Selling in Traverse County
Sell your home in Wheaton, MN
If you are selling in Wheaton, the buyer pool is smaller than in a city, which makes pricing and exposure matter more. Janet Matchinsky prices from local comparable sales and lists on NorthstarMLS and the sites that pull from it, so buyers find it.
The process
How Janet sells in Wheaton
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 Traverse 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
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.
Your listing plan
What Janet's marketing can include
Janet builds the marketing plan around the property, so it differs from house to house. Depending on the home, it can include the items below; agree on the schedule together so you know what will happen before the listing goes live.

- Staging before the shoot
- The listing itself
- Social media posts

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