New construction in Aria
Please call or text me before you visit a model home or register on a builder's website. In most new construction sales the builder pays my fee, so having me on your side usually does not change the price, and most builders accept your own agent only when that agent registers you on your first visit or first contact.

Janelle is fantastic. We recently were able to sell our home in one week at 1% over asking price. I believe that the professional photos and staging coupled with Janelle helping us price competitively led to this success. We closed in one month and are so very grateful for Janelle and her help with the sale of our property.

She was also very proactive with recommendations on how to get our house ready for sale, and she went above and beyond to make sure our house was sparkling clean and staged appropriately to make sure our house stood out compared to others. The video she created for our...
