How Katie + 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.
Katie 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.
- ✓Direct access — you text Katie, Katie answers. No junior handoff.

- ✓Early access to True North's coming-soon listings and network-sourced opportunities before they hit the public MLS.

- ✓A written buyer or seller game plan before you ever tour or list.
- ✓Transparent pricing — no junk fees, no surprise closing costs.
- ✓Post-close support: contractor referrals, tax appeals, refinance timing.
- ✓A brokerage that treats agents like partners, not seat-fillers — which is why your agent is here for the long haul.
