About Madilynne

My story, and how it shapes the way I work with you.

Madilynne Leary

Born and raised in Conover, North Carolina, Madilynne Leary is proud to serve buyers and sellers throughout Hickory, Lake Norman, and the surrounding communities with True North Realty. With deep roots in the area, she has a genuine appreciation for the local communities and the people who make them special. She believes finding a home is about more than the property itself; it’s about discovering a place where life’s most meaningful moments unfold.

Whether helping first-time homebuyers, guiding sellers through their next move, or assisting families relocating to the area, Madilynne is committed to providing honest guidance, clear communication, and personalized service. Her approachable personality, strong work ethic, and genuine interest in understanding each client’s goals help create a comfortable and rewarding real estate experience. She believes every client deserves the same level of care and attention, regardless of their budget or circumstances.

With an enthusiastic approach to her career and a commitment to continued growth, she strives to make the buying and selling process as smooth and stress-free as possible. Building trust, answering questions, and helping clients feel confident in their decisions are central to the way she does business.

Outside of real estate, she enjoys spending time with family and friends, creating social media content, and spoiling her Goldendoodle, Sloan. Giving back to the community is also important to her, particularly through supporting local schools, teachers, and students.

Guided by her faith and the belief that people always come before transactions, Madilynne is passionate about building lasting relationships that extend beyond the closing table. Whether you’re purchasing your first home, selling a property, or preparing for a new chapter, she looks forward to helping you find the right fit with care, integrity, and a commitment to your goals.

A local guide, with a boutique brokerage's full weight behind them.

The True North approach

How Madilynne + True North actually market your home.

No cookie-cutter checklists. Every listing gets the same senior-level treatment.

Step 01
Pricing built on comps, not hope

A real comparative market analysis with live absorption data from Canopy MLS — plus an honest range, not a wish price.

Step 02
Professional media, standard

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.

Step 03
Multi-MLS + syndicated distribution

Your home hits Canopy MLS plus Zillow, Realtor.com, Redfin, and Homes.com — all with correct data and pro media.

Step 04
Story-driven social + email

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.

Step 05
Concierge negotiation

Madilynne negotiates with a full brokerage playbook behind them — pricing strategy, inspection response templates, and appraisal defense that a solo agent can't match.

Step 06
Transaction management, handled

A dedicated coordinator owns your timeline — inspections, appraisal, lender check-ins, closing — so you get updates, not scavenger hunts.

Why work with Madilynne

You get a real person on the phone, backed by the entire True North operation.

  • ✓Direct access — you text Madilynne, Madilynne answers. No junior handoff.
  • ✓Local expertise across Hickory, Conover, Newton — schools, commutes, HOAs, the stuff Zillow can't tell you.
  • ✓Early access to True North's coming-soon listings and network-sourced opportunities before they hit the public MLS.
  • ✓Preferred lender + inspector + attorney bench — vetted, not paid referrals.
  • ✓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.
