Why should I work with Truehold?

Working with Truehold has many benefits. On the financial front, Truehold provides you with an additional revenue stream and an opportunity to make more money than would be the case if you didn’t partner with Truehold. On the broader business front, working with Truehold allows you to differentiate yourself from colleagues who have the same playbook and offerings, and helps you attract new clients who are interested in out-of-the-box options. Perhaps most importantly, partnering with Truehold offers you a tangible and meaningful way to help your clients access their home equity and gain financial security without leaving the homes that mean so much to them.

 Is the sale-leaseback process complicated?

No! The sale-leaseback process is quick and simple. You identify someone who would be a good fit for Truehold and submit their home details to your local market manager for review. If the home fits our criteria, you will receive an offer within 48 hours. You’ll work with your client to submit a verbal offer to Truehold, and then your client will receive a formal offer from our team. While we schedule and conduct an official home inspection, you'll assist your client in completing a tenant qualification application. Once all is complete and approved, we’ll schedule a closing date.

How does Truehold calculate monthly rent for my clients?

Just like our home valuation process, we use local comparable rentals to set a market rent for your client’s house.

How quickly can I expect an offer for a client’s home from Truehold?

If the submitted home information meets our criteria, we can turn the offer around within 48 hours for realtors. 

How involved will I be after I refer my client to Truehold?

Once you refer your client to Truehold, you can have as much, or as little, involvement in the sales process as you would like. The choice is entirely up to you, and we will cater to whatever arrangement you and your client desire.

Do other realtors like working with Truehold? 

Yes! Our realtor partners have had great experiences working with us. Doing so has allowed them to more meaningfully help clients in a wide variety of situations, differentiate themselves from other realtors, and solidify an additional, and stable, revenue stream for their business. Importantly, they’ve also very much enjoyed working alongside our sales and real estate teams, which they consider to be flexible, easy to work with, and human-centered.
