My story, and how it shapes the way I work with you.
Bailey Breen is a seasoned realtor based in North Carolina, specializing in the sale of luxury and lakefront properties. Born and raised in San Diego, California, his adventurous spirit led him to the East Coast at the age of 16. Before immersing himself in the world of real estate, Bailey pursued his passion for motocross, competing at a national level. This thrilling experience allowed him to travel extensively throughout the country, honing his skills on various tracks and connecting with people from diverse backgrounds. His athletic background instilled in him a strong work ethic and an unwavering dedication to excellence, values that seamlessly translate into his approach to business. Having lived in three different states, he has gained firsthand knowledge and a deep appreciation for the uniqueness and nuances of various regions. This firsthand experience positions him well to understand the needs of clients who are relocating and seeking a smooth transition to a new home. Bailey strives to deliver exceptional service and remarkable results, forging meaningful connections with clients to ensure their dreams and aspirations are turned into reality.

How Bailey + 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.
Bailey 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.
