My story, and how it shapes the way I work with you.
Born and raised in North Carolina, Mallory Young has always felt a strong sense of home here—and now she’s proud to be raising her own family in Hickory alongside her husband, Taylor. With Taylor’s family having deep roots in the community, Hickory holds a special place in Mallory’s heart. Together, they’re soaking in the joys and challenges of raising two sweet boys, Crew (3) and Reid (1), fully immersed in the beautiful, chaotic, and rewarding season of life known as “raising littles.”
With over 10 years of experience in the real estate industry and more than $36 million in career sales volume (and counting!), Mallory brings both expertise and heart to every transaction. She serves clients across Hickory, Charlotte, and the surrounding areas with an unmatched level of market knowledge, professionalism, and personal care. Her calm presence, honest guidance, and clear communication make her a trusted partner for anyone navigating the buying or selling process.
Mallory has a passion for helping families find homes that truly support their current season of life—because she knows firsthand how important it is to have a space that fits your family’s needs, lifestyle, and dreams. Whether it’s a first home, a growing family’s upgrade, or a move to a new city, she approaches every client journey with intentionality and care.
A local guide, with a boutique brokerage's full weight behind them.
Mallory pairs deep local knowledge with True North's marketing, technology, and distribution — so clients get concierge-level attention without giving up scale.
How Mallory + 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.
Mallory 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.
