WHO WE ARE
Your Local South Tampa Home Builder with a Legacy of Excellence
At Bay Life Homes, we believe building luxury homes is about more than materials—it’s about vision, trust, and community. As a leading South Tampa home builder, we bring over 25 years of local industry experience to every project. Founded and operated by lifelong Tampa residents, our mission is to craft homes that reflect the lifestyle, architecture, and values of the neighborhoods we live in and love.
Locally Built. Locally Trusted.
Unlike large, national builders, Bay Life Homes is deeply rooted in South Tampa. Our founders, BJ Jabbari and Chris Willingham, have been working in the Tampa Bay construction and real estate markets for decades. With a hands-on approach and an eye for detail, they lead a team committed to quality, longevity, and design excellence.
Because we live where we build, we understand the land, the people, and the standards required to deliver homes that are both architecturally distinctive and structurally sound. We don’t just build houses—we build for our neighbors.
A Different Kind of Luxury Home Builder in South Tampa
We take on only a limited number of projects each year so we can focus entirely on quality—not quantity. This allows us to oversee every phase of construction, from land acquisition to the final walkthrough. The result? Original, move-in-ready homes that stand out in a city full of repetition.
- No cookie-cutter designs—Every home is unique
- Smart home technology—Full automation of lighting, climate, security, and entertainment
- Custom details throughout—High-end appliances, custom cabinetry, and designer finishes
- Durability built in—Block and steel construction, impact windows, and Florida-proof materials
Our reputation as a luxury home builder in South Tampa is built on transparency, craftsmanship, and client care. Whether you’re buying your first Florida home or upgrading your lifestyle, we’re here to help you invest in a property that lasts.
Relationships Matter
We believe people build better when they build together. That’s why we’ve cultivated long-standing relationships with local contractors, craftsmen, architects, and suppliers. These partnerships help us access top-quality materials and deliver superior workmanship—while also supporting jobs and small businesses in the Tampa Bay area.
Customer First, Always
At Bay Life Homes, our customers are at the center of every decision. Our in-house realtor, Joanna Lynn Jabbari, is part of the team from day one. She ensures a seamless, personalized buying experience—from understanding market values to navigating the closing table with confidence.
When you buy from Bay Life Homes, you’re not just purchasing a house—you’re stepping into a lifestyle of modern comfort and long-term value.
