My story, and how it shapes the way I work with you.
Allison Waters is a dedicated real estate professional who takes pride in helping families find not just a house, but a home where they can build lasting memories. A proud resident of Granite Falls, Allison understands the local market inside and out, making her an invaluable resource for buyers and sellers looking to navigate the ever-changing world of real estate. As a devoted mother of two energetic boys, Allison knows firsthand the importance of finding the right home for a growing family. Before stepping into real estate, Allison spent five years in the car business, where she honed her skills in customer service, negotiation, and truly listening to her clients. She understands that major purchases can be overwhelming, and she thrives on making the process as smooth, stress-free, and enjoyable as possible. Outside of work, Allison loves embracing the great outdoors and spending time with her family.
A local guide, with a boutique brokerage's full weight behind them.
Allison pairs deep local knowledge with True North's marketing, technology, and distribution — so clients get concierge-level attention without giving up scale.
How Allison + True North actually market your home.
No cookie-cutter checklists. Every listing gets the same senior-level treatment.
A real comparative market analysis with live absorption data from Canopy MLS — plus an honest range, not a wish price.
Every listing includes pro photography, floor plans, and — where it earns its keep — drone, video walk-throughs, and twilight shots. No 'good enough' iPhone photos.
Your home hits Canopy MLS plus Zillow, Realtor.com, Redfin, and Homes.com — all with correct data and pro media.
True North's Social Studio generates on-brand posts across Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn, plus a targeted email push to our sphere and past-client database.
Allison negotiates with a full brokerage playbook behind them — pricing strategy, inspection response templates, and appraisal defense that a solo agent can't match.
A dedicated coordinator owns your timeline — inspections, appraisal, lender check-ins, closing — so you get updates, not scavenger hunts.
You get a real person on the phone, backed by the entire True North operation.
