Cost Intelligence · TrueFile™

Know which files
are actually paying you.

Per-file cost model that reads YOUR P&L, accounts for YOUR overhead, and tells you — by AM, by file type, by quarter — which work is making money and which work is eating it. Marge coaches the rest.

Standalone at $89/mo — or part of the Solo bundle at $139/mo.

The cost intelligence model generic transaction tools (Concourse360™, Dotloop, SkySlope) don't have. Runs alongside whatever you use today.

TrueFile™ is the operational and financial intelligence platform built for REO brokers — automating the work between the platforms, revealing the true cost of every file, and giving every broker the clarity to run their division with confidence.

Most REO brokers can tell you their gross commission per file. Almost none can tell you the net — after replacement-cost broker labor, support staff, mileage, tech, overhead, float, and the AM-specific reimbursement leakage you swallow every month.

That's how you end up keeping AMs that look fine on paper and quietly cost you money. Or pricing renewals off gut instead of math.

REO is an averages game. Until you can see the average net per file by AM, you're guessing — and the guess is usually too generous.

What you get

Three surfaces. One source of truth.

Per-file model
The cost model wizard

11-step wizard captures your real labor mix, replacement rates, support pool, mileage, tech stack, marketing/BD, facilities, compliance, BPO + commercial lines. Outputs cost-per-file by file type, blended net, and break-even ASP.

  • Replacement-cost broker labor (no double-dip)
  • Owner-comp routed correctly to cash draw
  • Reality-check gates on the 3 places brokers fool themselves
Quarterly truth
Quarterly P&L sync

Drop in your QBO export or upload a CSV. We map line items to the model with your synonym dictionary, surface Cost Variance vs the modeled run, and tell you what moved.

  • Modeled vs Booked — gap shown as "Cost Variance"
  • Bookkeeper CoA PDF for clean handoff
  • Owner-only benefits routed via single PL Review checkbox
Per-AM book
Client book + Pulse

Per-AM worksheet showing files closed, avg sales price, avg fee per file, hold months, and net contribution. Marge reasons portfolio-first off this — never off a single ugly file.

  • Trigger renegotiation only when AM blended is ~25% below company
  • Marge ask: "give me the pulse on [property|AM|month]"
  • Per-AM rejection % feeds the loss ratio
Marge — built in

Your numbers, with a coach who's read them.

Marge runs the 26-lever internal cost playbook BEFORE any AM fee conversation, answers in your wizard's plain English (never snake_case), and pulls you up to the AM's blended book — never coaches off one ugly file.

"Show me where I have headroom on overhead before I call my biggest AM" — Marge ranks all 26 levers by your detected slack and walks the conversation, lever by lever.

Run your numbers — free

Your P&L, your AMs, your overhead. See the per-file net before you commit.

Why brokers actually use it

What the model unlocks

1
Stop subsidizing bad AMs
See per-AM net contribution honestly. Decide which AMs are worth keeping firm with — and which need a renegotiation, a return-pushback, or a graceful exit.
2
Firmer file acceptance
When you know your floor — break-even ASP, true labor-loaded cost — you stop accepting files that look like commission and walk away as cost. Approved broker-side framing, not AM-hostile.
3
See cost variance early
Modeled vs Booked side by side every quarter. >15% Cost Variance is a signal something moved — staffing, mileage, AM mix — not a model error. Catch it before it compounds.

Two ways to get it

Buy Cost Intelligence on its own — or bundle it with the Reimbursement Hub and TrueFile Hub.

Standalone
Cost Intelligence only — $89/mo
The full cost model + quarterly P&L + bookkeeper CoA + Marge for cost questions. No Hub, no Reimbursement Hub. The on-ramp.
Start with Cost Intelligence
With TrueFile™ Solo
Cost Intelligence + Hub + RH — $139/mo
Everything here, plus the Reimbursement Hub feeding Hub data back into the model. Stop running on wizard estimates — run on actuals.
See Solo pricing
Antitrust-safe by design
Banned terminology guardrails everywhere. No outside benchmarks, no external pricing guidance — your numbers, not anyone else's.
Bookkeeper-friendly
Quarterly CoA PDF maps your accounts cleanly. Hand it to your bookkeeper — no model lock-in.
Marge included
Cost coaching built in. Portfolio-first reasoning. 26-lever playbook every time.

Run the numbers honestly. Once.

The wizard takes 45–90 minutes the first time. After that, quarterly P&L sync keeps it living without rebuilding from scratch.

Important Disclaimer

TrueFile is an independent cost-modeling tool. All calculations are based solely on data entered by each subscribing broker from their own financial records. TrueFile does not share pricing data between users, does not suggest what fees to charge, and is not a vehicle for price coordination of any kind.

Every office operates differently. Each broker independently determines their own pricing based on their own costs, their own market, and their own business model. TrueFile is designed to support that independence — not to influence what any broker charges.

Regional benchmarks reflect anonymized operational cost averages only — not commission rates, fee structures, or what any broker charges clients. Commission rates and fee structures are never collected, displayed, or shared on this platform.

This tool does not constitute legal or financial advice. Users are solely responsible for their own business and pricing decisions.
