Meet the Helfer Bliss Team: Built on Trust, Driven by Service

Sarah Helfer and April Bliss met over a decade ago at Watson Realty and quickly formed a professional bond that evolved into a powerhouse real estate team. In 2023 alone, their team produced nearly $50 million in volume—a testament to their work ethic, teamwork, and relationship-first approach.

Sarah, originally from Tampa, thrives on decisive action and making the process personal: "I brought a contractor to the listing appointment and said, 'Here’s what we can do.' We got the quote, lined up the financing, and had offers within days."

April, a Jacksonville native with a background in criminal justice, brings emotional intelligence and diligence: "I donate part of my commission to the client's charity of choice. That kind of personal connection matters."

Together, their synergy is undeniable. Sarah leans into strategy and execution; April dives deep into communication and detail. This dynamic creates a seamless experience for their clients.

Real Relationships, Real Results

"This industry isn’t about buying and selling houses—it’s about building relationships," Sarah noted. April added, "Knowing the agent on the other side of the deal makes a huge difference in negotiations."

Whether it’s making a listing shine, helping clients through financing challenges, or ensuring their offers stand out in multiple-bid situations, the Helfer Bliss Team consistently delivers. Their commitment to going above and beyond is clear in every story.

Local Experts in Every Sense

The Helfer Bliss Team knows the ins and outs of the Jacksonville market. Their work stretches across Nocatee, St. Augustine, Ponte Vedra, and the Jax Beaches. They understand builder processes, neighborhood trends, and how to navigate high-interest-rate environments with ease.

Their move from Watson to forming their own brand was about more than independence. It was about growth. Today, under Herron Real Estate, they continue to set a standard for collaborative, ethical, client-focused service.

Three Real Stories of Exceptional Service

  2. Charity-Driven Client Care: April regularly donates part of her commission to a charity chosen by her clients, personalizing the experience and building lasting connections.

  3. Tactical Teamwork in Tough Markets: During multiple-offer scenarios, their reputation and relationships with other agents help win deals. "You need to know who’s on the other side," April stressed. "It protects your client."
