Selling a Minnetonka Home During a Divorce
A calm, neutral sale when two owners need to agree, with the same information shared with both of you.
A fair sale in Minnetonka
When two owners share one home and a deadline, a clear process keeps the sale moving. I'm Lesley, a REALTOR® with Bridge Realty, and we guide Minnetonka owners through it.
What makes a Minnetonka home harder to value? The lot. Wooded, sloped, or creekside lots vary so much that two houses of the same size can sell for different prices. We explain how the lot affects your value, in writing, to both of you.

Maintenance during the sale
A wooded property needs attention while it is listed: leaves, gutters, the driveway in winter. Decide who handles it and who pays, so the home looks cared for at every showing.
Following your agreement
If your agreement or a court order sets a date or a minimum price, tell us at the start. We plan the listing around it and coordinate with your attorneys or mediator.
How we stay neutral and work with your attorneys is explained on our selling a home during divorce page. You can also request a value report for your Minnetonka home, read about selling in Minnetonka, or visit our Minnetonka page.
How property is divided is a legal question for your attorney or mediator. When you are ready, send us a message or call (651) 661-4770. Either owner can contact us.

Does the lot change our home's value?

Can you work with our attorneys?
Yes. We coordinate with attorneys or a mediator so the sale follows your agreement.
Minnetonka
What divorce sale looks like in Minnetonka
Minnetonka is a Hennepin County city of about 53,800 people, 10 miles west of Minneapolis, with wooded lots, three creeks, and the eastern tip of Lake Minnetonka.
Minnetonka is known for wooded neighborhoods and creek corridors. Only the eastern tip of Lake Minnetonka is inside the city, which surprises many buyers.
- The homes
- Homes built over many decades, often on wooded or sloped lots, along with townhomes and condominiums.
- Schools people ask about
- Hopkins, Minnetonka, and Wayzata school districts each serve part of the city. The address decides which.
- Getting around
- Interstate 394 leads east to downtown Minneapolis, Interstate 494 runs north and south through the city, and Highway 169 runs along the east side.
- Nearby
- 49 parks and more than 100 miles of trails, many along the Minnehaha, Nine Mile, and Purgatory creek corridors.
- The trade-off
- Only the eastern tip of Lake Minnetonka is inside the city, so most Minnetonka homes are not lake homes.
