About Josh Bouwens

Originally from Scottsdale, Arizona, Josh Bouwens brings a calm, client-first approach to real estate backed by years of experience building relationships throughout the Lake Minnetonka community. Now based in Chaska, Josh combines strong communication skills, an extensive local network, and a service-driven mindset to help clients confidently navigate every stage of the buying and selling process.   Before transitioning into real estate, Josh spent years working in the hospitality industry, where he developed the ability to stay composed under pressure, adapt quickly, and connect with people from all walks of life.   Those experiences naturally translated into real estate, where every transaction comes with its own personalities, emotions, and unexpected moments. Josh prides himself on being a steady, reliable presence for his clients while protecting their best interests and delivering exceptional service from start to finish.   Josh was inspired to pursue real estate by a desire to help people step into new chapters of their lives while building a business rooted in relationships and community. Over the past 15 years, he has built a strong network around the Lake Minnetonka area through personal connections, social media, and his continued work bartending in Wayzata, giving him a unique ability to connect with people and understand their needs.   Known for being approachable, focused, and easy to work with, Josh believes the best real estate experiences come from trust, honesty, and strong communication. Whether helping a first-time buyer, assisting a family preparing for their next move, or guiding a seller through the process, he is committed to making clients feel informed, supported, and confident every step of the way.   Outside of real estate, Josh is a musician at heart who enjoys playing keyboard, singing, and producing music. He also loves cooking, engaging in thoughtful conversations, and staying active through boxing, yoga, and fitness. Above all, Josh values spending quality time with his daughters while continuing to grow both personally and professionally within his community.
