"We can’t say enough good things about Thea Russell! From day one, she was excited to pull out all the stops to find us exactly what we were looking for. She dedicated an entire day to showing us various neighborhoods so we could find the perfect fit, always pointing out details she knew were important to us. During the construction of our new home, she kept us constantly updated and offered helpful suggestions at every step—even offering to check on the build when we couldn't be there ourselves. She is an incredible advocate for you and your expectations. Beyond her skill and professionalism, Thea is just a wonderful person to work with. She even continued helping us search for a special place for my sister during and after we closed on our own home. If you want an agent who is upbeat, bright, and truly cares about her clients' needs, look no further than Thea."
Our experience with our realtor was absolutely amazing! From the very beginning, she was always there for us and made the entire home-buying process feel so much easier. Communication was one of the things we appreciated the mos she kept us updated every single day, answered all of our questions, and was always quick to respond whenever we needed her. She went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly and that we understood every step along the way. We never felt like we were alone in the process. We are so grateful to have had her by our side during such an important and special moment in our lives. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better realtor and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home! ❤️🏡✨
Romi was great to work with - very personable and knowledgeable on market conditions and buyer expectations. She was recommended by a mutual friend and was absolutely the right person to sell our house!
Ginger Barnes' experience and professionalism helped to minimize the stress of the home selling process. Her knowledge of the market enabled her to share insights which assisted me in determining which offers to reject and when to accept the right one.
100% recommend very nice person amazing at her job
I recommend her and would definitely use her again. She went above and beyond to make our home buying experience amazing.
I came to work with Tami after a very disappointing experience with another realtor. She came highly recommended by others that had worked with her. She absolutely exceeded the high expectation I already had of her based on everyone else’s praises! She knows the area very well. She can tell you anything you want to know about schools, businesses and everything in between. The process of home buying was very smooth and professional, including her team of lenders and attorneys. She works hard in your interest as the buyer (and I’m sure sellers as well). No matter when I had questions she would always answer in a way that never made me feel like I had bothered her and she was happy to help. She even was so sweet to present us and my kids with a personalized welcome home gift when we had closed on our house! We would highly and sincerely recommend her.
She was so kind and informative. She took the time to actually teach us the process of buying a home which was so appreciated because we are first time home owners and had no idea what we were doing. She connected us with a lot of resources and professionals along the way. She advocated for us throughout the process which was more than we could have asked for. We are so grateful to get the opportunity to work with her. In short, Amy is compassionate, trustworthy, and competent. We would recommend working her on purchasing a new home.
Cortney is a true professional. She made time to attend the inspections and let people in as necessary. I have more experience than most real estate agents, but she was confident enough to tell me the truth, even when it wasn't what I wanted to hear. She was kind enough to communicate in a manner that kept everybody on target. I have recommended her to friends and family.
We had been considering a move from Massachusetts to North Carolina for a couple of years. We’d heard wonderful things about Hickory and began watching the You Tube videos produced by Katie and Adriano. Through them, we learned so much about the area that we had to explore it in person. We loved Hickory and continued to watch the videos about how to retire here and what to consider before making the move. Meeting Katie last fall was wonderful and, when we were ready, she teamed us up with Thea Russell who was welcoming and gave us good direction from the very first meeting. Our home purchase went quickly and our relocation has been quite smooth considering the 1,000 mile trip between selling our MA home and beginning our new chapter by buying a new home in NC. We are very thankful that Thea and True North encouraged and supported us and will highly recommend the entire group to anyone considering a home purchase in this area.
