Jansen Petagna

Real Estate Agent

Get to Know Me

Jansen was raised in Uptown, New Orleans. A Jesuit and LSU grad, Jansen has a deep appreciation of his hometown. He prides himself on his vast knowledge of the City, unrivaled work ethic, and honest approach. 

Now in his sixth year of real estate, Petagna had a banner year in 2024 with 43 total transactions and over $21 Million in sales. Petagna was awarded with the "Rising Star Award" in the summer of 2021 from the New Orleans Metropolitan Association of REALTORS®. In his first calendar year in the real estate profession, Jansen sold over $14.5 Million of properties. In addition to the Rising Star Award, Petagna also has taken home the honor of the top producer at French Quarter Realty in 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2024.

Before joining FQR REALTORS®, Jansen worked in football for seven years. In 2018, Jansen was recognized by ESPN.com on “College Football’s 40 Under 40” list. You can expect Jansen to provide the same loyalty and attention to detail, which made him a standout in the competitive world of college football. 
What Our Clients Say

Jansen was the best realtor. He was there for us through the entire process. He worked around our crazy schedules for house showings, and would answer a call or text at any time of day for all of my questions and concerns. You will realize quickly after meeting him that he is one of the hardest working people, he loves what he’s doing, and he truly wants to help you find your dream home. I can’t recommen...

Jansen was a great agent to work with! He stuck with us until we found our perfect home. He would send us updates day or night to make sure we would be the first to see the house that fit all of our criteria. He’s a hard worker and honest agent. Highly recommend.

— Patrick W.

What Our Clients Say

Jansen went above and beyond to ensure we had a positive first home buying experience. He was incredibly hard working and guided us through every step of the process. He is an excellent communicator and made sure we always knew exactly what was going on, particularly as we were moving to New Orleans from out-of-state. We feel incredibly lucky and thankful to have found such a thoughtful and trustworthy a...

What Our Clients Say

Jansen is an excellent agent. He listened to all our requests and followed the criteria we gave to him when searching for our forever home. He didn't stop looking until we found the perfect home for us. He represented us terrifically when dealing with the other agent and we felt like he really advocated for us as buyers, which is hard to find in an agent! He went above and beyond our expectations and we ...

What Our Clients Say

The best agent we ever worked with. Very motivated. Jasen kept us informed with his marketing activities and gave us feedback on showings as well as gave us us advise on how to improve the appeal of our property. He is very professional and easy to work with. We would definitely recommend him.

— Merten S.

What Our Clients Say

Jansen is the best! We had been looking for almost a year when we met Jansen. He immediately found us our perfect first home and got the deal done in a snap! Jansen really listened to our goals and worked diligently to help us achieve them. He was an incredible advocate throughout negotiations and got us our house at a steal! We could not be happier with the end result to Jansen’s hard work!

— Buyer

What Our Clients Say

100 Stars for Jansen and French Quarter Realty! Jansen was with me every step of the way through my buying process, even during the pandemic! Jansen had only moved back home to New Orleans two years prior, but he knows his Greater New Orleans Real Estate, and will always keep you smiling or laughing. He understood exactly what I was looking for, and updated me every time a new house would come on the mar...

— Grace H.

What Our Clients Say

We had a great experience with Jansen in both selling our old home and buying our new one. He’s a great listener and is always flexible with his time and availability. He got us a great price for the sale of our house without even getting it to market, and he got us a great deal on our new home! You won’t be sorry you got him on your team!

— Eli J.

What Our Clients Say

We can’t speak any higher of Jansen! After having a terrible experience with another agent, Jansen was recommended to us by our bank. We are so grateful that he was! Jansen truly has his client’s best interest in mind. He continually goes above and beyond. He is about as easy going as it gets, but when it comes to negotiating he is stern and will stand up for you as a buyer. His negotiating skills are to...

— Kaitlynn H.

What Our Clients Say

Jansen is a top notch agent. He truly cares about his clients and advocates for them in an honest and respectful way. He helped us sell our home in uptown New Orleans and purchase our new home on the Northshore. Both transactions had their fair share of road blocks, but he helped us navigate the stressful buying and selling process in a calm and professional manner. Jansen always shows up. This sounds si...

— Megan D.

What Our Clients Say

We contacted Jansen after seeing his sign on a house that sold quickly in our neighborhood. We had just taken our home off of the market after it had been sitting with another agency with very little action. We were impressed by Jansen from the first meeting. He knew just the buyer to target with our home and sold it quickly! He kept an open line of communication, seamless negotiations, and a quick closi...

— Leslie F.

What Our Clients Say

Work with Jansen was so easy. He helps through the process to buy our new home, he always was willing to help us out with our crazy schedules. I highly recommend him as agent.

— Katherine H.

What Our Clients Say

Jansen went above and beyond to find the house of my dreams and close the deal. He was patient with my indecisiveness and listened to me as I worked through my wants and needs. When I finally decided on "the one", he made it happen. I was a first time homebuyer purchasing a 100+ year old house from an unrepresented seller- Jansen made the entire process so easy. He set up inspections, negotiated fair cre...

— Gretchen T.

What Our Clients Say

Jansen was a terrific real estate representative in our year-plus long journey to buy a home in New Orleans. He was informed and thorough, attentive and responsive and above all, patient. He was a complete pleasure to work with and helped get the negotiations for our home over the finish line. We asked a lot of questions throughout the process and he answered each one quickly, accurately and with a smile.

— Laura D.

What Our Clients Say

Jansen was great to work with and continuously went above and beyond. He showed us we were more than just clients with little acts of service I feel not all realtors do, nor would you get with all realtors - for example after we had already moved and the house was under contract a package was accidentally delivered to the house we listed and he picked it up and got it to us in our new state. Was great to...

— Molly D.

What Our Clients Say

Jansen was fantastic to work with. As a first-time home-buyer, he made the process as easy and enjoyable as possible. He was very patient with my partner and I, helping us figure out what was important to us and never pressured us while we took our time. As he got to know us better, he even recommended a neighborhood we previously weren’t considering because he thought we would like it and he was right. ...

— Buyer

What Our Clients Say

Jansen helped put things in perspective for me at several points in the buying process, most notably when choosing the house relative to others in the area, and later regarding the cost of financing of the improvements.

— Chris C.

What Our Clients Say

Jansen helped us through every step of the house-hunting process. We started with very little idea of what kind of house we wanted to buy and he helped us look through many local options within our budget that fit very specific needs we had. He was patient with us and urgent with sellers and selling agents. In only a couple months, we found a wonderful home and negotiated on the price to fit our budget. ...

— James G.

What Our Clients Say

Jansen was an indispensable help in our first time buying a home. As anyone who’s done it knows, home buying can be pretty overwhelming, but he made everything digestible. He clarified the process for us and made every step so much easier, from advising on how to make a competitive offer to advocating for us during the inspection process. Jansen was easy to work with, communicative, and always available ...
