Downsizing in Minnetonka, MN

Minnetonka is one of the easier places in the west metro to downsize, because the city has a wide mix of smaller homes. Taylor Doolittle, a Realtor with Team Steady at RE/MAX Results who lives in neighboring Deephaven, helps Minnetonka homeowners sell a family home and move into something that fits the next chapter.

Downsizers in Minnetonka often choose between townhomes and condos near the Ridgedale area, single-level ramblers in established neighborhoods, and options in nearby lake towns. The decisions are practical: association fees versus yard work, stairs versus one-level living, and how close to stay to family, church and friends.

Taylor lays out each path for selling and buying, including whether to buy first, sell first or close on the same day. He shows what the current home would sell for as-is and after targeted updates, so clients spend only where it pays. His team coordinates trusted contractors, cleaners, stagers and movers.

When it's time to choose the next home, Taylor gives honest input on fees, maintenance and resale, not a sales pitch.

He has closed more than 550 transactions since 2017, holds a couple hundred 5-star reviews, and is Co-Team Lead of the No. 2 large team at RE/MAX Results. For Minnetonka homeowners ready to downsize, Taylor makes the move organized and calm.
