MEET CJ & KATY NORMAN

We’re CJ and Katy Norman, a husband and wife real estate team behind Norman Homes, based in Mound and serving the Lake Minnetonka area, the western suburbs, and the greater Minneapolis–Saint Paul area. As local Realtors, we help home buyers and home sellers make smart moves with honest advice, strong market knowledge, and zero pressure. We’ve built our reputation by being responsive, easy to talk to, and steady from the first conversation through closing.


A lot of the clients we work with are growing families looking for more space, downsizers ready to simplify, buyers exploring new construction in the western suburbs, and clients searching for or selling Lake Minnetonka lakefront property. No two moves are exactly alike, so we listen first, give straightforward answers, and help you make decisions that fit your goals, timing, and price point.


Because we live and work here, we know these communities beyond the listing details and understand how neighborhood, lake access, school boundaries, commute patterns, and lifestyle fit can shape a decision. From hosting the Key Conversations Podcast to being recognized as top-rated agents on Zillow, everything we do comes back to building the kind of real estate business people feel comfortable turning to for real guidance, not a sales pitch.

Client Stories

What clients say.

"We found CJ through a Zillow listing on a condo we wanted to look at months ago. He met us for a walkthrough, though at the time we were 'just looking.' Over the summer we decided it was time to make a change and the condo was still available. We worked with CJ and he was so helpful and responsive through every step of the process (even with final handoff and research after close). Now working with him to sell our prior home as well."

Anytime we had questions or concerns, they were easy to reach and always kind. My husband and I are so thankful for them and couldn’t have asked for a better team to help us find our triplex!"

You can really tell he’s not just a good real estate agent but he’s truly a good human. We loved working with him and wouldn’t go with anyone else if we buy another!"
