Buying or selling a home is one of life’s biggest milestones, and I understand how exciting, and sometimes overwhelming, it can feel. That’s why I’m dedicated to providing personalized service, honest guidance, and clear communication every step of the way. Building strong relationships is at the heart of what I do. I take pride in being a trusted advocate for my clients, helping them move forward with confidence and peace of mind.

I’m Cristin Dorninger, a REALTOR® with Southern Homes of the Carolinas and a longtime Lake Norman resident. Originally from New Jersey, my family made Lake Norman our home in 2001 for its beautiful weather, lower cost of living, and close proximity to Charlotte. My husband Pete and I have raised two wonderful daughters here, and we’ve fully embraced the lifestyle this community offers. From quiet mornings by the water to afternoons exploring local shops and trails, there’s a warmth and sense of connection here that’s hard to find elsewhere.
With more than two decades of local knowledge and a genuine appreciation for the Lake Norman lifestyle, I strive to be an authentic and reliable resource for buyers and sellers alike. Whether you’re new to the area, ready to make a move, or simply exploring what Lake Norman has to offer, I would love the opportunity to guide you through the process — and help you make Lake Norman home.
