In this special in-house edition of Pucks to Properties, the team highlights one of their own: Dante Zapata. After a successful collegiate career and a brief stint in professional hockey, Dante made the difficult decision to retire from the sport and fully transition into real estate. Recruited through a former coach, Dante moved across the country to join the team in Cheshire, CT—demonstrating the same dedication and work ethic that defined his time on the ice.

Dante shares how his hockey background helped shape his approach to real estate, from managing emotions under pressure to staying persistent through challenges. He walks through his early days of learning the business, the quick pivot from acquisitions to dispositions, and how he's grown into a key member of the team. His story offers valuable insight into the mindset, adaptability, and drive needed to succeed in real estate after sports.

This episode is a powerful look at how athletes can successfully translate their competitive edge and discipline into new careers—and how the Pucks to Properties platform is helping make that possible.
