Current and Past Clubs

---

 I am pleased to to write on behalf of Stephen Jara who worked at The Bear's Club from 2001 until 2005.  The Bear's Club is a private club in Jupiter, FL, which consists of a 400 acre golf club, 60 estate homes, 17 Golf Villas and 13 Club Cottages.  Steve was the Director of Services for the POA and Director of Real Estate Sales and Marketing for our Private Club.  His responsibilities also included the design and implementation of community estate management and implementation of our concierge service program.  Steve also assisted during the development of plans, permitting and other aspects related to the completion of the club. Steve has an excellent background and years of experience.  He did a fine job for us at The Bear's Club, and is a responsible, detailed-oriented professional who handles himself well.  I am happy to recommend him and I believe he would be a great asset to any organization that can utilize his talents.

 “We partnered with Private Club Realty Group in 2021 to study our real estate services and build out an in-house program at Wycliffe.  Steve Jara was crucial to the process with developing a proper business pro-forma integrating his 30+ years of industry knowledge and network.  He helped us recruit a qualified broker to spearhead our efforts here and revolutionize the service model at our club.  I would recommend Steve to anyone looking to streamline their real estate operations and take service to the next level.” 

Steve Jara and his team at Private Club Realty Group are second to none when it comes to understanding the complexities of having an on-site real estate office. The required coordination between the Real Estate professionals and Membership and marketing team has to be seamlessly integrated with each other. In addition, there must always be an intrinsic trust with the Members that the in-house team always has a better focus on that individual community than an outside sales agent. Finally, it is critical that an in-house operation maintain close ties to the outside agents as well to ensure that the Private Club community is marketed to the fullest extent possible. The end result equals reduced available listings, shorter days on the market and the best possible sales price to listing price possible for your owners. Steve and his team are uniquely positioned to assist from startups to take overs and I highly recommend an initial “tell us how we can do this” call.

I have had the pleasure of working alongside Steve Jara on many occasions over the last twenty-four years! Steve brings an unparalleled combination of the real estate industry and private club experience with a particular expertise in the South Florida real estate market. I have found Steve to be solutions-oriented, informed and able to provide effective options where technology is needed.  His genuine and engaging approach to business encourages a collaborative environment that allows for everyone to partner in the success! South Florida is arguably the most competitive private club market in the U.S. and as such, experience matters!
