Jasper
A native New Yorker, Jasper Champagne is the embodiment of the diverse cultural mecca that is New York City. As a first-generation Dominican American, he navigated a bicultural and bilingual landscape, speaking only Spanish until the age of 8. Despite the challenge of learning English in his later childhood years, he thrived academically at esteemed institutions such as Christ the King and All Hallows High School. Jasper’s outgoing, gregarious nature eventually led him to the New York Film Academy, where he studied acting, production, and improvisation. Afterward, he became a member of SAG/AFTRA and pursued opportunities in film, television, theater, and the comedy stage.
In addition to his artistic endeavors, Jasper worked as a real estate assistant, serving as a trusted point of contact for attorneys and lenders, as well as handling all other back-end operations such as scheduling showings, inspections, and photo/video shoots. While he leaned heavily on his innate ability to connect with people, he also realized that his efforts were making a positive impact in his community by helping people achieve their goal of home ownership. With that, Jasper obtained his real estate license in 2018 and took a giant leap forward into a new and exciting career.
Over the past seven years, Jasper amassed an impressive and diverse client list throughout the greater New York area at agencies such as eXp Realty Luxury, RE/MAX, and Houlihan Lawrence. His clientele includes doctors, attorneys, hedge fund managers, influencers, and entertainers. Whether it’s an apartment in Brooklyn, a house in the suburbs of Westchester, or a loft in the competitive Manhattan luxury market, Jasper’s approach to his clients is the same – he understands his client’s needs, communicates clearly, maintains transparency, utilizes the latest technology, and infuses the experience with humor, levity, and even joy. In essence, he hopes that his charismatic, yet down-to-earth personality can redefine the real estate process for all his buyers, renters, and sellers.
Recently, Jasper’s dedication to his profession has been recognized locally, regionally, and nationally. In 2024 he received the EXP Icon Award, becoming one of the youngest solo agents in NY to do so, and was a finalist in the National Association of Realtors 30 under 30. In 2023, he received the Rising Star Award (Five Star Professional), the Top Northeast Regional Latino Award (NAHREP), was named on the Top Producers List for AREAA, and was featured in multiple publications. While real estate is a professional venture for Jasper, it is also a personal interest. An investor himself in New York City real estate, Jasper believes in the strength of the New York City market and encourages others to build wealth through homeownership.
When not engaged in real estate transactions, Jasper honors his acting roots by keeping up on new films, television shows, and stand-up comics, and even engages in occasional voice-over work. He loves exploring the food and cocktail scene in New York and is always eager to try new dishes and concoctions. His passion for travel has brought him to many destinations around the globe, and he would love to one day say that he has set foot on all seven continents. After each new journey, he knows that Lana and Mallory, his beloved cats, will be ready to welcome him home.
