About Jose

Since 2009, Jose Zapata has been dedicated to serving his clients with integrity, transparency, and a genuine passion for real estate. His journey began in Kissimmee, Florida, as an office assistant at a small brokerage where he witnessed firsthand the frustration of clients who felt misled and underserved. That early experience inspired Jose not only to get licensed, but to build a career rooted in doing real estate the right way—with honesty, advocacy, and a client-first mindset.  Before becoming a licensed Realtor, Jose flipped homes and renovated foreclosed properties—an experience that gave him a sharp eye for value and a deep understanding of the real estate process from the inside out. That renovation background continues to serve his clients today, especially when helping sellers prepare their homes or guiding investors toward smart, strategic purchases.  Jose spent the first eight years of his career with Keller Williams Realty, where he quickly rose through the ranks as a top-producing agent and became a certified Productivity Coach, mentoring new agents entering the business. His results and leadership earned him a place in the top 20% of his office—and in 2018, a position in the Top 5 across the entire North Florida Region.  In 2020, Jose joined Olympus Executive Realty, where he continues to thrive among some of the top agents in the industry. He remains in the top 20% of the office and has built a team focused on helping move-up buyers, sellers, and investors across Lake, Orange, Polk, and Osceola county. His multilingual team speaks English, Spanish, and Portuguese, allowing them to serve a diverse range of clients with ease and cultural fluency.  Jose is often described by clients as knowledgeable, honest, hard worker, a great negotiator, and an excellent communicator—qualities that have fueled his steady stream of referrals and repeat business year after year.  When asked about his philosophy, Jose says: “This business is personal to me. I got into real estate because I saw firsthand how unethical representation can harm clients. My mission is to provide the integrity and advocacy they deserve.”  Jose’s mission is simple: Help clients sell for the highest possible price Maximize equity and long-term financial gains Deliver a premium, professional experience that sets a new standard in the market  With over a decade of experience, a strong referral-based business, and a commitment to exceptional service, Jose Zapata continues to raise the bar for what clients should expect from a Real Estate professional.
