A walk-through and a comparable sales review lead to one number, and Janet explains how she got there.

Photos and the listing
Janet handles photography, writes the listing, and puts it on NorthstarMLS, where every broker and buyer in the region can see it.
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.

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