically excludes all District Directors,
District Managers and all other employees not specifically identified above in this paragraph. The
Company’s Chief Executive Officer will not participate under this Plan but, rather, will receive
any incentive bonus for Fiscal Year 2006 pursuant to the terms of Section 3.b of his August 24,
2006 offer letter with the Company.

Proration: In the sole discretion of the Administrator, a pro-rated incentive bonus may be
paid under this Plan for any member of Management who became eligible to participate in the Plan
after the beginning of Fiscal Year 2006.

Incentive Pool Requirement: The Committee will establish an incentive pool of funds
available for payout under this Plan only if the Company achieves both (i) the minimum revenue
threshold and (ii) the minimum earnings threshold, which together if both achieved constitute
“Threshold Performance,” at levels determined by the Committee on adoption of this plan. Should
the Company meet or exceed Threshold Performance, a bonus pool shall be established and paid out in
accordance with the methodology set out in this Plan. Note that the minimum earnings threshold
shall be based upon a targeted level of pro forma earnings, which is a measure used by the company
in certain of its public disclosures to measure performance which consists of net income plus
certain non-cash or non-recurring items, such as stock compensation expenses, non-cash income
taxes, and certain non-recurring expense items.

Incentive Eligibility: Subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan, members of
Management (excluding non-“Exempt” employees) will be eligible to receive payment of a bonus amount
(the “Target Incentive Amount”), determined as a percentage of such individual’s annual base salary
at December 31, 2006 (“Base Salary”), upon the Company’s achievement of Threshold Performance and,
with respect to any member of Management, upon that member’s achievement of a total Success Profile
rating for 2006 of 2.0 or higher (on a 3.0 point scale):

 

 

	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 	

Position

	 	 	Target Incentive Amount at
 Achievement of
Threshold Performance

(“Target Incentive Percentage”)	 
	 	President

	 	 	17.5% of Base Salary	 
	 	EVP, SVP

	 	 	15.0% of Base Salary	 
	 	VP

	 	 	12.5% of Base Salary	 
	 	HQ Directors

	 	 	8.0% of Base Salary	 
	 	HQ Managers

	 	 	5.0% of Base Salary	 
	 	Other Full-Time HQ Employees

	 	 	2.5% of Base Salary	 
	 

Performance Adjustment: To provide a mechanism to reward outstanding performers, subject
to not exceeding the aggregate payout amount established by this Plan, the Administrator will have
the discretion to adjust any individual participant’s Target Incentive Amount as a result of
individual performance for Fiscal Year 2006 (the “Adjusted Incentive Amount”) by reducing or
increasing such amount otherwise determined as set forth in the above tables by up to 10 percentage
points.

Calculation and Approval. An individual’s Target or Adjusted Incentive Amount, as
determined in the manner set forth above, is that individual participant’s “Actual Incentive” with
respect to Fiscal Year 2006. All calculations of each participant’s Actual Incentive must be
approved by the Administrator with respect to such participant and the total amount of the
aggregate incentive pool to be paid hereunder to all participants must be approved by the Committee
after such consultation with the Board as it deems appropriate.

Payouts: All amounts, if any, to be paid out hereunder shall be paid by March 14, 2007,
following determination by the Committee that there shall be a pool from which to make such
payments with respect to Fiscal Year 2006.

Future Incentive Periods: This Plan is in effect only with respect to Fiscal Year 2006.
Nothing in this Plan provides for or implies the establishment or payment of any bonuses with
respect to future periods.

Merger or Acquisition: The Board of Directors may modify this Plan, including terminate it
without making payments hereunder, with respect to Fiscal Year 2006 in its sole discretion in the
event of a merger or acquisition of the Company.

Administration: The Committee has sole and exclusive discretionary authority to interpret
this Plan and adopt such rules and regulations for carrying out this Plan as it deems necessary and
appropriate. Decisions by the Committee are final and binding on all parties to the maximum extent
allowed by law.

Employment is Terminable At Will: Nothing in this Plan will interfere with or limit in any
way the right of the Company or the right of any individual to terminate the employment
relationship at any time, with or without cause.

 

 

General Terms and Conditions: Amounts to be paid under this Plan will be paid from the
general funds of the Company. Nothing in this Plan will be construed to create a trust or
establish any evidence of any individual’s claim of any right to payment other than as an unsecured
general creditor of the Company. All payments will be made in the currency in which the individual
is regularly paid and will be subject to the satisfaction of applicable federal, state, local or
similar income withholding requirements and to any employment tax withholding requirements. The
Company shall withhold all applicable amounts required by law from any payments hereunder.

Governing Law; Severability: This Plan will be construed, administered and governed in all
respects in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California. In the event that any
provision of this Plan is held illegal or invalid for any reason, such holding will not affect the
remaining provisions of this Plan, and this Plan will be construed and enforced as if the illegal
and invalid provision had not been included.

Entire Agreement. This Plan, and any resolutions of the Compensation Committee amending
the Plan, is the entire understanding between the Company and any participant regarding the subject
matter of this Plan and supersedes all prior bonus or commission incentive plans, or employment
contracts whether with any subsidiary or affiliate, or any written or verbal representations
regarding the subject matter of this Plan. Participation in this Plan during the Plan Year will not
convey any entitlement to participate in this or future plans or to the same or similar bonus
benefits. Payments under this Plan are an extraordinary item of compensation that is outside the
normal or expected compensation for the purpose of calculating any extra benefits, termination,
severance, redundancy, end-of-service premiums, bonuses, long-service awards, overtime premiums,
pension or retirement benefits or other similar payment.exv10w1

(a) The Executive recognizes and acknowledges that in the course of his duties he is likely to
receive confidential or proprietary information owned by the Company, its affiliates or third
parties with whom the Company or any such affiliates has an obligation of confidentiality.
Accordingly, during and after the Term, the Executive agrees to keep confidential and not disclose
or make accessible to any other person or use for any other purpose other than in connection with
the fulfillment of his duties under this Agreement, any Confidential and Proprietary Information
(as defined below) owned by, or received by or on behalf of, the Company or any of its affiliates.
“Confidential and Proprietary Information” shall

2

 

include, but shall not be limited to, confidential or proprietary scientific or technical
information, data, formulas and related concepts, business plans (both current and under
development), client lists, promotion and marketing programs, trade secrets, or any other
confidential or proprietary business information relating to development programs, costs, revenues,
marketing, investments, sales activities, promotions, credit and financial data, manufacturing
processes, financing methods, plans or the business and affairs of the Company or of any affiliate
or client of the Company. The Executive expressly acknowledges the trade secret status of the
Confidential and Proprietary Information and that the Confidential and Proprietary Information
constitutes a protectable business interest of the Company. The Executive agrees: (i) not to use
any such Confidential and Proprietary Information for himself or others; and (ii) not to take any
Company material or reproductions (including but not limited to writings, correspondence, notes,
drafts, records, invoices, technical and business policies, computer programs or disks) thereof
from the Company’s offices at any time during his employment by the Company, except as required in
the execution of the Executive’s duties to the Company. The Executive agrees to return immediately
all Company material and reproductions (including but not limited, to writings, correspondence,
notes, drafts, records, invoices, technical and business policies, computer programs or disks)
thereof in his possession to the Company upon request and in any event immediately upon termination
of employment.

(b) Except with prior written authorization by the Company, the Executive agrees not to disclose
or publish any of the Confidential and Proprietary Information, or any confidential, scientific,
technical or business information of any other party to whom the Company or any of its affiliates
owes an obligation of confidence, at any time during or after his employment with the Company.

(c) The Executive agrees that all inventions, discoveries, improvements and patentable or
copyrightable works (“Inventions”) initiated, conceived or made by him, either alone or in
conjunction with others, during the Term shall be the sole property of the Company to the maximum
extent permitted by applicable law and, to the extent permitted by law, shall be “works made for
hire” as that term is defined in the United States Copyright Act (17 U.S.C.A., Section 101). The
Company shall be the sole owner of all patents, copyrights, trade secret rights, and other
intellectual property or other rights in connection therewith. The Executive hereby assigns to the
Company all right, title and interest he may have or acquire in all such Inventions; provided,
however, that the Board of Directors of the Company shall waive the Company’s rights pursuant to
this Section 4(c) with respect to any Invention that is not directly or indirectly related to the
Company’s business. The Executive further agrees to assist the Company in every proper way (but at
the Company’s expense) to obtain and from time to time enforce patents, copyrights or other rights
on such Inventions in any and all countries, and to that end the Executive will execute all
documents necessary:

(i) To apply for, obtain and vest in the name of the Company alone (unless the Company
otherwise directs) letters patent, copyrights or other analogous protection in any country
throughout the world and when so obtained or vested to renew and restore the same; and

(ii) to defend any opposition proceedings in respect of such applications and any
opposition proceedings or petitions or applications for revocation of such letters patent,
copyright or other analogous protection.

(d) The Executive acknowledges that while performing the services under this Agreement the
Executive may locate, identify and/or evaluate patented or patentable inventions having commercial
potential in the fields of media, internet, broadcasting, marketing, advertising and other
technologies and other fields which may be of potential interest to the Company or one of its
affiliates (the “Third Party Inventions”). The Executive understands, acknowledges and agrees that
all rights to, interests in or opportunities regarding, all Third-Party Inventions identified by
the Company, any of its affiliates or either of the

3

 

foregoing persons’ officers, directors, employees (including the Executive), agents or consultants
during the Employment Term shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Company or
such affiliate and the Executive shall have no rights whatsoever to such Third-Party Inventions and
will not pursue for himself or for others any transaction relating to the Third-Party Inventions
which is not on behalf of the Company.

(e) The provisions of this Section 4 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

5. Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation and Non-Disparagement.

(a) The Executive understands and recognizes that his services to the Company are special and
unique and that in the course of performing such services the Executive will have access to and
knowledge of Confidential and Proprietary Information (as defined in Section 5) and the Executive
agrees that, during the Term and for a period of eighteen ( 18 ) months thereafter, so long as
Company pays Executive Three Hundred Seventy-Two Thousand Dollars ($372,000.00) in a lump sum,
exclusive of salary, as consideration for the period of non-competition, he shall not in any
manner, directly or indirectly, on behalf of himself or any person, firm, partnership, joint
venture, corporation or other business entity (“Person”), enter into or engage in any business
which is engaged in any business directly or indirectly competitive with the business of the
Company, either as an individual for his own account, or as a partner, joint venturer, owner,
executive, employee, independent contractor, principal, agent, consultant, salesperson, officer,
director or shareholder of a Person in a business competitive with the Company within the
geographic area of the Company’s business, which is deemed by the parties hereto to be worldwide.
The Company acknowledges the need for the Executive to be employed in his profession and will
consider whether there is a specific conflict. The Executive acknowledges that, due to the unique
nature of the Company’s business, the loss of any of its clients or business flow or the improper
use of its Confidential and Proprietary Information could create significant instability and cause
substantial damage to the Company and its affiliates and therefore the Company has a strong
legitimate business interest in protecting the continuity of its business interests and the
restriction herein agreed to by the Executive narrowly and fairly serves such an important and
critical business interest of the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, the Company shall be
deemed to be actively engaged on the date hereof in the development, production and distribution on
interactive digital media solutions, CD-ROM and DVD-ROM authoring, development of proprietary
interactive digital magazines for the entertainment, travel and automotive industries and providing
consulting services in connection therewith, and in the future in any other business in which it
actually devotes substantive resources to study, develop or pursue. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
nothing contained in this Section 5(a) shall be deemed to prohibit the Executive from (i) acquiring
or holding, solely for investment, publicly traded securities of any corporation, some or all of
the activities of which are competitive with the business of the Company so long as such securities
do not, in the aggregate, constitute more than three percent (3%) of any class or series of
outstanding securities of such corporation.

(b) During the Term and for a period of 12 months thereafter, so long as the payment enumerated
in Section 5(a), above is made, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, without the prior
written consent of the Company:

(i) solicit or induce any employee of the Company or any of its affiliates to leave the employ of
the Company or any such affiliate; or hire for any purpose any employee of the Company or any
affiliate or any employee who has left the employment of the Company or any affiliate within one
year of the termination of such employee’s employment with the Company or any such affiliate or at
any time in violation of such employee’s non-competition agreement with the Company or any such
affiliate; or

4

 

(ii) solicit or accept employment or be retained by any Person who, at any time during the term
of this Agreement, was an agent, client or customer of the Company or any of its affiliates where
his position will be related to the business of the Company or any such affiliate; or

(iii) Solicit or accept the business of any agent, client or customer of the Company or any of
its affiliates with respect to products or services similar to those provided or supplied by the
Company or any of its affiliates.

(c) The Company and the Executive each agree that both during the Term and at all times
thereafter, neither party shall directly or indirectly disparage, whether or not true, the name or
reputation of the other party or any of its affiliates, including but not limited to, any officer,
director, employee or shareholder of the Company or any of its affiliates.

(d) In the event that the Executive breaches any provisions of Section 4 or this Section 5 or
there is a threatened breach, then, in addition to any other rights which the Company may have, the
Company shall (i) be entitled, without the posting of a bond or other security, to injunctive
relief to enforce the restrictions contained in such Sections and (ii) have the right to require
the Executive to account for and pay over to the Company all compensation, profits, monies,
accruals, increments and other benefits (collectively “Benefits”) derived or received by the
Executive as a result of any transaction constituting a breach of any of the provisions of Sections
4 or 5 and the Executive hereby agrees to account for and pay over such Benefits to the Company.

(e) Each of the rights and remedies enumerated in Section 5(d) shall be independent of the others
and shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any other rights and remedies available to the
Company at law or in equity. If any of the covenants contained in this Section 5, or any part of
any of them, is hereafter construed or adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, the same shall
not affect the remainder of the covenant or covenants or rights or remedies which shall be given
full effect without regard to the invalid portions. If any of the covenants contained in this
Section 5 is held to be invalid or unenforceable because of the duration of such provision or the
area covered thereby, the parties agree that the court making such determination shall have the
power to reduce the duration and/or area of such provision and in its reduced form such provision
shall then be enforceable. No such holding of invalidity or unenforceability in one jurisdiction
shall bar or in any way affect the Company’s right to the relief provided in this Section 5 or
otherwise in the courts of any other state or jurisdiction within the geographical scope of such
covenants as to breaches of such covenants in such other respective states or jurisdictions, such
covenants being, for this purpose, severable into diverse and independent covenants.

(g) The provisions of this Section 5 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

6. Representations and Warranties by the Executive.

The Executive hereby represents and warrants to the best of his knowledge and belief to the Company
as follows:

	(a)	 	Neither the execution or delivery of this Agreement nor the performance by the Executive of
his duties and other obligations hereunder violate or will violate any statute, law,
determination or award, or conflict with or constitute a default or breach of any covenant or
obligation under (whether immediately, upon the giving of notice or lapse of time or both) any
prior employment agreement, contract, or other instrument to which the Executive is a party or
by which he is bound.

	(b)	 	The Executive has the full right, power and legal capacity to enter and deliver this
Agreement and to perform his duties and other obligations hereunder. This Agreement

approvals or consents of any persons or entities are required for the Executive to execute and
deliver this Agreement or perform his duties and other obligations hereunder.

(b) Any dispute arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement or the breach thereof, or
regarding the interpretation thereof, shall first be submitted to mediation before a mutually
agreed to neutral, with the parties bearing the cost thereof equally. If mediation fails, the
dispute shall be finally decided by binding arbitration conducted in Los Angeles County in
accordance with the Judicial Arbitration rules then in effect before a single arbitrator appointed
by mutual agreement of the parties, or if none is agreed to then each side shall nominate a retired
judge and one shall be selected by way of a coin toss or drawing out of a hat. Judgment upon any
award rendered therein may be entered and enforcement obtained thereon in any court having
jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall have authority to grant any form of appropriate relief, whether
legal or equitable in nature, including specific performance. For the purpose of any judicial
proceeding to enforce such award or incidental to such arbitration or to compel arbitration, the
parties hereby submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Superior Court of the State of
California, Los Angeles County, and agree that service of process in such arbitration or court
proceedings shall be satisfactorily made upon it if sent by certified mail return receipt requested
addressed to it at the address referred to in paragraph (g) below or such other address provided by
the parties, in writing, to the other party. The costs of such arbitration shall be borne
proportionate to the finding of fault as determined by the arbitrator. The prevailing party in any
dispute shall be entitled to recovery of its attorney’s fees and costs from the other party as part
of the award and ultimate judgment. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered by any court
of competent jurisdiction.

(c) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, and
their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns.

(d) This Agreement, and the Executive’s rights and obligations hereunder, may not be assigned by
the Executive except the Company may assign its rights, together with its obligations, hereunder in
connection with any sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of its business
or assets.

(e) This Agreement cannot be amended orally, or by any course of conduct or dealing, but only by
a written agreement signed by the parties hereto.

The failure of either party to insist upon the strict performance of any of the terms, conditions
and provisions of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of future
compliance therewith, and such terms, conditions and provisions shall remain in full force and
effect. No waiver of any term or condition of this Agreement on the part of either party shall be
effective for any purpose whatsoever unless such waiver is in writing and signed by such party.
