True North Realty
For buyers

A clear plan to buy the right home — without the pressure.

Buying a home is one of the biggest decisions you'll make. Allison's job is to make it feel like the second-biggest — because you have a guide who's done it hundreds of times.

The plan

Six steps, in order.

  1. 01
    Consultation

    A no-pressure conversation about your goals, timeline, and financing.

  2. 02
    Pre-approval & strategy

    Line up lending, define search criteria, and set expectations for the current market.

  3. 03
    Curated search

    Every home on Canopy MLS in True North's footprint — plus off-market opportunities.

  4. 04
    Tours & shortlist

    Walk homes with a guide who names both the pros and the risks — before you write anything.

  5. 05
    Offer & negotiation

    Strategic offers backed by real comps, timing intelligence, and calm negotiation.

  6. 06
    Under contract to close

    Inspections, appraisal, deadlines — all managed for you, with clear updates the whole way.

FAQ

The questions we get most.

Do I need to be pre-approved before we look?+

Pre-approval doesn't cost anything and takes about 20 minutes with a good lender. It also lets you write real offers when the right home shows up. We recommend it before the second tour.

How much should I budget for closing costs?+

Plan for roughly 2–3% of the purchase price. Some of it can be negotiated with the seller depending on the market.

Do you charge buyers directly?+

In most transactions the seller's side covers buyer representation. If a specific home requires anything different, you'll know before we tour it.

How fast can we close?+

Cash: 10–14 days. Financed: typically 30–35 days. We map the timeline to your life, not the other way around.
