Janet Matchinsky is an exceptional realtor. She demonstrates win-win competencies in listening, learning, and executing tasks. She’s supportive in meeting goals to produce the most direct and efficiently outcome for the client. She is patient, concise, and driven to satisfy the client by listening, communicating, and accessing needs over wants in purchasing a home. Our process for selection of purchase was long as properties came and went quickly.

There were challenging situations which brought on insightful questions. All which Janet, with 20+ years’ experience was available and with sensitivity able to answer. She is well informed about the market, knowledgeable in professional areas related to home-ownership, and engages frequently to encourage and motivate the home-seeker through the complete experience. Janet is personally professional, she knows the field, she knows people, and she understands the dreams of homeownership. Janet made a difference in our experience. I was compelled to work with her as compassion and ethics exceeded my expectations and reshaped identifiers once held of a realtor. Now to those of a mentor marking how good people, good realtors are supposed to be with prospective buyers. She’s a great teacher. Thank you tremendously Janet. J. Jensen

Editor's note: Janet has been a full-time licensed broker since 2014.

When my husband and I started looking for our forever home, Janet was there to help us with our journey. From our first meeting, Janet made us feel so comfortable and was not pushy. Janet gave us her honest opinion about things and was helpful pointing out imperfections. Janet was so patient with us and made herself available every moment we called on her, even when it was last minute.

Janet always made us feel like we were most important to her. Even when I was feeling hopeless, Janet remained positive reminding me our perfect home was out there. We also had a house to sell. Janet went above and beyond making sure our house was show ready. Janet worked hard at marketing our house and made personal phone calls to other realtors to get the word out. In the end, we found our forever home, sold our house and Janet was with us every step of the way.

Janet's professionalism, honestly, and hard work ethic were evident in the listing she created, the advertising pushes she made, and the showings she gave. Janet made the process incredibly easy and took extra steps like giving staging tips, finding unique ways of advertising (using social media, paired open houses, etc.), and using food to give the home a welcoming feel during open houses.

She took the anxiety out of the negotiation process for me, responded quickly to my calls, and was patient with my many questions. I was always confident that Janet was looking out for my best interest. I highly recommend her as an agent!

From the first phone call, Janet made sure that anything that I needed or wanted was taken care of. She is detailed and makes sure to explain anything and everything thoroughly so I understand everything about the house buying process. Janet makes sure that she gets the best deals she can get for her clients and ensures that everything is fair and no one is being take advantage of.

I would and have been referring friends and family to Home Match Realty because I am confident that she will help everyone in the same manner. She cares about her clients more than the money and that is the best thing about her.

I have purchased 2 homes and sold one through Janet at Home Match Realty. Even with hiccups and frustrations, Janet was always there with professional advice. I'd definitely recommend Home Match Realty for either your buying or selling needs. Janet and her team definitely match hearts to homes.

Janet went above and beyond to help me buy my first home! Would highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling. She's very knowledgeable, professional and an awesome negotiator!

Stone Anderson homematch320.com review

We moved from California to Minnesota without having located a new home. We answered a Zillow ad for a lovely house in Redwood Falls. That is where we met Janet Matchinsky as our realtor. She fully assessed our wants and needs as we toured that house and over the next couple of days. That one didn't work out for us.

Yet Janet was not discouraged during the whole time we spent with her. Two days later she had showed us about a dozen houses. During that time Janet was thoughtful, thorough, business oriented, compassionate, and an overall lovely lady. The last house we saw was in Buffalo Lake. It was a very charming house, and we loved it. We settled on that one and made it our home. We closed a few days later. We're happy to have made a friend in Janet, and luckily she visits us from time to time.

We were in the market for a cabin and met Janet, with our first visit to a cabin we were interested in. Janet worked tirelessly to help us find a place that met our requirements. She was extremely knowledgeable of lakes, homes and their backgrounds. I would recommend Janet for any real estate needs.

Jim John homematch320.com review

We trusted Janet Matchinsky to represent us and to help us get a house we saw and really wanted to buy. She encouraged us, gave us good information that helped us understand what was going on and she saw the deal through. Because of Janet we have a house we love today!!

I love working with Janet. She has a fun and energetic personality. She understands what we are looking for in a house and listen to what we want. She never rushes us, and makes sure all of our questions are answered!

Jasmine Bendickson Facebook review

Reading the reviews

Clients describe the work in their own words. One buyer wrote that Janet "was helpful pointing out imperfections." Another, whose search ran long because "properties came and went quickly," wrote that "she is patient, concise, and driven to satisfy the client." A seller credited her with "giving staging tips" and "using food to give the home a welcoming feel during open houses," and a buyer wrote that "she even helped me move and clean my new home."

The couple who moved from California and settled in Buffalo Lake wrote that "luckily she visits us from time to time." Buyers who "were in the market for a cabin" called her "extremely knowledgeable of lakes, homes and their backgrounds."

Who they are from

The reviews span the range of Janet's work: a first-time buyer who called her "an awesome negotiator," a couple selling their house while buying their next home, clients relocating from out of state, cabin buyers, and a client who wrote, "I have purchased 2 homes and sold one through Janet at Home Match Realty." If you are weighing Janet against another agent, the how to choose a realtor page lists the questions to ask both, and the sold page shows her recent closings. Towns mentioned in reviews have their own pages on the communities list.
