Meet Jen Schipper
For Jen Schipper, Harbour Island is more than just a neighborhood where she works, it is a community she has come to know and love over many years.
She lived on Harbour Island for nearly 15 years, developing a deep understanding of the lifestyle that draws people here, including walkability to downtown Tampa, waterfront views and the community's distinctive character.
That perspective allows her to help buyers see not just the home, but the lifestyle that comes with living on Harbour Island.
Jen works with buyers and sellers throughout Tampa Bay, giving her insight into broader buyer trends and access to a wider network of potential buyers.
Combined with her P.R.I.C.E. strategy and her reach through Keller Williams Luxury, Jen brings together Harbour Island knowledge, modern marketing and thoughtful guidance to help her clients achieve exceptional results.
Most importantly, she works to make the process smooth, organized and stress-free so you can focus on what comes next.
The average days on market for Harbour Island has shifted to approximately 86 days. This reflects the broader trend across South Tampa and Downtown, where increased inventory has given buyers more time to compare options. However, these averages don't tell the whole story. While many listings sit for months, my latest Harbour Island listing at secured a contract in just 7 days. This shows that even in a balanced market, the right strategy can still produce an immediate result.
While it is not a requirement, statistics from the National Association of Realtors show that staging a home can increase the sale price by up to 10 percent. In a competitive market, a home needs to show its best online to capture a buyer's attention in those first few seconds. Staging showcases the home's potential and flow, helping buyers visualize themselves living there, which often leads to higher offers and a faster sale.
Yes, and we have two distinct approaches to handle this. For homes that are empty, we use Vacant Staging to define the space and lifestyle. If you are still living in the home, we use Occupied Styling. This is a specialized process where we work with your existing furniture to elevate the home's presentation for photography and video while ensuring the space remains functional for your daily life. This allows us to maintain a high-end look without requiring you to move out before the sale.
My P.R.I.C.E. strategy is a modern approach designed specifically for how buyers find homes today. Rather than waiting for buyers to find us, we proactively put your home in front of them using a professional marketing launch. This includes high-impact cinematic video and targeted digital campaigns that reach qualified relocation and local buyers across South Tampa and the Downtown corridor. By creating a custom landing page for your property, we ensure your home is positioned as a standout lifestyle choice from the moment it hits the market.
