My story, and how it shapes the way I work with you.
With a background in engineering and 15 years of experience as a Global Program Manager for a German automotive company, I bring a strategic, detail-oriented approach to real estate. Originally from Brazil, I have called the U.S. home for the past 10 years, with the last three years spent in Hickory. My analytical mindset, problem-solving skills, and commitment to excellence allow me to guide clients seamlessly through the home-buying and selling process. Whether you’re looking for your first home, an investment property, or a place to grow, I am dedicated to helping you make informed decisions with confidence. When I’m not working, you’ll find me immersed in books or studying, always eager to learn and expand my expertise. But my greatest joy comes from spending quality time with my family, especially playing with my 4-year-old son. Real estate is more than transactions—it’s about building relationships and finding the perfect place to call home. Let’s work together to make your real estate goals a reality!
A local guide, with a boutique brokerage's full weight behind them.
Lucas pairs deep local knowledge with True North's marketing, technology, and distribution — so clients get concierge-level attention without giving up scale.
How Lucas + 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.
Lucas 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.
