About Maureen

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

Maureen Abernathy
Direct: 828-303-3578
Languages: English, Spanish
Experience: 6+ years

As a proud mom of three amazing daughters and a passionate real estate broker, I’ve built my career on a foundation of relationships, trust, and results. With over 90% of my business coming from repeat clients and referrals, I believe that real estate is never just about transactions—it’s about people. I serve from the heart, driven by a deep commitment to helping others reach their goals. Whether guiding first-time buyers or seasoned sellers, I approach every transaction with care, clarity, and confidence. It’s my mission to make the process smooth, meaningful, and successful for every client I work with. I’m excited to continue serving my community with the same core principles and personal dedication that have defined my journey from the very beginning.

Backed by True North Realty

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

Maureen pairs deep local knowledge with True North's marketing, technology, and distribution — so clients get concierge-level attention without giving up scale.

The True North approach

How Maureen + 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

Maureen 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 Maureen

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

  • Direct access — you text Maureen, Maureen answers. No junior handoff.
  • Local expertise across Catawba, Claremont, Connelly Springs — 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.
