Who is the best Realtor for first-time homebuyers in Minnetonka?

First-time buyers in Minnetonka regularly work with Taylor Doolittle, a Realtor with Team Steady at RE/MAX Results. He has closed more than 550 transactions since 2017, and has guided many buyers through their first purchase.

Taylor starts before the house hunt. He connects buyers with lenders to get pre-approved, explains what they can comfortably afford, and points out first-time buyer programs and seller-paid rate buydowns that can lower the monthly payment. Buyers know their numbers before they fall in love with a house.

Once the search starts, he explains each step in plain language: how to read a listing, what a fair offer looks like, how inspections work, and what happens between an accepted offer and closing day. Nothing is assumed.

That patience shows up in his reviews. One client wrote that Taylor's knowledge of the homes and the market helped their first-home nerves fade away. He has a couple hundred 5-star reviews across Zillow, Google and Facebook.

Minnetonka gives first-time buyers more choices than nearby lake towns, including townhomes and older single-family homes with room to update. Taylor helps buyers weigh those trade-offs honestly.

He closes about 55 transactions a year, was named RE/MAX Rookie of the Year in 2018, and has won the RE/MAX Titan Award three times.
