Minnesota Property Group

My friend had just sold a home in Plymouth with Joe and told me he was responsive and honest. The photographer, home stager, and handyman he hired for us did an incredible job getting the home we sold in Coon Rapids ready for the market. Joe did all of the marketing and networking immediately after we told him we wanted to hire him to sell our house. He worked incredibly hard and showed up for us in a big way.

Catching up on reviews and realized I never shared my experience with the Realtor I used to buy homes in Plymouth and Edina — and I’m glad to finally correct that.

Working with Joe was incredibly refreshing. So often when you search for “top real estate agents near me,” you either don’t get a response or you end up pulled into a sales funnel with automated messages from agents you never intended to contact. While I understand the value of a real estate team, it’s frustrating when you specifically want to work with the team leader and get handed off to someone else.

That never happened with Joe.

He was always personally accessible and responsive. From the beginning, he clearly explained how he works and why he chooses not to focus on advertising or self-promotion. Instead, he focuses on his clients. He is straightforward, honest, and transparent about his approach — which made the entire process feel comfortable and pressure-free.

His referral-only business model clearly speaks for itself. After working with him more than once, I completely understand why his clients continue to recommend him.

If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, responsive real estate agent in Plymouth or Edina who prioritizes you over self-marketing, Joe is absolutely the one to call.

Joe Houghton is the real deal. I sold my home in Minnetonka, bought in St. Louis Park, and helped my mom sell her house in Golden Valley—all with Joe's help. He made every part of the process smoother than I thought possible. He was super responsive, honest, and way more affordable than other agents I interviewed. I always felt like he had my back and wasn’t just trying to close a deal. Highly recommend working with him and the Minnesota Property Group!
