My name is Janelle Lake, and I have lived in this area for almost 30 years. I also have maternal family roots in this area, so it feels like home!

My main occupation is a licensed Realtor. I help people sell and buy homes in the state of Minnesota. It brings me great joy to assist buyers in finding their dream home. I assure buyers that I can tell its "The one" by the look on their faces. Selling a home on the other hand can be intimidating to some. It is my pleasure to walk beside the sellers through the process from beginning to end. My office is in Menahga next to the Menahga Laundromat & Gym. The laundromat and gym are open 24/7 and are self-serve entities. The second hat I wear is owning and managing long and short-term rentals. This experience has been invaluable to my real estate career.

I also now have the greatest title of grandma to two boys. They are a highlight to my life in every way. I enjoy traveling, Minnesota summers, white sand beaches, gardening and spending time with family.
