Industry veteran brings decades of local real estate experience to growing team
The Keyes Company bolstered its team in Wellington with the addition of Jennifer Schillace, a top producer in the Palm Beach market, as the District Sales Manager. She will oversee the office located at 13920 Wellington Trace and its team of 80+ Realtors.
Schillace brings a wealth of local knowledge to the firm, with 22 years of experience as a Realtor in the area. Most recently, she was affiliated with BEX Realty in Boca Raton. Before that, she spent 14 years working as a Realtor for Coldwell Banker’s Residential Real Estate Division, where she cultivated relationships with many Keyes employees. Adding to her illustrious career, she also spent about three years with Keller Williams in their Wellington office.
“Jennifer embodies what Keyes is about due to her knowledge, expertise and care and is a welcome addition to the team in Wellington,” Keyes CEO Mike Pappas said. “She not only brings her ability to connect with customers, but a deep understanding of the Palm Beach market.”
Schillace’s responsibilities will include managing the Keyes Wellington team and growing market share through recruiting of professional Realtors and supporting established Realtors in the office. She will seek to provide continued education on market and industry trends, tools, technology and professional development.
“For decades, I’ve seen and admired what Keyes has produced as a firm,” Schillace said. “Its reputation in the Palm Beaches and beyond is unmatched when it comes to client service and the resources made available to their employees. I am thrilled to have a chance to be part of it.”
