Your address
Start with the property address and the nearest town. Janet pulls the tax record, lot size and sale history from that alone, so the rest of the form is short.

What is your home worth?
Three quick steps and Janet prepares a comparative market analysis from actual closed sales near you. Not an algorithm, not a listing pitch. Homes, lake property and land across West Central Minnesota.

Two minutes, then Janet takes over
How the three steps work
About the property
A few details that move value more than anything else. Estimate where you are not sure; Janet confirms during the walkthrough.
Where to send it
Janet delivers the analysis personally, by phone or in person, because a number without the reasoning behind it is not much use. Name and phone are required; email is optional.
What the CMA includes
- Three to six closed comparable sales from the last six to twelve months, in your town or on your lake, with photos and sold prices.
- Line-item adjustments for the differences between those homes and yours: finished basement, garage size, lot, frontage, condition.
- Active competition. What is currently listed near you and at what price, so you can see where a buyer would compare.
- A pricing range and a recommendation for listing, with an explanation of what the top and bottom of the range assume.
- Time-to-sell context. How long the comparable homes took to sell, from current local sales data, and how your home's segment differs.
Selling a lake home, land or an estate?
Lakeshore, acreage and estate properties need comparables of the same kind; a lake home should be compared with lake homes on similar water, not the nearest house in town. Janet notes the property type in step 2 and pulls accordingly. See the selling a lake home guide, the land and lots guide and the downsizing guide.
Why not just use a Zestimate?
Zillow reports a nationwide median error rate of about 1.9% for homes already on the market and roughly 7% for homes that are not listed (Zillow Zestimate accuracy). On a $400,000 home, 7% is $28,000 in either direction, and in a rural lake market with fewer sales and more variety between properties, the error is often larger.
An automated model cannot see your new roof, the water view, the shoreline type, the shop building, or that the comparable sale it picked was a foreclosure. Janet can, because she works as a full-time broker in this area and looks at the comparables herself. Read more in the pricing your home guide and the sell page.
Reviews
What sellers say
I have purchased 2 homes and sold one through Janet at Home Match Realty. Even with hiccups and frustrations, Janet was always there with professional advice. I'd definitely recommend Home Match Realty for either your buying or selling needs. Janet and her team definitely match hearts to homes.
When my husband and I started looking for our forever home, Janet was there to help us with our journey. From our first meeting, Janet made us feel so comfortable and was not pushy. Janet gave us her honest opinion about things and was helpful pointing out imperfections. Janet was so patient with us and made herself available every moment we called on her, even when it was last minute.

Janet always made us feel like we were most important to her. Even when I was feeling hopeless, Janet remained positive reminding me our perfect home was out there. We also had a house to sell. Janet went above and beyond making sure our house was show ready. Janet worked hard at marketing our house and made personal phone calls to other realtors to get the word out. In the end, we found our forever home, sold our house and Janet was with us every step of the way.
Janet's professionalism, honestly, and hard work ethic were evident in the listing she created, the advertising pushes she made, and the showings she gave. Janet made the process incredibly easy and took extra steps like giving staging tips, finding unique ways of advertising (using social media, paired open houses, etc.), and using food to give the home a welcoming feel during open houses.

She took the anxiety out of the negotiation process for me, responded quickly to my calls, and was patient with my many questions. I was always confident that Janet was looking out for my best interest. I highly recommend her as an agent!
