BDM Hiring Guide (Real Estate)
Real Estate Recruitment

How to Hire a Real Estate BDM in Australia

Hiring a BDM is one of the highest-leverage decisions a principal makes — and one of the easiest to get wrong. Here's how to do it well.

01

Define the target before the job ad

Doors per month, fee target, prospecting territory, support model. Without these your BDM ad attracts everyone — and the wrong one will look great in interview.

02

Commission structure

Per-door, per-managed-fee, or hybrid. Each drives different behaviour. We'll help you pick a model that aligns acquisition with retention.

03

What to screen for

Prospecting discipline, conversion rate, story-telling, resilience and CRM hygiene. Behavioural questions and a live role-play beat hypothetical interviews every time.

04

Onboarding the first 90 days

Territory map, CRM set-up, listings/marketing pack, 30/60/90 day pipeline targets. A great BDM still needs structure to ramp.
