The process
How Janet sells in Avon
Start with a call
Reach Janet at (320) 219-2488 with the basics: where the home is in Avon, when you want to move, and any questions.
Walk-through and pricing
Janet walks through the home, then pulls comparable sales from NorthstarMLS and recommends a list price with the sales that support it.
Prepare the home
Before photos, she says what to fix, what to clear out, and what to leave alone, based on what Avon buyers want.
Photos and the listing
The home goes on NorthstarMLS with photos and a written description, and from there to the sites that syndicate MLS listings.
Showings and offers
She manages showing requests, gathers feedback, and brings you offers with her read on price, terms, and the buyer's financing.
Inspection to closing
After the offer is accepted, she manages the inspection, appraisal, title work, and closing paperwork until the keys change hands.
Your listing plan
What Janet's marketing can include

- The listing itself

FAQ
Sellers ask
What is the first step to selling in Avon?
Ask Janet for a market analysis, which is free and carries no obligation. She will walk through the home, pull comparable sales from NorthstarMLS, and tell you what it would list for. She will also tell you what is worth doing before photos.
Can Janet show homes listed by other brokerages in Avon?
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.
How fast do homes sell in Avon?
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 Avon.
