Meet Janell

Janell Peterson | REALTOR®

Listing Agent + Buyer’s Agent | San Antonio, New Braunfels & Central Texas Real Estate

I’m Janell Peterson, a REALTOR® with Zest Realty serving buyers and sellers throughout San Antonio, New Braunfels and Central and South Central Texas, including Bulverde, Boerne, Canyon Lake, Seguin, Schertz, Cibolo and surrounding communities.

With more than 11 years of real estate experience, I’ve built my business around something pretty simple: personal attention, honest communication and being there when my clients need me.

And if there’s one thing people tend to notice when they meet me, it’s my energy. I’m a bit of a dynamo by nature—enthusiastic, optimistic and always quick to jump in and get to work. In real estate, where opportunities can appear quickly and problems sometimes need immediate solutions, I believe responsiveness matters.

To me, real estate is personal, and the service you receive should be too.

Whether you’re selling a home, buying your first home, purchasing new construction, relocating to the San Antonio area, investing in real estate or simply trying to figure out your next move, my job is to help you understand your options and feel confident in the decisions you’re making.

As both an experienced Listing Agent and Buyer’s Agent, I understand a real estate transaction from both sides of the table. I bring strong negotiation skills, thoughtful property marketing, local market knowledge and years of experience navigating the details that can make a very real difference—from preparing a home for the market to negotiating an offer and getting a transaction successfully to closing.

But just as important to me is how my clients are treated.

When you work with me, you work with me.

I believe in being accessible, communicating throughout the process, answering the questions that inevitably come up and giving every client the same level of attention I would want someone to give my own family.

I especially enjoy helping clients with residential home sales, home purchases, new construction and relocation and navigating those big “What do we do next?” moments in life. Whether you’re moving across San Antonio, relocating to Texas from another state, looking for a home in the Texas Hill Country or simply ready for a change, I want the process to feel informed, organized and personal from beginning to end.

Beyond real estate, I’m a proud Hispanic woman, wife to a San Antonio firefighter, mom of eight, dog lover, Mexican food enthusiast, sports fanatic and eternal optimist. I’m also a proud supporter of our military and first responder communities. Family, service, relationships and treating people well mean a great deal to me—and those values naturally carry into the way I run my real estate business.

Some of the greatest compliments I’ve received throughout my career aren’t awards or numbers. They’re the clients who come back years later, refer their friends and family to me or simply stay in touch long after closing.

That’s the kind of real estate business I’m proud to continue building.

Buying. Selling. Building. Relocating.

Whatever your next chapter looks like, I’d love the opportunity to help you get there.
