My story, and how it shapes the way I work with you.
Niki Long is an esteemed real estate broker with a deep understanding of the market and an impeccable track record. She has established herself as a trusted name in the realm of luxury properties and equestrian/farm estates. Niki's passion for real estate began over 3 years ago when she ventured into a new entrepreneurship and established another successful business, after owning a salon for 10 years. In just 2 short years in real estate, she became a top 10% producer in a prior firm, which had 85+ agents. With an exceptional eye for detail and a commitment to excellence, Niki has helped numerous clients buy and sell their dream properties. Her extensive knowledge of the luxury real estate market allows her to identify unique opportunities and cater to the discerning tastes of high-end buyers. Niki's expertise extends beyond the realm of luxury properties, as she has also developed a niche specialization in large acreage tracks of land/farms/equestrian estates and will assist clients with separating real estate assets during divorce situations. Niki understands the emotional complexities and legal intricacies that often accompany divorce proceedings, and she approaches each situation with sensitivity, empathy, and professionalism.

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 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.
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.
