Hector Zapata

Welcome to Your South Florida Real Estate Advantage

Hector was born in Colombia and has called South Florida home for 24 years.

I'm Hector Zapata, a South Florida-based real estate advisor specializing in luxury, golf community homes, new and pre-construction developments, and transitional real estate services for sellers and buyers navigating significant life changes.

My journey into real estate is anything but ordinary. As a former professional golfer who competed in the 2006 Ford Championship PGA Tournament at Doral alongside icons like Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson, I bring a unique perspective on discipline, patience, and precision. Golf has taught me humility, courage, and the value of community, principles I apply to every client relationship.

Before real estate, I trained and worked as an Industrial Engineer. This background empowers me to approach each transaction strategically and systematically, ensuring every process step is smooth, efficient, and client-focused. Past clients often describe me as deeply committed, knowledgeable, and reliable, known for my white-glove service and negotiation skills.

Whether you're:

• A luxury homeowner looking to sell with maximum return,

• An international buyer or investor exploring South Florida's vibrant opportunities,

• A family relocating for a new chapter,

• Or navigating the emotional journey of divorce or transition...

...I offer a level of service that goes beyond real estate. I serve as your trusted advocate, confidant, and expert guide.

My Core Values

Honesty. Courage. Precision. Respect. Discipline. These values define how I work, how I treat others, and how I achieve results.

Giving Back

Even though I no longer compete professionally, I continue to share my passion for golf by volunteering with The First Tee program, where I teach Veterans and children the values and joy of the game.
