★★★★★"Incredible,Consistent service from a phenomenal team!We live in CA and have bought two properties in NC though True North Realty at different times.For our first home ,the owners Adriano and Katie Lamboglia recommended and excellent agent on their team who was great,When that agent later transitioned out of the real estate business,Adriano and Katie stepped in personally to handle our second purchase. They made the long-distance buying process seamless and stress-free.It is clear the they run their company with the highest standards of integrity and care.Adriano and Katie are officially our go-to team in North Carolina-highly recommended!"
★★★★★"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If we could give Katie and Adriano 10 stars, we absolutely would! After being in the process of selling our home for **almost two years**, we can honestly say that we could not have asked for better realtors—or better people—to walk through this journey with us. At the same time we were finally closing on the sale of our home, we were also purchasing our new home, which meant there were countless details, moving pieces, unexpected issues, and moments of stress along the way. Through **every single one of them**, Katie and Adriano were there. They went above and beyond—not just to make sure the transactions were successful, but to make sure **we were taken care of**. They were incredibly responsive, patient, knowledgeable, encouraging, and genuinely invested in making sure every detail was handled and that everything went as smoothly as possible. There were definitely moments when this process felt overwhelming, but having them in our corner made all the difference. What started as a realtor-client relationship became so much more. **Katie and Adriano truly became friends to us.** They cared about our home, our move, our family, and our experience in a way that went far beyond what anyone could reasonably expect from a realtor. We are incredibly grateful for the time, energy, patience, and heart they poured into this entire process. We wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. If you want realtors who will **fight for you, advocate for you, communicate with you, sweat the details, and genuinely care about you**, Katie and Adriano are your people. Thank you, Katie and Adriano, for helping us close one chapter and begin such an exciting new one. We are so thankful that this journey brought you into our lives—and even more thankful that we get to call you friends. ❤️🏡 "
The questions we get most.
Do I need to be pre-approved before we look?+
Pre-approval doesn't cost anything and takes about 20 minutes with a good lender. It also lets you write real offers when the right home shows up. We recommend it before the second tour.
How much should I budget for closing costs?+
Plan for roughly 2–3% of the purchase price. Some of it can be negotiated with the seller depending on the market.
Do you charge buyers directly?+
In most transactions the seller's side covers buyer representation. If a specific home requires anything different, you'll know before we tour it.
How fast can we close?+
Cash: 10–14 days. Financed: typically 30–35 days. We map the timeline to your life, not the other way around.
Tell Adriano what you're looking for.
Even a rough idea helps — timeline, area, budget, must-haves. Adriano follows up personally, typically within an hour.
