Thinking about selling your home but not sure what you should fix first?

One of the most valuable things I do for sellers is help them separate the improvements that may actually help the sale from the projects that are likely to waste time and money.

Because I am both a licensed Realtor and a licensed home builder, I can look at a property from a practical construction perspective while also considering what today’s buyers are likely to notice, question, or value.

Sometimes a few targeted improvements can make a big difference. Other times, the best advice is to leave something alone and focus on presentation, pricing, and marketing.

I have been helping homeowners sell throughout the Twin Cities since 2002, and my goal is always to give honest advice based on the home, the neighborhood, and the seller’s priorities.

If you are considering selling in Plymouth, Wayzata, Maple Grove, Minnetonka, Medina, Edina, Golden Valley, Orono, or anywhere in the Twin Cities, I would be happy to help you put together a practical plan.

Northwest Plymouth is quietly acting like its own market right now – and the common denominator is simple: Wayzata ISD #284.

In 55446/55447, you’ve got:

Hollydale – former golf course, new luxury builds and resales in the $1.5M–$2.6M+ range with Hanson, Stonegate, and Gonyea active.
Plymouth Preserve – newer executive builds, top‑end pushing over $2M.

Wayzata Farmsteads / Queensland & Hampton Hills – larger lots, green‑belt pockets, and $1.5M–$2M+ for the right home.

Below that, there’s strong demand for $400K–$750K homes and townhomes around Bassett Creek Crossing, Wyndemere Farms, Courts of Nantree, The Cascades, Steeple Hill, and Spring Meadows – perfect for buyers who want Wayzata schools without a $2M budget.

And lakeshore? On Medicine Lake and Parkers Lake, prices are set by water – frontage, views, and lot – more than basic comps, which is why you’ll see both million‑plus lake homes and more affordable condos and townhomes around the shoreline.

If you’re relocating to Plymouth, the difference between Wayzata #284 and Robbinsdale #281 (east side) can mean a big swing in both home values and long‑term resale.
