Trueblood Real Estate is making big moves in Kentucky - and now, officially joining Card Nation!

One of the Midwest’s fastest-growing independent real estate brokerages, Trueblood Real Estate is proud to announce its new partnership with University of Louisville Athletics as an official real estate partner. The collaboration marks an exciting new chapter as Trueblood continues expanding across the region and deepening its roots in the Bluegrass State.

“As Trueblood continues to grow across the region, partnering with University of Louisville Athletics is a natural fit, aligning our brand with one of the most recognized and respected institutions in Kentucky,” said Jim Trueblood, Owner of Trueblood Real Estate. “We’re excited to build authentic connections with the Louisville community and are proud to stand alongside Card Nation.”

Trueblood officially expanded into Kentucky at the end of 2025, bringing its innovative real estate services, technology-driven approach, and strong agent culture to buyers, sellers, and real estate professionals across the state. The Kentucky team includes former University of Louisville basketball player Stephan Van Treese and his wife, Lara, adding even more local ties to the growing brokerage presence.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Trueblood Real Estate and welcome them into the Cardinal family,” said Lottie Stockwell, Senior Associate AD/External Relations for University of Louisville Athletics. “At University of Louisville, we are intentional about partnering with organizations that share our commitment to community, integrity, and excellence. Trueblood Real Estate embodies those values, and we look forward to building a partnership that energizes our fanbase while delivering meaningful impact across the Louisville market.”

The new partnership continues Trueblood’s strong support of collegiate athletics throughout the Midwest, joining existing partnerships with Indiana University, Purdue University, and Notre Dame.
