Who we help in Minnetonka
- First-time buyers: we explain each cost and step before you tour your first Minnetonka home.
- Move-up buyers: we help you trade up within Minnetonka or from a nearby city, with both sales planned together.
- Relocation buyers: we explain how the city and Lake Minnetonka differ, so you search in the right places.

How we work
Education comes first with us. We cover financing, inspections, offer terms, and closing costs before they come up, so nothing surprises you later.
We set prices from recent sales of similar Minnetonka homes, and we check things that matter on wooded and wetland lots. Once you close, we are still here when a question comes up. Read how buying works or see our process.
What to know about buying or selling in Minnetonka
- The city is not the whole lake. The city of Minnetonka includes only the eastern tip of Lake Minnetonka. Lakeshore buyers often need to search several lake communities.
- Wetlands are part of the map. More than 20 percent of the city is wetlands and lakes, so buyers should check how a lot sits near water before making an offer.
- Three school districts. Hopkins, Minnetonka, and Wayzata each serve part of the city. The district depends on the address.
- Taxes through Hennepin County. Search the county's property information page by address to see taxes and the assessed value on any Minnetonka home.
