Meet Orlando Realtor® Jennifer Rigsby
When you meet Jennifer Rigsby, you’ll quickly understand why clients call her more than just their Realtor®; they call her a friend for life. Jennifer, often known as “Rigsby,” has been with Wemert Group Realty for over 12 years and is a trusted guide for anyone considering moving to Orlando. Her mix of professional expertise, deep community roots, and lively personality makes her an essential part of both the Wemert team and the Central Florida community she proudly calls home.
Jennifer Rigsby’s Path to Becoming an Orlando Realtor®
Jennifer’s real estate journey started unexpectedly. After reconnecting with a high school friend on Facebook who worked at Wemert, Jennifer joined the team in 2013 in an administrative role. From running files to managing paperwork, she learned the business from the ground up.
That foundation became her secret strength. “I kind of learned from the very basics all the way up,” Jennifer shares. “It gave me a huge advantage to understand every step of the process.”
Before long, she transitioned into sales and has never looked back. Today, she’s a Realtor® known for her patience, her ability to explain complex steps in simple terms, and her commitment to making every transaction as stress-free as possible.
Orlando Lifestyle: How Jennifer Rigsby Enjoys Living in Central Florida
Being a Central Florida native, Jennifer Rigsby has Orlando in her DNA. She grew up in the Apopka area and now calls the Mills 50/Milk District neighborhood home, where she lives with her two Aussiedoodles – Blueberry and Huckleberry, affectionately known as “the Berries.”
For Jennifer, the Orlando lifestyle is about variety. “I’m a foodie,” she laughs, “so I love eating and drinking my way across the city.” Whether it’s finding a hole-in-the-wall sushi spot, catching a local art show in Winter Park, or people-watching at a Mount Dora craft fair, she embraces everything Central Florida has to offer.
When she isn’t working, you might find her curled up on the couch with the Berries, enjoying good conversation with friends, or supporting Team Gina, a local breast cancer foundation close to her heart. She also loves attending art shows, watching NASCAR, and traveling. Italy’s Amalfi Coast has been her favorite trip so far, though Greece is high on her dream list.
Jennifer Rigsby’s Favorite Orlando Restaurants and Local Spots
Ask Jennifer for restaurant recommendations, and you’ll never get a one-word answer, because she has too many favorites. Living near some of Orlando’s best restaurants gives her endless options:
- Girls’ Night Out → Santiago’s Bodega or Bar Italia, two vibrant spots she and her friends love.
- Date Night → A rotation of new restaurants, but Hawkers Asian Street Fare is always a favorite.
- Hidden Gem → WA Sushi in Casselberry, a little hole-in-the-wall that Jennifer swears has the best sushi around.
Jennifer’s tastes are just as eclectic when it comes to comfort food, she’ll happily admit she’s a veggie pizza lover, especially a white pizza topped with broccoli.
Why Clients Love Working with Jennifer Rigsby
Clients love working with Jennifer Rigsby because she combines her local knowledge with her personal touch. She has a soft spot for first-time homebuyers, taking them step by step through the process and making sure no one ever feels overwhelmed.
“I want my clients to walk away from closing feeling good… not like they got run over by a truck,” Jennifer says with a laugh.
Her transparency is another hallmark. If something feels off, she’ll be the first to say so. “I go into real estate thinking, ‘How would I want to be treated?’ That’s how I treat my clients.”
The result? Lifelong relationships and countless referrals, because when you work with Jennifer, you’re never just a transaction.
Fun Facts and Stories That Make Jennifer Rigsby Unique
Jennifer is never short on stories. Many of them involve her knack for turning awkward moments into laughter. She admits she’s known for “falling at the most inconvenient times,” including one memorable day when she met new clients, immediately tripped, and ended up with a bloody knee. The family ran around gathering first aid supplies, patched her up, and by the end of the day, they still closed on a house together.
“I like to embrace the weird things that happen,” she says. “They make for great stories later!”
Beyond her comic timing, Jennifer treasures her memories with the Wemert team. From casino-themed galas to lazy days on Archive Island, she loves the camaraderie. When she first started, there were only seven team members—now, it’s grown into what she calls a “small army” of support.
Her rapid-fire favorites give even more insight into her personality: coral is her favorite color, Taylor Swift tops her playlist (“I’m a Swifte all day, every day”), and she can’t resist an oat milk lavender latte—though come fall, she fully embraces pumpkin spice season.
She describes herself as neither a morning person nor a night owl, but an “afternoon girl.” Or as she and her grandmother like to call it, she enjoys a good bit of “loafing,” which for Jennifer means spending unhurried time with people she loves.
