A local guide, with a boutique brokerage's full weight behind them.
Niki pairs deep local knowledge with True North's marketing, technology, and distribution — so clients get concierge-level attention without giving up scale.
How Niki + 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 multiple MLS services 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, LinkedIn, and YouTube, plus a targeted email push to our sphere and past-client database.
Niki 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.
