Questions You Should Ask Any Agent - Part 14

1)Why did you become a real estate agent and how long have you been in the business?

I was born and raised in Idaho, but over the course of college and marriage had lived in other areas for about 7 years. My husband, John and I were living in Tacoma - he was teaching and I was a waitress. The whole situation for a number of reasons wasn't working for us and so we looked into other options. My father had previously been a Chiropractor but had sold his business a few years prior and gotten his Real Estate license. He first got his license to do his own investing and then (somewhat unintentionally) his business took off. After two years (the minimum time required in the business) he got his Real Estate Broker's license and started his own company, Jon Gosche Real Estate. A few years later he was still working, his business was strong and he even had a couple of other agents in his company. The opportunity to come to Boise, get our real estate licenses and work with him came up and we decided to take it. Once we got our license and began working in the family business we realized that it was a good fit for us and that we were good at it! We have now been selling real estate since 2004 and have both been "top producers" and awarded the "circle of excellence" for production volume in every year that we've been in the industry.
