Joseph and Simona★★★★★August 2026We have been looking at making the move from Vermont to NC for a while, and when the time came to start our search we reached out to True North and was lucky to be introduced to Monica, being an out of state buyer has its difficulties, but Monica's communication, knowledge and understanding of what we were looking for made this process so much easier than we expected. We were not easy clients to work with, as our home search criteria was ever changing, but Monica was able to pivot and guide us every step of the way. We are so grateful to have met and worked with Monica!

Dewayne Jr.★★★★★June 2026Monica was absolutely phenomenal throughout our home-buying journey. From the very beginning, she demonstrated professionalism, dedication, and an incredible attention to detail. Her communication was outstanding—she kept us informed every step of the way, responded quickly to our questions, and made sure we always understood what to expect next. What truly set Monica apart was her diligence and commitment to making the process as smooth and stress-free as possible. She handled every detail with care, stayed on top of deadlines, coordinated with all parties involved, and proactively addressed any issues before they became problems. Her knowledge and guidance gave us complete confidence in every decision we made. Purchasing a home can be overwhelming, but Monica took care of everything and gave us genuine peace of mind throughout the entire process. We always felt that she had our best interests at heart and was working tirelessly to ensure a successful outcome. If you’re looking for a real estate agent who is knowledgeable, responsive, hardworking, and truly cares about her clients, I cannot recommend Monica highly enough. We are incredibly grateful for her help and would gladly work with her again in the future.
M. Harvey★★★★★June 2026Monica has a genuine friendly and bubbly demeanor that is infectious and a joy to be around.

We cannot thank Monica enough...we recommend her to all our friends and family. But if we decided to sell, she will be our first call. 5 STARS. Phenomenal person.

Kalpesh & Krishna Shah★★★★★June 2025Working with Monica Setzer was hands down one of the best decisions we made during our real estate journey. From day one, Monica was all in—guiding us, answering every single question, and always being just a call or text away, no matter the time or day. She never missed a beat, never failed to respond, and never once let us feel lost or alone in the process. We went through ups and downs, delays and doubts—but Monica never gave up on us. She stood with us through every high and low, offering her expertise, reassurance, and unwavering support. Her dedication was truly unmatched. But what sets Monica apart is that she doesn’t disappear after closing. Long after the paperwork was signed, Monica still checks in, helps with questions, and continues to be a resource we can count on. That’s rare. She’s more than just a real estate agent—she’s a fierce advocate, a problem-solver, and a steady presence. We truly couldn’t have done it without her.
