The process
How Janet sells in Long Prairie
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
A walk-through and a comparable sales review lead to one number, and Janet explains how she got there.
Prepare the home
Preparation is a short, specific list from Janet: repairs that matter, clutter to remove, and staging touches that photograph well.
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
As offers come in, Janet walks you through each one and negotiates on your behalf until the terms are right.
Inspection to closing
From inspection through appraisal and closing, Janet tracks every deadline and keeps you informed so nothing catches you off guard.
Your listing plan
What Janet's marketing can include

- 8K drone photos and video
- Staging before the shoot
- The listing itself
- Social media posts
- Paired open houses
- Food at open houses
- Agent-to-agent calls
- Showing feedback passed on to you
Each one is explained on the main selling page, with what sellers wrote about her listings.
