Sellers ask
What is the first step to selling in Renville?
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.
Do homes in Renville have a well and septic?
Inside city limits, most homes are on municipal water and sewer, and outside town, private wells and septic systems are the norm. Minnesota requires a well disclosure at sale, and most counties here require a septic compliance inspection when a property changes hands.
What is winter access like for rural homes near Renville?
City streets and county roads are plowed by the city and the county. Township roads are plowed by the township, and private drives and some lake roads fall to the owner or an association. Janet asks who plows the road before you buy.
