Walk-through and pricing

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
Janet stays on the file through inspection, appraisal, and closing, and she is still a phone call away after the sale.
