Jana Stidman

There are real estate agents who help clients buy and sell homes, and there are advisors who understand what a home really represents to the people living in it. Jana Stidman works firmly in the second category.

There are real estate agents who help clients buy and sell homes, and there are advisors who understand what a home really represents to the people living in it. Jana Stidman works firmly in the second category. Her clients are often relocating, recalibrating, or making an exciting lifestyle move, and they come to her because she treats those decisions with the weight they deserve.

As a global real estate advisor with Briggs Freeman Sotheby's International Realty, Jana works with clients seeking homes at all price points throughout Fort Worth's most sought-after communities and the broader DFW Metroplex. Licensed in Texas since 2017, she specializes in the properties and neighborhoods that define West Fort Worth's luxury lifestyle — La Cantera at Team Ranch, Montserrat, Montrachet, Mira Vista, Bella Crossing and Rancho Ladera just to name a few.

Her clients are typically making lifestyle decisions as much as real estate decisions. Many are drawn to Fort Worth's gated and guard-gated communities, golf course living, and the ease and privacy that come with them. They are relocating to be closer to family, simplifying after a career, or stepping into a phase of life that allows them to prioritize how they want to live. Jana understands that nuance. She doesn't show inventory; she listens first, then connects people to the specific places that fit the life they're building. Jana knows the builders, the history of each neighborhood, and the block-by-block details that come from years of deep market immersion.

Before Jana listed her first home, she spent two decades building brands. As a strategist in advertising and media planning, she developed marketing plans for major corporate clients, in the process learning how to make the right people pay attention to the right things at exactly the right moment. When she moved into real estate, she brought that discipline with her.

Clients consistently describe Jana as a skilled and committed negotiator who goes well beyond what the transaction requires. She coordinates vendors, manages the moving parts, and stays in her clients’ corners long after the paperwork is signed.
With over $52 million in sales volume, Jana’s outstanding results are recognized and verified by Real Trends, where she ranks in the top 1.5% of agents in America. She also earns Top Producer recognition from 360West and Fort Worth Magazine and is consistently named a Top Producer for Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty where she has been recognized with the brokerage’s Award of Excellence and is a member of its prestigious Club 1744.

Jana is conversational in Spanish, which extends her reach in an increasingly diverse luxury market where she applies the same precision to presenting a listing that she once applied to launching a brand. She understands that getting an estate home in front of the right audience requires strategy, not just exposure.

Jana is an active member of the National Association of Realtors, the Texas Association of Realtors, and the Greater Fort Worth Association of Realtors, as well as the Daughters of the American Revolution Fort Worth Chapter. She is a vocal advocate for animal rescue, supports multiple organizations through fundraising and social media campaigns, and donates a portion of every home transaction to animal rescue initiatives.

She is also a wife, a proud mother of her rescue dogs, and someone who will, given the opportunity, talk to you about fitness, genealogy, a good book, or all three. Jana holds Bachelor's and Master's degrees from Augusta State University and a Paralegal Certificate from Southern Methodist University. If you are considering buying or selling a home in Fort Worth or the surrounding DFW area, Jana would welcome a conversation.
