$350K–$3M · 183 reviews
Joe Houghton runs Minnesota Property Group under RE/MAX Results out of Plymouth, and the numbers are the headline: 1,600-plus homes sold since 2002 and 183 Zillow reviews at a perfect 5.0. He's the high-volume, broad-coverage choice across the west metro — from Lake Minnetonka waterfront to first-time and move-up buyers — backed by a full team rather than a solo practice.
$500K–$2.5M · 27 reviews
Bryce Caldwell is the most content-rich independent agent operating in the Lake Minnetonka west metro corridor. Four years focused on Wayzata, Orono, Minnetonka, Eden Prairie, and Deephaven has produced genuine hyperlocal expertise that shows up in how he talks about bays, school district boundaries, and dock rights — not just listing counts. The best fit for buyers and sellers in the $600K–$2.5M range who want a knowledgeable local specialist, not a large team machine.
$2M+
Ellen DeHaven is one of the most established luxury names on Lake Minnetonka — a 40-plus-year Coldwell Banker Realty veteran in Wayzata with more than $800M in career sales and 300-plus lakeshore homes closed. She is the seasoned, top-of-market choice for estate-tier lakefront in the roughly $2.7M–$8.75M range, where experience and a deep buyer network matter more than a large digital presence.
$475K–$3.9M
Kristi Weinstock leads The Weinstock Group at Coldwell Banker Realty out of Excelsior, on the south shore of Lake Minnetonka. A 20-plus-year veteran and long-running Twin Cities Super Agent, she covers the south-lake and southwest metro across a wide range, from mid-market homes to $3.9M-plus lakefront. A strong choice for buyers and sellers centered on the Excelsior–Shorewood–Chanhassen side of the lake.
$275K+
A 30-year Lake Minnetonka waterfront specialist — strong for lakefront or luxury business, less suited to a budget starter-home search.
$450K–$1.8M
A marketing-background Compass agent posting real $10M-plus annual volume across Minneapolis and the West Metro, verified by RealTrends rather than just self-reported.
