About the guides

Vic & Amy Petrenko

Vic and Amy Petrenko are luxury real estate advisors specializing in waterfront estates and luxury homes throughout Lake Norman, Charlotte and Lake Wylie, North Carolina. As founders of The Petrenko Group with Premier Sotheby's International Realty, they represent discerning buyers and sellers of lakefront estates with private docks, luxury new construction, golf-course homes and exclusive waterfront retreats.

They are also the voices and the research behind this guide, turning what other agents say about a lake into what a buyer or seller can actually verify.

A global life, a local waterfront

Their perspective is shaped by a genuinely global life of leadership and service. Vic, a retired U.S. Army Brigadier General, and Amy spent decades living and serving around the world through military assignments, completing 16 relocations with their children, including three moves during their children's high school years.

Despite those frequent moves, their children went on to attend Princeton University, Harvard Business School, Purdue University and the UNC School of Medicine, an experience that gives Vic and Amy a deep personal understanding of the complexities families face when relocating and navigating major life transitions.

Today they bring that global perspective to the Lake Norman and Charlotte luxury market, pairing deep local knowledge with the international reach of Sotheby's global network. Known for their integrity, discretion and strategic negotiation, they guide clients through complex transactions with the professionalism and precision expected in the luxury market.
