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. Amy'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.

In their words.

★★★★★

"She will let you know straight up if the house is right for you or not. Very personable."

— Kenneth & Joanie Richardson, Buyer
★★★★★

"She was so kind and informative. She took the time to actually teach us the process of buying a home which was so appreciated because we are first time home owners and had no idea what we were doing. She connected us with a lot of resources and professionals along the way. She advocated for us throughout the process which was more than we could have asked for. We are so grateful to get the opportunity to work with her. In short, Amy is compassionate, trustworthy, and competent. We would recommend working her on purchasing a new home. "

— Taylor & Brennan Thompson, Buyer
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.
