AGENT TESTIMONIALS
‘We are with a company that is always going to be on the cutting edge’
Michele Loeffler: I have been with Carol Bosshardt’s office
for 19 years, and I can’t think of another company I would
rather be with. Carol is always innovative and I just feel like
she can keep us the premier real estate company, always in
the forefront.
Susan Ash: When I retired as a teacher in Alachua County
and chose to go into real estate, there was only one company I would consider joining - Bosshardt Realty. It has been
No. 1 in sales for years and has an excellent reputation for
its community involvement.
Craig Wilburn: We really enjoy having the ability to share
with people that we are with a company that is always going
to be on the cutting edge, and always going to be doing
things a lot of other companies will not do.
Mike Floyd: The reason BRS is the most successful company in town is that they have the best collection of agents in
the area.
Susan Baird: One of the primary lessons I learned from my
MBA at the University of Michigan is to join the team that is
poised to be the best in 10-20 years. Eight years ago, Bosshardt was No. 2 but climbing. With its outstanding leadership
I could see that it wouldn’t be long before it became No.1.
Jamie Coons: When I was looking for a real estate company
to associate myself with, I looked to Bosshardt as a leader in
the industry. The values held by Bosshardt embody my personal philosphy of community, family, and above all, integrity!
John Thomas: After spending 30 years in sales and marketing
with a Fortune 500 company, I returned to Gainesville to start a
second career. It didn’t take me long to realize Bosshardt offers
its customers the same level of “commitment to service” the
corporate giants do.
Mary Smith: Carol’s dedication, support, and community
involvement are what created Bosshardt and what makes
it tick on a daily basis. It is simple to explain why I work for
Bosshardt: When you have an owner and management that
care, the agents care, and then the customers become part
of the framework.
Heather Doughton: The Bosshardt Company is the
ultimate real estate “Teamwork Machine,” well oiled with
experience, knowledge, and ethics and a sincere interest of
dedication to its customers and community.
Ericka Gilchrist: Before I did any interviewing, I knew I
wanted to work for Bosshardt Realty due to the awesome
presence it had in Gainesville and surrounding counties.
After interviewing with other companies, it was clear that
Bosshardt’s goal in real estate was excellence!
Janice Grounds: I never considered working for any other
company, and after almost four years, still would not work
for any other broker. We have the best support - management, marketing, IT - and the best Realtors® who are
often a total joy to work with.
Kristi Cajoleas: One of the most favorable distinctions at
Bosshardt is its agents. I feel very fortunate to go to work
every day and be in the company of competent, helpful,
hard-working people.
Gary B. Schneider: We’re No. 1 because of the “5 Bs”:
1- Best training
2- Best marketing
3- Best associates
4- Best management
5- Best owner-leader
Cindy Harrington: Here at Bosshardt, you will find:
The most successful brokerage in town in terms of size and
results, a dedicated staff behind the scenes, a professional,
educated and generous group of Realtors, a management staff that cheers on its associates, and customers who
cheer us on through repeat business and referrals.

CUSTOMERS FOR LIFE
THE KEY TO OUR SUCCESS
“A customer deserves the most courteous attention we can
give him. He is the lifeblood of this and every business. He
pays your salary. Without him, we would have to close
our doors. Never forget it.”
Sam Walton, Founder of Wal-Mart
B
osshardt Realty’s “Customer For Life”
program engages the staff and associates in the
principles of the company’s corporate culture,
which enables them to recognize an unwavering
commitment to enhancing the overall real estate
experience. We are here to build and improve customer
acquisition and retention. We will build and maintain
long customer relationships more than ever before. By
continually thinking in terms of “Customers for Life,”
our continued success will be assured.
Here’s what some sellers had to say about their Bosshardt Sales Associates
Sandra Lehrer was wonderful!
This was the third house she sold
for us. She is great!
My house was on the
market for a year when
Mitchell Martin took it
over. It was sold within
three weeks. He is very
professional and kept me
informed as we went along.
Leslie Steen did a great job. We
were pleased with the skills and
service when we bought our
condo, and we called her again
when we needed to sell it.
My family and I have used Ricky
Buchholz’s services in buying two
condos, one house, and selling one
condo. I found Ricky to be a very
knowledgeable, experienced, and
trustworthy Realtor. He was 100%
behind me in all our interactions.
This is the second time we have
dealt with Inge Larsen relating
to the sale of a house. She is the
ultimate professional. I would not
think of dealing with another agent
if Inge were available!
Kristen Rabell’s knowledge of the market
allowed us to list our house at the right price
and it sold in two days. We could not have
gotten better advice. She was always on top
of repairs and paperwork.
Doug Baril was an absolute
pleasure from beginning to end.
He sold our house within two
months, close to the asking price.
He was absolutely terrific.
I was deployed to Iraq. Martha Jane
Green took care of everything and only
saw me one time, after everything was
closed. Thank you for all of your help! Bobby and Debbie Houdershelt sold
me my first home here in Florida two
Tiffany Thomas was all we
could have hoped for and
years ago. I did not hesitate to contact
more. We switched to her
from a different Realtor
them when I got my divorce. Even
and agency and it was like
though it was a very long struggle,
night and day!
Bobby was perfect to the end.
Jamie Coons was wonderful to
work with and we would highly
recommend her to anyone. She is
professional, efficient, friendly and
a pleasure to work with.

W
When I started in real estate in 1976, I, like you, was a homeowner with a vision of how real estate
business should be done. I founded my company in 1987 on the premise of providing “True Customer Service” by doing the job right! In 1993 I was a state finalist for entrepreneur of the year.
In 2001 I received the distinguished Paul Harris Service Award, and in 2006 I received my MBA
in entrepreneurial studies from the University of Florida. All along the way I’ve learned it takes
great people to make great things happen. You are going to need a great agent and a great company
to get the best results in this challenging real estate market. Don’t settle for anything less than the
very best.
Closing more than $1.4 billion in real estate since 2006, Bosshardt Realty is equipped with a team
of agents and staff known for their professionalism, integrity and hard work. For three years running, 98% of our customers said they were so satisfied with our services they would recommend no
one but Bosshardt Realty to their friends and family. (The national average is only 68%.) We have
nearly 1,000 surveys on file and would be happy to provide references upon request.

Sincerely,
Carol Bosshardt, CEO
Director of Marketing and Design
Before joining Bosshardt Realty Services, Inc., in 2004, Carol worked for nine
years as the in-house design consultant
for Atlantic Design & Construction, a
premier local builder and developer.
While at Atlantic Design, Carol oversaw
all the interior and exterior design elements of the company’s projects including the Mentone
subdivision, Park View in Haile Plantation, Magnolia
Grand at the Villages, and countless custom homes.
Since joining the Gainesville Design Group, Carol has
been fortunate to continue her passion for design by
staging models in the Belmont subdivision, Cricket
Club, Windsor Park and Campus View condominiums,
and clubhouses at Longleaf Village and Cricket Club.
Or does it get lost in the crowd?
In today’s fiercely competitive real estate market, it’s not enough to have
a GOOD house. You have to have a GREAT house, a house that stands
apart from the rest. You want a house that potential buyers can’t get out of
their minds. Sometimes you can achieve this on your own, but more often
than not you could use a little help from a professional designer who can be
objective, yet creative, when it comes to “staging” your home.
The difference between ‘decorating’ and ‘staging’
S
imply put, decorating is the art of
transforming an everyday living
space into a one-of-a-kind residence
that reflects the owners’ personal tastes.
It’s about mixing and matching colors, textures, patterns, finishes, furnishings, and
accessories to create an environment compatible with the owners’ specific lifestyle.
And that’s the last thing you want them to
do! You want your home to be a standout;
to grab their attention and stick in their
minds until they call their sales associate
to see it again. Remember: the right house,
in the right condition, in the right location,
at the right price will sell. And that’s something you can take to the bank.
Staging, on the other hand, is about “depersonalizing” a home to make it appeal to
as wide a range of potential buyers as possible. And that’s not as easy as it sounds.
It’s hard to be objective when it comes to
removing the “you factor” from your home,
but just because something works for you
and your family doesn’t mean it will work
for someone else.
For instance, you may think the crimson
glaze you had sponged onto the kitchen
walls is worthy of a magazine cover; all
that buyers see is red. Or your grandmother’s heirloom dining room set with table,
eight chairs, matching sideboard, server,
curio cabinet, and plant stand may bring
tears to your eyes; buyers can only cry
at how hopelessly small the room is and
scratch your home off their list.

In the Gainesville-Alachua County market, Bosshardt Realty led all
companies in 2009 with over 17.7% of annual sales volume and over
800 transactions. That’s more than any other real estate company can
claim. In fact, it’s more than most of the other local realty firms combined can claim!

television “get-rich-quick” programs would have you believe. A simple
miscalculation could result in losses of thousands of dollars. Bosshardt’s
expert team of sales associates is highly trained to ensure you get the
best deal possible when you buy or sell a property. Bosshardt Realty
has more than 100 sales associates who are ready to provide the knowledge, negotiating skills, and dedicated service essential to achieving the

GETTING YOUR PROPERTY SOLD
CHOOSING A REAL ESTATE COMPANY
C
hoosing the right real estate
company to meet your unique
needs is one of the most important
decisions you will ever make. If you are
like most people, your home will be your
single biggest investment; obviously, not
something to be left to chance.
Yet most buyers and sellers have little, if
any, practical experience when it comes
to buying, selling, or investing in real
estate. Here are five tips to help you
choose the real estate company that will
be there for you and your family every
step of the way.
1.
Select the most successful companies in your area. Check the newspaper ads, search on
the web, ask local residents, and look for yard signs around town to find out who those
companies are.
2.
Visit each company’s web site. Spend at least 15 minutes searching for what you feel is
your home’s competition. Did you find useful information? Did you find something you
would like to buy? If you didn’t, neither will your home’s future owner.
3.
Ask for testimonials or references for the company. How do their past customers feel
about them and their service? Will the company you choose ask for their opinion after
the sale? In any service industry, reputation is all a company really has to offer, so it is
important to find out their standards of service.
4.
Call the managing broker of each company and ask him or her who is the best agent to
list your home. Then follow up with the question, “Would you list with him or her, and
why?” Ask any other questions you would like to know. The managing broker should be
happy to speak with you.
M
ost home sellers have an estimated date by which they need to have
their home sold. Bosshardt Realty has the lowest average “Days on
Market,” which means that, on average, we will sell your home faster
than any other firm in town. Make sure to communicate your time frame to your
Bosshardt agent, and we will recommend how to price, prepare, and market your

her credentials represent what you are looking for in an agent. (See the “Choosing a Real

CHOOSING A REAL ESTATE AGENT
WE’RE HELPING TO BUILD A BETTER COMMUNITY
PALS
PARTNERS IN ADOLESCENT
T
he goal of the PALS (Partners in Adolescent Lifestyle Support) program is to emphasize tolerance, nonviolence, altruism,
positive self-image and leadership through continuing ongoing
weekly intervention during the school year. Bosshardt’s contribution
enabled PALS to get off the ground running.
LIFESTYLE SUPPORT
The PALS program, overseen by professionals from Shands at Vista,
provides peer support and therapeutic intervention to troubled students
as well as enhancing leadership skills for teen leaders. This is achieved
through peer counseling classes, therapeutic groups led by professionals and peers, and programs that provide an altruistic, tolerant, nonviolent atmosphere in the school where diversity is welcomed.
Teen leaders gain enhancement of character attributes such as empathy, compassion and an understanding of human diversity. The teens
experiencing emotional difficulties gain a sense of belonging, self-esteem and PALS.
Experience and a Proven Track Record Matter!
“PALS is currently in five Alachua County schools: Fort Clarke Middle School, Buchholz High School, Eastside High School, Gainesville
High School and A. Quinn Jones Center. PALS offers programming
that is tailored to meet the needs of each specific school population.
O
nce you have chosen a real estate company, you will
need to choose a licensed real estate agent from that
company to respresent you in selling your home. Wheth-
Fort Clarke Middle School has a lunch group social support group
program and a PALS leadership club.
Buchholz High School has a PALS leadership group that mentors elementary students at Rawlings Elementary School and a female at risk
support group.
Eastside High School has an IB support group, teen pregnancy support
group, and at risk female therapy group.
Gainesville High School has an at risk female peer mentoring group,
at risk teen therapy group, and at risk male athlete support group.
1.
Contact the agent or agents you are considering to set up an interview. You will want to
interview the agent before deciding or signing any paperwork to see if you will work well
together.
2.
Ask for references and testimonials. Don’t trust your most prized assets with anyone who
hasn’t received glowing references. If the agent is new to real estate, you can get personal
references from friends and previous employers.
3.
Ask the agent about his or her past training and experience. Does the agent have advanced
designations?
4.
Get a detailed description of how the agent would market your home. Find out if he or she
will be placing advertisements in the newspaper, on the Internet, in magazines, etc. Discuss
what will be the most effective way to find a buyer for your home.
5.
Make sure you are comfortable with the agent’s philosophies and ethics. It is important that
you and your agent are on the same page, and that you feel he or she will represent you
well during the process.
6.
Make sure the agent’s presentation covers everything you’ve already found in your research of the company.
A. Quinn Jones has a behavior management program in which students earn points to attend weekly McDonalds Breakfasts.

making you more money. (You can see below that our list-to-sell variance, which is the amount our listings sell
for under list price, shows that with comprehensive marketing and experienced sales associates you win!)

GETTING YOUR PROPERTY SOLD
C
hoosing the right real estate
company to meet your unique
needs is one of the most important
decisions you will ever make. If you are
like most people, your home will be your
single biggest investment; obviously, not
something to be left to chance.
Yet most buyers and sellers have little, if
any, practical experience when it comes
to buying, selling, or investing in real
estate. Here are five tips to help you
choose the real estate company that will
be there for you and your family every
step of the way.
1.
Select the most successful companies in your area. Check the newspaper ads, search on
the web, ask local residents, and look for yard signs around town to find out who those
companies are.
2.
Visit each company’s web site. Spend at least 15 minutes searching for what you feel is
your home’s competition. Did you find useful information? Did you find something you
would like to buy? If you didn’t, neither will your home’s future owner.
3.
Ask for testimonials or references for the company. How do their past customers feel
about them and their service? Will the company you choose ask for their opinion after
the sale? In any service industry, reputation is all a company really has to offer, so it is
important to find out their standards of service.
4.
Call the managing broker of each company and ask him or her who is the best agent to
list your home. Then follow up with the question, “Would you list with him or her, and
why?” Ask any other questions you would like to know. The managing broker should be
happy to speak with you.
M
ost home sellers have an estimated date by which they need to have
their home sold. Bosshardt Realty has the lowest average “Days on
Market,” which means that, on average, we will sell your home faster
than any other firm in town. Make sure to communicate your time frame to your
Bosshardt agent, and we will recommend how to price, prepare, and market your

Go back to the web site and search the recommended agent’s bio page. Find out if his or
her credentials represent what you are looking for in an agent. (See the “Choosing a Real
Estate Agent” section for more details.)
After researching the companies in the Gainesville area, we think you’ll find that
Bosshardt Realty is by far your best bet to sell your home. The next few pages contain even more information that may help you in your decision.

When I started in real estate in 1976, I, like you, was a homeowner with a vision of how real estate
business should be done. I founded my company in 1987 on the premise of providing “True Customer Service” by doing the job right! In 1993 I was a state finalist for entrepreneur of the year.
In 2001 I received the distinguished Paul Harris Service Award, and in 2006 I received my MBA
in entrepreneurial studies from the University of Florida. All along the way I’ve learned it takes
great people to make great things happen. You are going to need a great agent and a great company
to get the best results in this challenging real estate market. Don’t settle for anything less than the
very best.
Closing more than $1.4 billion in real estate since 2006, Bosshardt Realty is equipped with a team
of agents and staff known for their professionalism, integrity and hard work. For three years running, 98% of our customers said they were so satisfied with our services they would recommend no

Sincerely,
Carol Bosshardt, CEO
Director of Marketing and Design
Before joining Bosshardt Realty Services, Inc., in 2004, Carol worked for nine
years as the in-house design consultant
for Atlantic Design & Construction, a
premier local builder and developer.
While at Atlantic Design, Carol oversaw
all the interior and exterior design elements of the company’s projects including the Mentone
subdivision, Park View in Haile Plantation, Magnolia
Grand at the Villages, and countless custom homes.
Since joining the Gainesville Design Group, Carol has
been fortunate to continue her passion for design by
staging models in the Belmont subdivision, Cricket
Club, Windsor Park and Campus View condominiums,
and clubhouses at Longleaf Village and Cricket Club.
Or does it get lost in the crowd?
In today’s fiercely competitive real estate market, it’s not enough to have
a GOOD house. You have to have a GREAT house, a house that stands
apart from the rest. You want a house that potential buyers can’t get out of
their minds. Sometimes you can achieve this on your own, but more often
than not you could use a little help from a professional designer who can be
objective, yet creative, when it comes to “staging” your home.
The difference between ‘decorating’ and ‘staging’
S
imply put, decorating is the art of
transforming an everyday living
space into a one-of-a-kind residence
that reflects the owners’ personal tastes.
It’s about mixing and matching colors, textures, patterns, finishes, furnishings, and
accessories to create an environment compatible with the owners’ specific lifestyle.
And that’s the last thing you want them to
do! You want your home to be a standout;
to grab their attention and stick in their
minds until they call their sales associate
to see it again. Remember: the right house,
in the right condition, in the right location,
at the right price will sell. And that’s something you can take to the bank.
Staging, on the other hand, is about “depersonalizing” a home to make it appeal to
as wide a range of potential buyers as possible. And that’s not as easy as it sounds.
It’s hard to be objective when it comes to
removing the “you factor” from your home,
but just because something works for you
and your family doesn’t mean it will work
for someone else.
For instance, you may think the crimson
glaze you had sponged onto the kitchen
walls is worthy of a magazine cover; all
that buyers see is red. Or your grandmother’s heirloom dining room set with table,
eight chairs, matching sideboard, server,
curio cabinet, and plant stand may bring
tears to your eyes; buyers can only cry
at how hopelessly small the room is and
scratch your home off their list.

Here’s what some sellers had to say about their Bosshardt Sales Associates
Sandra Lehrer was wonderful!
This was the third house she sold
for us. She is great!
My house was on the
market for a year when
Mitchell Martin took it
over. It was sold within
three weeks. He is very
professional and kept me
informed as we went along.
Leslie Steen did a great job. We
were pleased with the skills and
service when we bought our
condo, and we called her again
when we needed to sell it.
My family and I have used Ricky
Buchholz’s services in buying two
condos, one house, and selling one
condo. I found Ricky to be a very
knowledgeable, experienced, and
trustworthy Realtor. He was 100%
behind me in all our interactions.
This is the second time we have
dealt with Inge Larsen relating
to the sale of a house. She is the
ultimate professional. I would not
think of dealing with another agent
if Inge were available!
Kristen Rabell’s knowledge of the market
allowed us to list our house at the right price
and it sold in two days. We could not have
gotten better advice. She was always on top
of repairs and paperwork.
Doug Baril was an absolute
pleasure from beginning to end.
He sold our house within two
months, close to the asking price.
He was absolutely terrific.
I was deployed to Iraq. Martha Jane
Green took care of everything and only
saw me one time, after everything was
closed. Thank you for all of your help! Bobby and Debbie Houdershelt sold
me my first home here in Florida two
Tiffany Thomas was all we
could have hoped for and
years ago. I did not hesitate to contact
more. We switched to her
from a different Realtor
them when I got my divorce. Even
and agency and it was like
though it was a very long struggle,
night and day!
Bobby was perfect to the end.
Jamie Coons was wonderful to
work with and we would highly
recommend her to anyone. She is
professional, efficient, friendly and
a pleasure to work with.

AGENT TESTIMONIALS
‘We are with a company that is always going to be on the cutting edge’
Michele Loeffler: I have been with Carol Bosshardt’s office
for 19 years, and I can’t think of another company I would
rather be with. Carol is always innovative and I just feel like
she can keep us the premier real estate company, always in
the forefront.
Susan Ash: When I retired as a teacher in Alachua County
and chose to go into real estate, there was only one company I would consider joining - Bosshardt Realty. It has been
No. 1 in sales for years and has an excellent reputation for
its community involvement.
Craig Wilburn: We really enjoy having the ability to share
with people that we are with a company that is always going
to be on the cutting edge, and always going to be doing
things a lot of other companies will not do.
Mike Floyd: The reason BRS is the most successful company in town is that they have the best collection of agents in
the area.
Susan Baird: One of the primary lessons I learned from my
MBA at the University of Michigan is to join the team that is
poised to be the best in 10-20 years. Eight years ago, Bosshardt was No. 2 but climbing. With its outstanding leadership
I could see that it wouldn’t be long before it became No.1.
Jamie Coons: When I was looking for a real estate company
to associate myself with, I looked to Bosshardt as a leader in
the industry. The values held by Bosshardt embody my personal philosphy of community, family, and above all, integrity!
John Thomas: After spending 30 years in sales and marketing
with a Fortune 500 company, I returned to Gainesville to start a
second career. It didn’t take me long to realize Bosshardt offers
its customers the same level of “commitment to service” the
corporate giants do.
Mary Smith: Carol’s dedication, support, and community
involvement are what created Bosshardt and what makes
it tick on a daily basis. It is simple to explain why I work for
Bosshardt: When you have an owner and management that
care, the agents care, and then the customers become part
of the framework.
Heather Doughton: The Bosshardt Company is the
ultimate real estate “Teamwork Machine,” well oiled with
experience, knowledge, and ethics and a sincere interest of
dedication to its customers and community.
Ericka Gilchrist: Before I did any interviewing, I knew I
wanted to work for Bosshardt Realty due to the awesome
presence it had in Gainesville and surrounding counties.
After interviewing with other companies, it was clear that
Bosshardt’s goal in real estate was excellence!
Janice Grounds: I never considered working for any other
company, and after almost four years, still would not work
for any other broker. We have the best support - management, marketing, IT - and the best Realtors® who are
often a total joy to work with.
Kristi Cajoleas: One of the most favorable distinctions at
Bosshardt is its agents. I feel very fortunate to go to work
every day and be in the company of competent, helpful,
hard-working people.
Gary B. Schneider: We’re No. 1 because of the “5 Bs”:
1- Best training
2- Best marketing
3- Best associates
4- Best management
5- Best owner-leader
Cindy Harrington: Here at Bosshardt, you will find:
The most successful brokerage in town in terms of size and
results, a dedicated staff behind the scenes, a professional,
educated and generous group of Realtors, a management staff that cheers on its associates, and customers who
cheer us on through repeat business and referrals.
