True North Boulder: relational, not transactional.
A Boulder move-up practice built to get you the right decision, not a fast signature. Honesty is our True North.
True North Boulder is a Boulder, Colorado real-estate practice operating under eXp Realty. It publishes market reports and move-up and relocation guides for the $800K–$1.5M Boulder and northern-Front-Range market, and represents buyers and sellers in that segment. It is led by licensed Colorado broker Daniel Hsieh and serves Boulder, Longmont, Loveland, Berthoud, and Lyons.
“Relational, not transactional” isn’t a tagline we bought — it’s the reason this exists. Most real-estate marketing is built to get you to a signature. This is built to get you the right decision, even when the right decision is “not yet.”
Others tell you what you want to hear; we tell you what you need to hear.
Here’s what you won’t get from us.
- No call center, no lead-router hand-off. Your first conversation is with Daniel — the broker who’ll actually run your deal, not a phone tree or a junior you’ve never met.
- No gating your home search behind a form to harvest your information.
- No “it’s always a great time to buy or sell.” We’ll show you the actual numbers and the real trade-offs — and tell you when it’s a bad time, even when that costs us the commission.
What you will get: dated, sourced local market data and honest move-up math.
Don’t take our word for it. Read it.
Free, ungated, and kept current. That’s the proof a new practice can actually offer on day one.
Move-up guides
The honest math on selling one home to buy the next: order, timing, and what it really costs.
Seller guides
Pricing, timing, and how not to end up stranded between two homes when you list.
Relocation guides
Relocating for a Boulder job: employer to commute to neighborhood to price to schools — the stuff you can’t judge from Zillow.
Market reports
Dated, sourced numbers for the corridor: what actually moved, and what it means.
Neighborhood & town guides
Boulder to Loveland, block by block: commutes, price per foot, and the trade-offs nobody lists.
Buyer guides
Offers, inspections, and the new written buyer-agency rules — what to expect before you tour.
Meet the team.
A two-person practice, on purpose: the broker who wins your listing is the broker at every showing, inspection, and negotiation, so nothing gets handed to a junior agent you never met. And under eXp Realty, small isn’t a single point of failure — eXp holds the license, compliance, and E&O, and its Colorado agent network is the backstop for coverage.

Is True North Boulder a brokerage?+
No — it’s a real-estate practice/team under eXp Realty, LLC, which holds the license. Daniel Hsieh is the licensed Colorado broker behind it.
Who is Daniel Hsieh?+
Daniel Hsieh is the licensed Colorado real-estate broker behind True North Boulder, operating under eXp Realty. He writes the market reports and move-up guides himself and represents buyers and sellers in the $800K–$1.5M Boulder and northern-Front-Range market.
What’s a move-up buyer?+
Someone selling one home to buy a larger or better-located one — the core of the $800K–$1.5M Front-Range market. The timing and order of the two transactions is usually the whole game.
What areas do you serve?+
Boulder and the northern Front Range: Boulder, Longmont, Niwot, Lyons, Berthoud, and Loveland.
How do you get paid?+
Like any broker, on commission at closing, paid through eXp Realty. Buyers sign a written buyer-agency agreement before touring that spells out the fee in writing — commissions aren’t set by law and are always negotiable. Nothing hidden in the spread.
You’re new to Boulder — why trust you with a seven-figure decision?+
Fair question. We won’t show you a wall of closings we don’t have yet. What we can show you today is the work: dated, sourced market data and move-up math you can check yourself, free. Read it, decide whether we know this market — then call.
Do I have to sign anything to talk to you?+
No. A first conversation costs nothing and commits you to nothing. The written buyer-agency agreement only comes when you’re ready to tour homes with us.
Map your move with a real person.
No call center, no obligation — just a straight conversation with the broker who’d actually run your deal. Relocating on a tight timeline? Tell us your start date and we’ll work backward from it.
