Jana grew up in Port Arthur, Texas, the hometown of Janis Joplin. Her parents found their dream home but it wasn't in the perfect spot. So they had the entire house picked up and moved to another lot in the neighborhood. This experience left a lasting impression on Jana and created a deep appreciation for the importance of home - both as a place and a concept. She wants to help others find the perfect home, a refuge from the daily grind, a place to re-energize and spend quality time with family and friends. And this desire drew her to the real estate profession after a long and fruitful career in advertising. Over the past 30 years, Jana worked for some of the biggest advertising agencies and was responsible for facilitating and producing high-profile projects for brands. The skills that helped her in her advertising career were put into action in residential real estate. She earned a reputation as a reliable, organized, detail-oriented, go-to person as well as an effective problem-solver. And she is comfortable navigating complex deals with high stakes and tight deadlines. Having lived in the city for three decades now, Jana has become a savvy, streetwise New Yorker but has managed to retain the charm and kindness of her Texan roots. These characteristics have earned her praise and respect throughout her career, helping her build meaningful, long-lasting relationships. Jana has lived in Manhattan, Brooklyn, The Bronx and Queens, so she is comfortable working with clients wherever the need arises. With her passion, tireless work ethic, and ability to consistently close the deal to everyone's satisfaction, she looks forward to bringing together buyers and sellers to help others find that perfect home. Jana lives in Park Slope with her partner, their two kids, a cat and a dog. Everybody on their block knows her because she believes in the power of community and has been very active in it. She also owns a home upstate that she renovated with love, and operates an Airbnb as well. In between deals, Jana enjoys making home repairs, videography, editing, hiking, cycling and motorcycling.
