My story, and how it shapes the way I work with you.
Born and raised in the beautiful mountains of Helena, Montana, Rachel Coram has always valued a strong sense of community and connection. After attending Bible school, she met her husband in Nashville, Tennessee, and together they made the move to North Carolina in 2013. Since then, Hickory has been their home, where they are raising their two children. Before beginning her career in real estate, Rachel worked as a nurse assistant at Lake Norman Regional Hospital for two years. That experience taught her the importance of empathy, patience, and clear communication—qualities she now brings into every client relationship. With strong organizational skills and attention to detail, she strives to make the home buying or selling process as smooth and enjoyable as possible. Her passion for real estate is deeply rooted in her desire to help others. Having gone through the home-buying process herself, she understands how important it is to feel heard and valued. Her personal mission is to ensure every client finds the perfect place to call home. Outside of real estate, Rachel and her family love music and spending weekends on Lake Hickory.
A local guide, with a boutique brokerage's full weight behind them.

How Rachel + 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.
Rachel 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.
