The process
How Janet sells in Montevideo
Start with a call
Reach Janet at (320) 219-2488 with the basics: where the home is in Montevideo, when you want to move, and any questions.
Walk-through and pricing
She visits the property, notes what buyers will notice, and comes back with a price range built from recent Chippewa County sales.
Prepare the home
Before photos, she says what to fix, what to clear out, and what to leave alone, based on what Montevideo 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
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.

FAQ
Sellers ask
What is the first step to selling in Montevideo?
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 Montevideo?
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 Montevideo?
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 Montevideo.
