Frequently asked questions

Interested in working with Bosshardt Realty but you have questions? We’ve included answers to the most frequently asked questions about our office and how we work on this page. 

General questions

We’ve divided the questions based on experience: in the first section you’ll find questions that apply to agents at all levels; the second section has questions often asked by those beginning careers in real estate; the third section has questions of more interest to more experienced agents looking to make a change.

When hiring sales professionals, Bosshardt seeks those who are self-motivated, independent and entrepreneurial. A real estate license is required; see below for more information on how to obtain this. A background in real estate or related experience is not required. We do require that you be willing to learn and continue to educate yourself throughout your career. Those who embrace our culture and take full advantage of our resources will reap the rewards from a successful career in real estate!

In a commission-based business, you can earn as much as you’d like if you put the effort in. In 2018, Bosshardt agents made an average of $57k in their first year, and overall Bosshardt agents make 51% above the national average.

Keep in mind, though, that income from commissions should not be the only factor in your decision when choosing a brokerage. More important are questions like these:

  • What kind of lead generation is available for agents? 
  • What kind of support is available?
  • What kind of training and mentoring will you receive? 
  • For experienced agents, what are the opportunities for growth?

These are all questions that should be at least as important as your commission.

After passing the state exam, you should start interviewing brokerages. For more information on what to look for, read our resource, “Becoming a Realtor: Important Questions to Ask When Interviewing a Brokerage.”

Although Bosshardt prefers full-time realtors, we understand that is not always an option for everyone. In general, as long as you can attend new realtor training, sales meetings, and start producing within your first year. we are happy to accept part-time realtors.

If you’re an experienced agent and you have questions about part-time or what we might require  in your particular situation, give us a call and let’s talk confidentially about how we might work together.

If you are from another area, you’re a new agent,  or you have not sold in a while, training is going to be very important.

Some brokerages will sit you in front of a computer for training. At Bosshardt Realty, we think we have the best training program around: all of our training is in-person and hands-on. You’ll be given a lot of training in the industry and tips from successful agents, backed by our thirty years of experience in this market.

“I think it’s all about support. When you hire me, and Bosshardt, you’re hiring a marketing department, you’re hiring a whole staff of people that are there for you. ... It’s also the community at Bosshardt, the love that we have for each other and the respect that we have for each other … you just don’t find that anywhere.”
