Key Conversations: A Twin Cities Real Estate Podcast

Key Conversations is about the decisions that change real outcomes in a Twin Cities move, explained without fluff. Episodes cover buying, selling, financing, inspections and what is actually being seen in the market, grounded in real transactions rather than theory.

The show is built around Minneapolis, St. Paul and the surrounding suburbs, with examples tied to local deal dynamics. For first-time buyers, it breaks down steps, timelines and common decision points, with a focus on what to do first so buyers do not lose leverage. For sellers, it covers preparation, pricing strategy and how to position a home to earn strong terms. Financing episodes look at pre-approval strength, lender selection and how loan terms change offer competitiveness.

CJ Norman and Katy Norman, two Twin Cities Realtors who work with buyers and sellers across Minnesota, host the show. The first few episodes feature only the hosts to set the tone and the no-fluff format.

Later episodes bring on guest experts from lending, inspections, investing, design and other real estate specialties, chosen for clear answers without jargon. Episode 1, "Meet CJ Norman & Katy Norman of Norman Homes," sets the baseline for the show: direct, practical and built around real outcomes. Their introduction page covers more of their background, and Key Conversations sits alongside their other media appearances on No Contingencies, Twin City Tales and American Dream TV.

You can watch and subscribe to Key Conversations on the Norman Homes YouTube channel, where new episodes are released weekly. The newest episode is embedded at the top of this page, and every episode is listed below.

Subscribing on YouTube is the simplest way to follow each new episode and to share one with someone in the middle of a move. Listeners who want written versions of the topics the show covers can start with the home buying process, the home selling process and the debt-to-income guide, which follow the same practical, local approach and answer the questions Twin Cities buyers and sellers ask most often.
