FAQ
Questions about Ashby
Can Janet show homes listed by other brokerages in Ashby?
Yes, as a NorthstarMLS member she can show and write offers on any listing in the MLS, not only her own. You work with one broker and still see everything that is for sale.
What is the first step to selling in Ashby?
Call Janet before you spend money on updates. She will tell you what Ashby buyers pay for, what to leave alone, and what the home would list for today.

What is winter access like for rural homes near Ashby?
Plowing around Ashby depends on who owns the road, so it is worth asking before you buy. County and township crews handle public roads, and a private or association road is up to the owners along it.
