History
Established in 2023.
True North Realty was founded in 2023 by Katie and Adriano Lamboglia, and the name was chosen with intention. Just as a compass needle steadfastly points North, "True North" represents an unwavering commitment to a higher standard — service that exceeds industry norms and clients' expectations. What began as a boutique vision has grown into a brokerage of 55+ agents serving Hickory, Lake Norman, the Catawba Valley, and the greater Charlotte metro. Katie, Broker in Charge, brings 17+ years of experience and was recognized among the "Top 10 Under 40." Adriano, a US Marine Veteran, leads as Sales Manager. Together they've built a culture-first brokerage that guides clients toward their real estate goals with honesty, integrity, and unwavering focus.
