About True Commercial
Leading With Local Roots, Driven by Real Results
True Real Estate was born from passion and client-focused drive by Jen True, a native of the Mankato area. Jen established herself as a successful real estate agent in the region, earning numerous awards for her sales production and dedicated service.
After working for other real estate companies and later forming her own team of real estate agents, Jen took a leap of faith and decided to open her own real estate company. True Real Estate debuted in January 2016 in the historic Depot building on Riverfront Drive in Mankato, Minnesota. The team included Jen as the broker, five real estate agents and three other team members.
Since forming True Real Estate, Jen has grown the business into multiple communities surrounding the Mankato area as well as greater Minnesota. The addition of numerous, driven real estate agents and the True Real Estate brand provides clients with a solid foundation of integrity, credibility and proven results. True Real Estate is a market leader and their listings outperform the competition. The focus for every listing always has the best interest of the client in mind.
We are committed to providing genuine service that allows you to focus on your future while we promote and protect one of your most valuable assets. Our dedicated real estate agents have a combined 100+ years of real estate background and work to develop long-term relationships. True Real Estate has uncompromising commitment to clients, provides reliable and responsive service, and is willing to go beyond expectations to get results.
True Integrity
We believe relationships come before commissions. That means straight answers on value, transparent pricing, and contracts written to protect you—not pad our pockets. Commercial real estate can feel like a dog-eat-dog arena filled with wolves and sharks; our job is to keep them at bay. Clients count on us for honest market opinions, crystal-clear paperwork, and a voice at the table that will never let them get taken advantage of. That’s why “True” isn’t just a name—it’s our non-negotiable standard.
Commercial Expertise
Industrial, retail, office, mixed-use, or development ground—each asset class has its own rules. Our team tracks local vacancy rates, cap-rate shifts, zoning changes, and lender appetite so you don’t have to. We translate complex lease language, audit CAM charges, coordinate environmental reviews, and model cash flows in plain Midwest English. Whether you’re buying an owner-occupied warehouse, selling an investment strip center, or structuring a 1031 exchange, we bring the sharp market insight and transaction know-how that closes deals on time and on budget.
Business Owners Helping Business Owners
Every True Commercial agent has signed payroll checks, balanced P&Ls, and negotiated with vendors for their own companies. We understand that real estate isn’t just a line item—it’s a cornerstone of profitability and growth. That shared experience shapes our advice: we hunt for properties that improve operations, negotiate terms that protect cash flow, and time dispositions around your strategic goals. When you partner with us, you gain a trusted advisor who treats your balance sheet as carefully as our own.
