The process

How Janet sells in Pelican Rapids

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

Janet gives staging and repair advice, sorted by what pays and what does not, so you spend only where it counts.

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

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

Your listing plan

  • The listing itself
  • Social media posts
