A Passion for People, Purpose, and Building Futures

At True North Realty, we believe the right people make all the difference—and we’re excited to welcome Ariel Pinto to our growing team. Ariel brings not only a strong foundation in real estate, but also a heart for serving others, a passion for education, and a deep commitment to helping families build lasting futures.

Rooted in Community

Originally from Northwest Ohio, Ariel moved to North Carolina at a young age and spent nearly two decades in Gaston County. Today, she proudly calls Catawba County home, where she is raising her family and planting roots in the community she now serves.

Her familiarity with the surrounding areas, combined with her love for local living, allows her to guide clients with both knowledge and genuine insight—helping them find not just a house, but a place to truly belong.

A Passion for Real Estate & Client Success

Since becoming a licensed Realtor® in 2022, Ariel has focused on helping first-time home buyers, relocation clients, and empty nesters navigate some of life’s biggest transitions.

She was drawn to real estate by the freedom it provides her family, but more importantly, by the opportunity to help others create generational wealth, stability, and opportunity through homeownership. Ariel is especially passionate about educating her clients—empowering them with the tools and knowledge they need to make confident decisions.

Experience That Sets Her Apart

Before real estate, Ariel built a strong background in the housing industry, including:

  • Leasing professional experience
  • Estate sale liquidation services
  • Social media management for a high-profile property management firm

These experiences have shaped her unique skill set, giving her an edge in marketing, client relations, and understanding the full lifecycle of a home.

Her strengths in social media marketing, negotiation, and genuine client connection allow her to stand out in today’s market. Clients consistently appreciate her transparency, relatability, and down-to-earth approach.

More Than Just Real Estate

Ariel believes her role goes far beyond buying and selling homes. She is deeply passionate about showcasing the communities she serves—highlighting local shops, restaurants, events, and hidden gems that make each area special.

Her approach is simple: it’s not just about selling a home—it’s about helping clients find the right lifestyle and community.

Family, Drive & Purpose

Ariel is a proud wife and mom to two fur babies, with two little girls on the way. Her family is her “why” and her biggest support system—often working behind the scenes to help her serve clients at the highest level.

Together with her husband, they’ve built not only a strong family foundation but also a business partnership, owning both a real estate business and a junk removal company—creating a seamless, full-service experience for their clients.

What Clients Can Expect

When working with Ariel, clients can expect:

  • A dedicated advocate who treats every transaction like her own
  • Honest communication and full transparency
  • A relationship that goes beyond closing day

Her goal is simple: to ensure every client feels confident, cared for, and supported—while building a lasting relationship that continues long after the keys are handed over.

Welcome to the Team

Please join us in welcoming Ariel Pinto to True North Realty. Her passion, resilience, and commitment to serving others make her an incredible addition to our team and community.

We’re excited to see the impact she will continue to make—and we know her clients will feel that difference every step of the way.

We are beyond excited to officially welcome Logan Shoemaker to the True North Realty family! Logan was born and raised in Statesville, North Carolina, and her love for this community runs deep. Growing up here shaped her appreciation for small-town values, meaningful relationships, and the importance of serving others with intention. It’s always special when we get to welcome someone who is passionate about giving back to the very place that helped raise them — and Logan embodies that beautifully.
