True North Realty
For buyers

A clear plan to buy the right home — without the pressure.

Buying a home is one of the biggest decisions you'll make. Lucas's job is to make it feel like the second-biggest — because you have a guide who's done it hundreds of times.

The plan

Six steps, in order.

  1. 01
    Consultation

    A no-pressure conversation about your goals, timeline, and financing.

  2. 02
    Pre-approval & strategy

    Line up lending, define search criteria, and set expectations for the current market.

  3. 03
    Curated search

    Every home on Canopy MLS in True North's footprint — plus off-market opportunities.

  4. 04
    Tours & shortlist

    Walk homes with a guide who names both the pros and the risks — before you write anything.

  5. 05
    Offer & negotiation

    Strategic offers backed by real comps, timing intelligence, and calm negotiation.

  6. 06
    Under contract to close

    Inspections, appraisal, deadlines — all managed for you, with clear updates the whole way.

★★★★★

"Lucas was great to work with. We worked together from the start and followed through to closing. Excellent experience. "

"Working with Lucas was the best experience we have ever had with a realtor (and sadly we had a few bad experiences with others in the past). If you want someone who is going to fight to get you the best deal, get your inspections done on time and at the best price, and be there for advice when you need it, Lucas is absolutely the right person to work with. Lucas is incredibly responsive, and always got back to us super humanly fast. We were never in the dark, and he went above and beyond to communicate to us, or any additional parties involved, during each stage of the process. We never needed to ask for anything. Lucas would always proactively take action on items without us ever needing to ask him to. He always knew what needed to be done and was a step ahead of everyone during the entire process. Whether we needed to submit documents, get comps to justify our position during negotiations, or get our mortgage company to push our deal over the finish line, we could always count on Lucas to be there working at all hours to make sure we were happy and on track to close. We recommend working with Lucas if you are looking for a top tier realtor."

FAQ

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.
