FAQ
Questions about Richmond
Are there lakes near Richmond?
Going by distance, the lakes closest to Richmond are Cedar Island Lake, Big Fish Lake, and Rice Lake. Some have public access and some are mostly private shoreline, so ask Janet which ones fit what you want from a lake.
How fast do homes sell in Richmond?
It changes with the season and the price point, so a single average would mislead you. Janet would rather show you current numbers than quote a stale figure, so ask her for the latest report on Richmond.
Does Janet work with buyers moving from out of the area?
Yes, and she has helped clients relocate from as far away as California. She has packed a dozen showings into two days for one relocating couple, and she makes the lender, inspector and closer introductions.
What are property taxes like in Richmond?
Taxes in Richmond depend on assessed value and the levies from the city, Stearns County and ROCORI Schools, so similar houses can differ. Janet pulls the current statement for any home before you make an offer.
