FAQ
Questions about St. Stephen
How far is St. Stephen from Alexandria?
St. Stephen is about 68 miles from Janet's office in Alexandria, roughly an hour and 20 minutes by car in normal conditions. She covers it as part of her regular territory, so showings here are not a special trip.
Do homes in St. Stephen have a well and septic?
In town, expect municipal utilities; in the country around St. Stephen, expect a well and a septic system. Janet orders the septic compliance inspection early because a failed system changes the price.
What is the first step to buying in St. Stephen?
Tell Janet what you want in St. Stephen, 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.
What is winter access like for rural homes near St. Stephen?
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.
