For Janet Ridgway, real estate isn’t just about buying and selling properties; it’s about helping others find the place where they can truly feel at home. With deep roots in San Angelo, Texas, and a passion for building meaningful connections, Janet has spent her career creating positive experiences for her clients.
Janet’s journey to real estate began during her time as a small business owner. For years, she and her husband, Tom, operated their family’s flower shop—a beloved, multi-generational institution. Holidays meant long hours and tight deadlines, but the work taught her the value of dedication, community, and resilience. Even as she balanced roles as a stockbroker and stay-at-home mom, Janet’s entrepreneurial spirit led her to real estate investing. Her goal was simple yet powerful: to fund her three daughters’ college educations without debt. Through flipping homes, she achieved that dream.
When the housing market crash of 2008 disrupted her real estate ventures, Janet pivoted with grace. She sold the flower shop and dedicated several years to working with a local nonprofit supporting individuals with intellectual disabilities. This transformative experience deepened her perspective on life—showing her the profound joy and dignity that come from embracing each person’s intrinsic worth. Inspired, Janet returned to real estate, this time as a REALTOR®, with a renewed purpose: to treat everyone she meets with respect and compassion.
Today, Janet combines her business acumen, community connections, and heartfelt approach to guide her clients through the often emotional process of buying or selling a home. Her philosophy is rooted in one simple question: “Which home do you want to return to after a long day at work?” Janet is committed to piecing together every detail of the puzzle to help her clients find their perfect home—a place where they can be their authentic selves.
As a lifelong San Angelo resident, Janet prides herself on her reputation for integrity and reliability. She and her team bring a collaborative approach to real estate, ensuring each client receives personalized attention and specialized expertise. Whether working with first-time buyers, seasoned investors, or families navigating transitions, Janet is there every step of the way—answering calls, providing support, and celebrating successes.
When she’s not helping clients, Janet cherishes time with her family, especially her youngest daughter, Madeline, who serves as her business manager. She also enjoys painting, traveling, and embracing life’s simple joys. For Janet, the best reward of her work is celebrating alongside her clients at closing, knowing she’s helped them take an important step toward their future.
“A home isn’t just four walls and a roof; it’s where life happens. As your REALTOR®, my goal is to make sure you find the place that feels like home to you.”
