As a golf enthusiast and connoisseur of real estate properties in Florida, I'm always on the lookout for locations that offer an exceptional living experience. And let me tell you, Crandon Golf Course in Key Biscayne is one of those places that truly has it all.

Located on a paradise island just minutes from the vibrant city of Miami, Crandon Golf Course offers a tranquil escape with breathtaking ocean views, lush tropical greenery, and of course, a world-class golf course.

Membership and golf course access:

One of the first questions potential buyers ask me is about golf club membership. At Crandon Golf Course, membership is optional, providing flexibility for residents. There are different types of memberships, including full golf, social, and tennis, to suit individual needs and preferences. Access to the course is generally excellent, with few restrictions on tee times, and the course is open year-round. While some special tournaments are held, these don't typically limit resident access to the course significantly.

Homeowners Association (HOA) fees and community rules:

The HOA fees at Crandon Golf Course are competitive and cover a wide range of services, including maintenance of common areas, 24-hour security, and access to the community's amenities. There are some restrictions on property modifications and landscaping to maintain the aesthetics and value of the community.

Amenities beyond golf:

Crandon Golf Course is much more than just a golf course. It offers an array of luxury amenities for its residents, such as tennis courts, swimming pools, a state-of-the-art gym, and top-notch dining options. Social events and activities are also organized for non-golfers or family members, fostering a true sense of community.

Location and nearby attractions:

The location of Crandon Golf Course is unbeatable. It's a short distance from airports, white-sand beaches, and downtown Miami, with its vibrant shopping, dining, and entertainment options. The overall atmosphere of the community is relaxed and sophisticated, ideal for those seeking a tranquil lifestyle with easy access to the excitement of the city.

Real estate investment in Crandon Golf Course:

Acquiring a real estate property at Crandon Golf Course is an excellent real estate investment. You are not only investing in a luxurious lifestyle but also in an exclusive community with high appreciation potential.

Additional considerations:

If you're considering buying a real estate property at Crandon Golf Course, I recommend working with an experienced real estate agent who knows the area well and can guide you through the process.

In the event that the purchase of the real estate property is related to a divorce or the sale of a house that is marital property, it is essential to have proper legal advice to understand Florida's divorce laws and how they may affect the division of assets, taxes, and credit.

A real estate agent with experience in negotiation and knowledge of divorce laws can be an invaluable resource during this process, providing not only support in the real estate transaction but also emotional support during a difficult time such as a move due to a divorce.

In summary, Crandon Golf Course in Key Biscayne offers a unique combination of luxury, tranquility, and convenience. If you're looking for a real estate investment in a golfer's paradise, this is the place to be.

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.
