Gretchen Kingma from Truehold explains how the real estate and services company is revolutionizing care for seniors.
Your aging parent is determined to keep living at home, but you’re concerned about their physical and financial safety. What do you do? Imagine if they could stay in their home, stop worrying about major home maintenance, and access funds to cover home services and other expenses. That’s what Truehold, a new company, is offering Cleveland-area residents.
“We started Truehold after watching loved ones face difficult decisions about where to live and how to afford care. Some moved to assisted living, only to suffer health declines due to the jarring change,” said Brian Hardecker, founder and CEO of Truehold. “Others stayed in their homes, but encountered surprise hardships that made it challenging for them to truly enjoy their retirement. There needed to be a more innovative option for those who want to stay in their home—so we created one.”
A new survey shows that 92 percent of older adults want to remain in their homes for the long term — 50 percent said the pandemic made these sentiments stronger. Yet many people have difficulty managing home upkeep as they age. Many struggle to cover their rising medical expenses, especially on a fixed income. Truehold was created to address these problems by unlocking the financial resources that empower seniors to age in place.

A St. Louis-based residential real estate and services startup focused on keeping seniors living in their homes longer is expanding to its first market beyond the region. The startup, Truehold, says it is establishing operations in Kansas City. Truehold’s expanded footprint comes after it launched its business model in July 2021 in St. Louis. “For many older adults, home is where their heart is, filled with happy memories. We’re committed to responsibly serving them,” founder and CEO Brian Hardecker said. “We’re excited to offer a long-term, trusted service that gives peace of mind for older Kansas Citians and their families.”
Truehold, a residential real estate and services business, is expanding to the Kansas City area after its successful launch in St. Louis in 2021. A St. Louis-based private company, Truehold has developed an innovative housing option called a sale-leaseback that gives older adults the ability to stay in their homes and retain their independence while gaining full access to their home equity. Truehold’s model is simple: They buy the home at all of its value, and the homeowners stay as renters for as long as they’d like. In contrast to a complicated reverse mortgage, Truehold’s sale-leaseback unlocks twice as much cash, is debt-free and covers hassles of homeownership like major property repairs, taxes and insurance.

Truehold was founded in honor of Brian Hardecker’s grandfather, a bombardier in World War II who was held as a POW in Germany. At the age of 90, he was forced to move from his family home to access his equity to cover medical costs. Truehold is forever grateful for the sacrifices veterans made during their time in service. To show their gratitude for these heroes and to pay tribute to Hardecker’s grandfather, Truehold sponsored the Friends in Service of Heroes (FISH) January Speaker Series in Overland Park, KS. FISH serves both prior and current military members and their families.
A company called Truehold launched a sale-leaseback pilot program in St. Louis in July targeted at older homeowners. Truehold buys the home and the resident rents it back from the company.

The main attractions are that the owner gets equity out, stays in the home and no longer worries about major repairs.

Truehold is dedicated to offering an innovative solution to allow seniors to age in place as long as possible. Its sale-leaseback model provides an option to access home equity without moving or taking on debt, all while removing the weight of major repairs.
