Why talk to me first

I'm a working agent at Trueblood, not a full-time recruiter. When you ask what the company is like, what the lead program really does, or what a normal month costs, I answer from where I sit.

Most brokerage pitches lead with the lifestyle and leave the money for later. I'd rather put the money first. If the numbers don't work for you, you'll know in ten minutes, and so will I.

The lead program

What the company lead program has closed

Trueblood provides leads to its agents. These are closed results on those company-provided leads, not total brokerage volume.

$230.6M2025 closed volume · 776 transactions

$201.0M2026 so far · 638 transactions

Source: Trueblood Real Estate company data, provided by its chief operating officer. 2025 is the full year; 2026 is year to date as of September 25, 2026. This is company-wide history, not a promise of leads or income for any one agent.

Pay plans

Two plans. No desk fees on either.

Both plans include workspace, conference rooms, and a Follow Up Boss subscription. You pick the one that fits how you work, and you can switch later.

Plan 1

$12,000 a year, then you keep it all

A flat annual cap, paid in monthly installments.

100% of the commission on the deals you generate yourself goes to you.
Your total to the company is capped at $12,000 a year, paid as $1,000 a month on the 25th.
Built for agents with steady production who would rather know their cost up front.

Plan 2

80/20 until $13,500, then 95/5

A split that tapers once you hit the cap.

You keep 80% and the company keeps 20% of the deals you generate, until $13,500 has been paid to the company.
After that, the split moves to 95/5.
Built for agents who want lower cost while production is building.
Q4 rule: if the cap has not been met before October 1, closings you generate go 50/50 (half counting toward the cap) until the cap is met or December 31. The split returns to 80/20 on January 1.

Fees that apply on both plans

Minimum commission: 2% on the buyer side and 2.5% on the listing side. You can charge less, but the company collects as if the minimum had been charged. Exceptions can be made on $1,000,000+ transactions.
Unlicensed assistants who use company systems, email or software: $100 a month, paid by you.
Company-provided leads are split under a separate lead schedule, not these plan terms, and do not count toward your cap. Ask for the current schedule on our call.
Switching plans: deals that went pending under one plan close under that plan, and your current cap carries over to the new one.

The company's recruiting materials also state that errors and omissions insurance is included.

Revenue share

Build something on the agents you bring in

Trueblood pays a recruitment revenue share to agents who bring other agents to the company. The recruited agent's plan and fees do not change.

20%

Your own recruits

20% of a recruited agent's company revenue, up to $2,400 a year per agent on Plan 1 and up to $2,700 a year on Plan 2.

10%

The agents they recruit

10% of company revenue from agents your recruits bring in, up to $1,200 a year per agent on Plan 1 and up to $1,350 a year on Plan 2.

$1,000

One-time bonus

Paid for each active recruited agent, at the later of their 90-day anniversary and at least two pending transactions.

How it works in practice

Revenue share is based on a recruit's own deals. Closings on company-provided leads do not count toward a recruit's cap, so they pay no revenue share.
You have to be active, licensed with the company, and in good standing at the time a payment is made.
Payments are prorated if a recruit has been with the company less than a full year or has not reached their cap.
The dollar figures are ceilings that apply only when a recruit's production reaches their cap. Treat them as the most a recruit can generate, not as what to expect.

What you get

What is behind the plans

Lead programs

Access to company lead programs, including Zillow Flex live phone transfers, with training from experienced local Realtors on working them. Lead splits follow the lead schedule above.

Coaching and training

One-on-one coaching with the company's Sales Director at no added cost, a full-time agent trainer, guest trainers, regular team meetings, and a library of recorded sessions.

Technology

A Follow Up Boss subscription on both plans, plus the company's Curaytor partnership for websites, social ads and email in Central Indiana.

Marketing and media

Zillow Media Experts for photos, 3D tours and floor plans, plus an in-house media director with discounted photo, video, Matterport and drone work.

Offices and flexibility

A hybrid model: a modern office with meeting rooms and private offices, and cloud tools so you can work from anywhere. Offices in Carmel, Fishers, Fort Wayne, Evansville, Lafayette, South Bend, Bloomington and Northwest Indiana.

Your own business

Agents are independent contractors, not employees. You run your business your way, and there is no payroll, benefits package or performance review.

Be honest with yourself

Where it tends to fit

You want to keep control of your own business and know your costs in writing.
You would use a lead program and real coaching, not just a desk.
You like the idea of building something on the agents you bring in.
You are licensed in Indiana and open to a change, whether you are just getting going or already producing.

Think it through

Where to look twice

If you close few deals a year, Plan 1's flat $12,000 is a real fixed cost. Run Plan 2 against your own numbers.
If you regularly discount below the 2% and 2.5% minimums, the minimum-commission rule affects you.
If you want an employer-style setup with payroll and benefits, this is a contractor model.

Questions

Straight answers

Is this a job?

No. Trueblood agents are independent contractors. You run your own business under the company's license, and you are paid commission, not a salary.

Does it cost anything to talk?

No. Our conversation is confidential and carries no obligation.

Why put the fees on a public page?

Because the first thing I'd ask a recruiter is what it costs. The answer should not take three calls to get.

Are these terms current?

They come from Trueblood's contractor term sheet and 2026 recruiting materials. Trueblood sets the terms and can change them, so ask for the current plan terms and Contractor Agreement before you decide.
