My story, and how it shapes the way I work with you.
Janet is a dynamic and dedicated professional who brings a wealth of experience, passion, and heart to our team. As a proud wife and mother of three wonderful kids and four lovable dogs, she understands the importance of finding the perfect place to call home. Janet just moved back to the area, a place she has always considered her true home. Her heart has always belonged here, and we are excited to see her thrive in a community she loves deeply. Her love for the lake brings joy and tranquility, allowing her to connect with the serene beauty of nature and find peace in its embrace. With a deep commitment to helping people, Janet's genuine desire to make a positive impact shines through in everything she does. Her journey in real estate began in 2017 in Hickory, NC. It’s only fitting she has come back to the area, demonstrating her dedication to expanding her expertise and service area. Janet's return to the area is not just a move but a heartfelt homecoming. We are confident that her passion, dedication, and warm personality will make her an invaluable asset to our team and the community.

How Janet + 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.
Janet 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.
