Jennifer Peiffer of CENTURY 21 Market Professionals

Personal Profile

At age 7, Jennifer Peiffer won her first crown in a Maryland pageant; three weeks later she broke both her arms while playing on a set of monkey bars. Jenn is familiar with ups and downs.

In 2007 she joined Century 21 Market Professionals as a buyers' specialist, understanding that purchasing a home can be a roller coaster of highs and lows. Jenn enjoys smoothing out the bumps in the process by understanding the market and its idiosyncrasies.

"I have worked exclusively with buyers my entire career," Jenn says. "I pride myself in staying up to date with first time buyer loan and grant programs, and constantly educate myself on the differing loan options that become available, and how some of the current programs change from year to year."

Jenn is no stranger to markets, but the first one she participated in was a farmers' market in Baltimore, helping her family sell produce raised on their 110-acre farm in Baltimore County. As a child, when she wasn't busy breaking her arms, she was working in the fields and then, May through December, at the markets where she left behind picking and weeding for measuring and counting. The math seemed to her to be a better career option.

Still, when she enrolled in Wilson College in Chambersburg, Pa., she hedged her bets, majoring in both mathematics and biology - as if one murderously difficult course of study wasn't enough. Biology prevailed for a while because after graduation in 2005, Jenn became a pharmaceutical rep, making the rounds with physicians in Maryland and West Virginia.

But it was the math side of her that pulled ahead two years later, when she joined the world of real estate with its formulae, numbers and percentages. At Century 21 she has won multiple Pinnacle Quality Service Awards which, sadly, do not come with a crown and scepter, although that might not be a bad idea.

So on the side, Jenn maintains her connection to the princess world by serving on the board of directors for the Miss Washington County/Miss Western Maryland Scholarship foundation. She became the executive director in 2011, and has had one contestant go on to win Miss Maryland and two teens go on to win Miss Maryland's Outstanding Teen.

From the magic and glamour of the runway, it is a small leap to the world of Disneyland, where Jenn designs custom Mickey Mouse ears and hats for her fellow Disney lovers through The Fairytale Hatter, which she founded in 2017.

If a former farm girl can make peace with rodents, it is sure that she can find just the right castle for those shopping for a new home.
