Welcome Karla to True North Realty!

From the Classroom to Closing Deals: Karla Brings Passion, Patience, and Community Spirit to True North Realty

We are thrilled to welcome Karla Stephens to the True North Realty family! A lifelong resident of the Drexel/Morganton area, Karla is deeply connected to the community she now serves as a real estate agent.

Before stepping into real estate, Karla dedicated 28 years to shaping young minds as an elementary school teacher, working with students from 1st to 6th grade. Her years in education have given her unmatched patience, strong communication skills, and the ability to remain calm and steady in even the most stressful situations—qualities that will make her an incredible advocate for her clients.

Beyond her passion for helping others, Karla is a devoted dog lover, a proud mother of two grown daughters, and an avid gardener who finds joy in yard work. She’s always been social, outgoing, and community-focused, making real estate a natural fit for this exciting new chapter in her life.

Karla is eager to help buyers and sellers navigate their real estate journeys with confidence and care. Her ability to listen, guide, and support her clients—just as she did for years in the classroom—will make her an invaluable asset to anyone looking for their perfect home.

Please join us in welcoming Karla to True North Realty! If you’re looking for a dedicated, patient, and knowledgeable agent, reach out to her today. She’s ready to help you take the next step toward your dream home!
