​Lake Norman Real Estate Agents with a Creative Point of View
A thoughtful approach to Lake Norman real estate and the life that surrounds it.
Have you ever lived in a place you loved so much you felt compelled to share it with others? We’re Chris & Dana Pape of Papemore Real Estate, Lake Norman real estate agents helping buyers and sellers make confident decisions. After more than 20 years moving across the country as a military family, we chose Lake Norman as our forever home — giving us firsthand perspective on relocation, homeownership, and how this market truly works.
​
When we moved here, we found that clear, consolidated information about Lake Norman was hard to come by. Basic maps and photos didn’t explain the differences between communities, market dynamics, or how to navigate 520 miles of shoreline. We Love Lake Norman was created to offer practical guidance, local insight, and a thoughtful perspective for homeowners, buyers, and anyone looking to better understand life on Lake Norman.
Our Approach to Lake Norman Real Estate & Lifestyle
We’ve never believed that real estate should be reduced to listings and statistics alone. Instead of building a traditional, property-focused website, we created We Love Lake Norman as a practical, experience-driven guide to the area.
​Much of what you’ll find here is based on what we call “factpinions” — perspectives shaped by lived experience and backed by research. We use this same approach when advising clients who are buying, selling, or simply evaluating their options around Lake Norman.
Every neighborhood, stretch of shoreline, and market cycle has its own character. Understanding those nuances helps homeowners position their properties wisely and helps buyers choose the right fit.​ If you’re looking for a grounded, local perspective on life and real estate at Lake Norman, you’re in the right place.
