Know Before You Close: A Free, Independent Financial Review

A built-in step in the Truehold process—because informed decisions are the best ones.

How It Works

Why This Step Matters

A Smarter Way to Sell with Confidence

Selling your home is a major financial decision. We want you to feel confident that you understand every detail of your sale and lease agreement.

That's why we've partnered with Cambridge Credit Counseling, a government-certified, HUD-approved nonprofit, to provide an independent financial counseling session as part of our process.

The counselor conversation is mandatory but waivable and completely free of charge. Including this as part of your home sale process is an important part of Truehold's commitment to making every customer feel informed and secure in their transaction.

Truehold transactions are real estate sales transactions, including sell-and-stay opportunities that involve the sale of property and the subsequent leasing of that property by the seller pursuant to a lease agreement. Truehold does not typically allow sellers to re-purchase the property after the sale. Product offerings vary by state and locality. Terms and conditions apply.

Truehold's initial purchase offer is non-binding and is subject to the execution of a mutually satisfactory sale contract, contingent on a no-cost home inspection, and standard lease signing (if applicable). Offer may change based on inspection results. For sell-and-stay opportunities, post-sale, you must adhere to lease terms for the minimum term (which ranges from 6 - 24 months) to continue living in the home. This includes making timely rent payments, which may increase after the initial term. Customer testimonials are based on individual customer experience.
