Downsizing in Deephaven, MN

Deephaven homes tend to be larger, on bigger lots, and lived in for a long time, which makes downsizing here a real project. Taylor Doolittle lives in Deephaven and helps his neighbors sell, move and settle into something smaller, whether that's nearby in Excelsior, Wayzata or Minnetonka or somewhere new.

Deephaven downsizers usually face three questions: what the house is worth after years of updates, or without them; how to prepare a big home and yard for market without overspending; and how to time the sale with the purchase of the next home. Because Deephaven has few sales each year, pricing takes care.

Taylor prices from the handful of true comparable sales and explains each adjustment. He shows what the home would sell for as-is and after targeted updates, so clients can choose with real numbers. His team coordinates trusted contractors, cleaners, stagers and movers, and he helps sequence the sale and the next purchase so clients aren't paying for two homes or scrambling for a place to live.

Taylor is a Realtor and Co-Team Lead with Team Steady at RE/MAX Results, with more than 550 closed transactions since 2017 and a couple hundred 5-star reviews.

For Deephaven homeowners ready for their next chapter, Taylor offers patience, honest pricing and the perspective of a neighbor.
