CJ Norman and Katy Norman are husband and wife Realtors based in Mound on Lake Minnetonka, helping people buy and sell homes across the western suburbs of Minneapolis under the Norman Homes brand.
Who CJ Norman and Katy Norman typically work with
Lakefront buyers and sellers
On Lake Minnetonka, shoreline, water depth, bay location and dock setup shape the value as much as the house does.
New construction buyers
The builder's agent represents the builder. Buyers get their own representation on lots, included features, upgrades and timelines.
Growing families
More space often means selling and buying in the same season, with the order, financing and closing dates planned together.
Homeowners downsizing
Downsizing starts with what the current home can net and what the next chapter needs, from one-level living to less upkeep.
Who are CJ Norman and Katy Norman?
CJ Norman and Katy Norman are licensed Minnesota Realtors and the husband and wife behind Norman Homes. They live lakefront on Lake Minnetonka in Mound with their two Shiba Inus, so the lake routines many clients are weighing are part of their own week.
Both came to real estate from corporate sales. CJ Norman spent about eight years in sales, strategy and communication roles, moved from the Chicago area to Minneapolis in 2017 and became a full-time Realtor in 2019. Katy Norman came from corporate and software sales and grew up in a family of real estate investors.
How CJ Norman and Katy Norman got their start in real estate
Owning duplexes in Minneapolis taught both of them that a home is a place to live and a financial decision at the same time. Katy Norman bought her first duplex in her mid twenties and lived in it while house hacking. CJ Norman bought a side-by-side duplex after his move to Minneapolis.
Those years brought real maintenance, contractors and the responsibilities that come with owning property. That experience is why their advice connects how a house functions with its condition, location and the timing of a move, rather than treating a purchase as a decision about finishes. Sometimes the useful answer is to pass on a property or wait.
Who CJ Norman and Katy Norman help
CJ Norman and Katy Norman focus on four kinds of clients: Lake Minnetonka lakefront buyers and sellers, new construction buyers, growing families and homeowners downsizing. Each move raises different questions, so the plan starts with why the household is moving rather than a generic checklist.
Lakefront moves turn on shoreline, dock and bay, which the lakefront living guide covers. New construction calls for independent representation before a builder agreement. Growing families often coordinate a sale and a purchase together, explained in buying and selling at the same time. Downsizing weighs upkeep, layout and what the current home can net, covered in the Downsizing guide.
How CJ Norman and Katy Norman work with clients
CJ Norman and Katy Norman are a husband-and-wife real estate team based in Mound, Minnesota, serving Lake Minnetonka and the western Twin Cities. Working together gives their clients the benefit of two experienced agents, more availability, different perspectives, and a shared approach to helping people buy and sell homes.
For buyers, that means more flexibility for showings, a second perspective when evaluating homes, and support through negotiations and closing. For sellers, it means more hands-on marketing, responsive communication, and two agents collaborating on pricing and strategy. Whether working directly with CJ Norman or Katy Norman, clients can expect honest advice, local market knowledge, and a straightforward, no-pressure experience.
Where CJ Norman and Katy Norman work
CJ Norman and Katy Norman are based in Mound, MN and serve the towns around Lake Minnetonka, including Mound, Spring Park, Minnetrista, Orono, Excelsior, Wayzata, Tonka Bay, Deephaven, Shorewood, Greenwood and Minnetonka Beach. They also serve the western suburbs of the Twin Cities, including Minnetonka, Victoria, Waconia, Plymouth and Chanhassen.
These towns are not one market. Price point, school boundary, commute, lot size and shoreline can change the right comparison from one street to the next. The community guide is a good starting point, and the Mound page explains the home market they know best, where lakefront and inland homes share the Westonka School District.
The Norman Homes track record
CJ Norman and Katy Norman's combined team record includes 300+ homes sold, $110M+ in sales volume, 160+ five-star reviews and 17 years of experience.
