Testimonials

She made the experience more enjoyable. Jennifer and I had met each other from living in the same community and we had gotten to know each other in a friendly manner. I own multiple properties and have gone through many closings; this one was by far the best experience. Jen communicated well during the whole process and was extremely punctual. She made the experience more enjoyable with her friendly demeanor and amazing sense of humor. Her punctuality helped to close in 25 days! If you’re looking to buy or sell, I recommend getting in contact with Jennifer Schipper.

Very responsive and highly dependable! Jen is a great realtor. She knows the Tampa area very well! My wife and I chose Jen as our realtor and we were moving from NJ and helped us a lot when it came to setting up different appointments remotely for the house to make sure everything was good to go once we moved in. She is very responsive and highly dependable

Amir N.

She is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I felt like I was a VIP. There was no question unanswered. She was with us until the very LAST moment of our closing. She is the BEST realtor ever!
