Co-Founder

I'm the guy who runs toward the chaos. I co-founded Tru North Property Partners to bring that problem-solving energy into real estate.

Read Zach's story

One thing people will tell you about me: I'm the guy who runs toward the chaos. Whether it's a distressed property, a family trapped in floodwaters, a business that needs rebuilding, or a deal that looks impossible on paper, I show up calm under pressure, with solutions and a strategy that works. I co-founded Tru North Property Partners to bring that same energy into real estate. I'm here to build something that lasts, do it the right way, and lead with heart in everything we touch.

My path didn't start polished. I've had to fight through some of the darkest chapters of my life, from battling addiction to undergoing life-changing brain surgery in 2018 after years of silent pain. I used all of it as fuel. I grew up in a hard-working family and played college football in the trenches, where I learned to take hits, push through, and show up when it matters most. That mindset carried me through recovery, through rebuilding my health, my mission, and my identity from the ground up. When the world shut down during COVID, I doubled down. I've rebuilt after injuries, rebuilt businesses from scratch, and kept finding a way forward.

I'm a "show me the challenge, I'll find the way" kind of guy. For the past five years, I've operated at the intersection of real estate, crisis response, systems design, and team leadership. I'm a certified Swift Water Rescue Technician and have been boots-on-the-ground during hurricanes, floods, and national disaster deployments. I still work in emergency search and rescue and in long-term recovery, because it's a passion of mine. We clear homes, save lives, bring stability to the aftermath, and shine light in places most people have given up on. That same urgency, clarity, and service-driven mindset are at the core of our values here at Tru North.

Read Jennifer's story

Hi! I'm Jennifer Williams, a founding member here at Tru North Property Partners. As a native Charlottean (yes, you heard that right: I'm one of the rare natives here in the Queen City!), I have watched this city grow over the years from a small city into the metropolis it is today. That growth inspired me to help build this company from the ground up, so people can be part of the growth in Charlotte and in areas around the country through strategic and creative capital development opportunities. I've always had a natural eye for value, whether it's identifying a high-potential investment property or uncovering a hidden gem at a local thrift shop. I'm a deal finder by nature, and that instinct fuels everything I do.

My background in international logistics gives me a unique ability to navigate complex transactions with purpose, precision, and speed. Before launching my real estate career, I spent nearly a decade managing global marine operations, where shifting timelines, high stakes, and constant changes were the norm. That experience shaped my ability to stay agile, detail-driven, and solutions-focused under pressure. I now apply those skills to every investment we manage at Tru North. From contract to close, I specialize in keeping deals organized, on track, and investor-ready. Organization is the foundation of how I operate.

Read Konner's story

I'm Konner Fallos, co-founder of Tru North Property Partners, a real estate company built on a simple principle: putting people first. We believe real estate should be done the right way, with honesty, clarity, and respect for the people we serve.

My passion for real estate started when I was really young. When I was growing up, my parents taught my twin brother and me the true value of property ownership through hands-on experience rehabbing homes, flipping properties, and managing rentals. More importantly, they instilled in us the belief that quality matters, because the work you do today directly affects the families who live there tomorrow. They prioritized doing repairs correctly, maintaining updated homes, and keeping rents sustainable, even when it meant sacrificing short-term profits.

Beyond my upbringing in real estate, I spent several years building an acquisitions team and assisting with dispositions for a growing investment company. That experience sharpened my ability to analyze opportunities, negotiate strategically, and, most importantly, identify real solutions for homeowners in difficult situations. Seeking to build something I could fully stand behind, with values that I TRULY share, I made the decision to help form Tru North Property Partners. Today, we operate with a people-first mindset, believing that when integrity leads the process, success naturally follows. If you share that belief, we'd love to work together to build something truly incredible.

Hi, my name is Devonte! I'm a Nashville, Tennessee-based real estate professional driven by faith, service, and integrity. A proud Christian, husband, and former law enforcement officer and military service member, I bring discipline, leadership, and a mission-first mindset to every client interaction.

After deploying to Kuwait from 2014 to 2015, I returned home with an even stronger commitment to serving others. With a degree in Information Systems and Cyber Security, I developed strong analytical and problem-solving skills, but ultimately felt called to serve my community in a more personal and direct way through real estate.

Since beginning my real estate journey in 2021, I have been dedicated to helping homeowners find real solutions during difficult or transitional seasons of life. Whether that's assisting sellers who need peace of mind or helping families move forward with confidence, my approach is rooted in faith, transparency, and compassion. I believe real estate is about serving people, solving problems, and being a steady guide during important life decisions, all led by my faith and belief in Christ.

Acquisitions Specialist

Real estate runs in my blood. I worked as a mechanic before getting into real estate, and I pride myself on meeting people where they are and solving problems, no matter how challenging.

Read Trey's story

I'm Trey Phillips! Coming from a family in real estate, I know this world all too well. You could even say this line of work is in my blood! It is a world that needs complex solutions to complex and unique problems. I pride myself on meeting our customers and clients on a personal level and getting to know them as people. At the end of the day, if I'm able to help anyone out with their needs, that's a good day.

I graduated from the University of North Texas in 2019 with a degree in Real Estate and Management. My customer service background actually comes from the automotive world, where I worked as a mechanic for a number of years before moving into real estate after college. I started my real estate career in 2020 as a real estate agent here in North Texas. I have always enjoyed working with people in whatever line of work I have been in, always wanting to solve problems, no matter how challenging. My background in real estate includes first-time home buyers, investments, condos, as well as acreage and land.

Marine Corps veteran turned Acquisitions Specialist. My job is to make one of life's biggest decisions feel clear and manageable.

Read Dylan's story

Hi, I'm Dylan. I'm an Acquisitions Specialist at Tru North Property Partners, and I get to spend my days helping people through one of the biggest decisions they'll ever make. My goal is always to make that process feel clear and manageable.

Before real estate, I served in the Marine Corps, where I learned what it means to show up for others and follow through on your word. That's still how I approach everyone I work with. For me, this work is about helping people create opportunities, reach their goals, and find a place that actually feels like home.

My background is a bit of an unusual mix: a degree in Kinesiology and an MBA. Together they've made me someone who thinks analytically and solves problems, but who stays focused on the people in front of me. I want to understand what you actually need, keep you in the loop the whole way through, and give you what you need to make a confident decision.

When I'm not working, you'll usually find me outside. I hike, climb, run trails, and go looking for new places to explore. Chasing that has taken me through some incredible parts of the country, and it's given me a real appreciation for the places people choose to put down roots. The same drive and preparation I bring to a hard climb is what I bring to my work, so the people I partner with always have someone in their corner.

More than anything, I'm passionate about this work and the role I get to play at Tru North. Real estate has a way of showing up in people's lives during stressful, complicated moments, and there's nothing I find more rewarding than stepping in, solving the problem, and helping someone move forward with a little more peace of mind. I care deeply about the relationships I build, and I take real pride in getting people where they want to go while making the whole thing feel a little easier along the way.
