The process
How Janet sells in Fergus Falls
Start with a call
The first step is a short conversation with Janet, by phone or text at (320) 219-2488, about the house and your timeline.
Walk-through and pricing
She visits the property, notes what buyers will notice, and comes back with a price range built from recent Otter Tail County sales.
Prepare the home
Before photos, she says what to fix, what to clear out, and what to leave alone, based on what Fergus Falls buyers want.
Photos and the listing
Once the photos are done, the listing goes live on the MLS and the major portals. Janet shares it on social media as well.
Showings and offers
Janet coordinates showings around your schedule, follows up with every agent who visits, and presents each offer with a plain explanation.
Inspection to closing
After the offer is accepted, she manages the inspection, appraisal, title work, and closing paperwork until the keys change hands.
