FAQ

Questions about Elizabeth

What is winter access like for rural homes near Elizabeth?

City streets and county roads are plowed by the city and the county. Township roads are plowed by the township, and private drives and some lake roads fall to the owner or an association. Janet asks who plows the road before you buy.

What is the first step to selling in Elizabeth?

Start with a free market analysis from Janet. She walks the home, pulls comparable Elizabeth sales from NorthstarMLS, and gives you a list price with the sales behind it.

What is the first step to buying in Elizabeth?

Tell Janet what you want in Elizabeth, your budget and your timing. She sets up a NorthstarMLS search, connects you with a lender for a pre-approval if you need one, and starts scheduling.

Do homes in Elizabeth have a well and septic?

In town, expect municipal utilities; in the country around Elizabeth, expect a well and a septic system. Janet orders the septic compliance inspection early because a failed system changes the price.
