Who Holds a Team Agent Accountable and How Often They Check In
Updated
Bottom line: On Houston Properties Team, your designated mentor in the Squad Leader Program holds you accountable, against weekly call or conversation targets and monthly appointment targets.
Who holds an agent accountable on Houston Properties Team?
Your mentor does. Every agent on the team has a designated mentor through the Squad Leader Program, which is the team's formal mentorship program.
The mentor gives guidance on strategy and keeps you on track toward your goals. Accountable is one of the values the team works by.
How often does a Houston Properties Team agent check in?
Weekly, against numbers you can count. The team's 30/60/90 day plan sets weekly targets for calls or conversations and monthly targets for appointments.
The plan comes in two versions, one for new agents and one for experienced agents. On the experienced version, ISA appointments open to you after the first 30 days.
In the next 30 days, you meet every week with your Squad Leader and the Success Team. That meeting is there to remove bottlenecks in your business.
The full-time inside sales team qualifies those leads, sets the appointments and introduces you to the client.
How do other real estate teams set their check-in rhythm?
Rhythms differ from team to team. In a RE/MAX News article on why agents join teams, one team leader described a full team meeting every other week.
Between those meetings, that team keeps daily group texts going, where agents ask questions and look for advice.
HousingWire, writing for brokers and team leads, points to weekly team meetings or group calls that keep agents current on market conditions and trends. It ties that schedule to loyalty and sharper skills.
A RE/MAX News profile of Florida team leader Jason Flannery puts it in daily terms. His rule is to be accountable to someone every day.
Accountability was also what drew him to building a team in the first place.
On Houston Properties Team, the rhythm is a weekly sitting with your Squad Leader and the Success Team, set against your plan's targets. Sibel Caliskanlar Cope, our Concierge Director, can take you through how that week runs.

Questions & answers
What do Houston agents ask about this?
What does a Squad Leader do for an agent who already has production?
A Squad Leader is a mentor, and every agent on Houston Properties Team is assigned one, whatever their volume. The mentor's work is strategy guidance and keeping you pointed at the goals you set. Production also has a route forward on the team. There is a defined path from Associate Member to Partner Member.
Between check-ins, the numbers come from the support team. In client acquisition and lead conversion, it tracks lead conversions and reports progress, and it audits buyer and listing documents. The same area monitors new leads for immediate follow-up, writes follow-up plans for them and sends lead emails and texts. It also sets appointments for property showings.
Who holds the team itself accountable, above the team leader?
A team still answers to a brokerage. RE/MAX News notes that a team operates under a brokerage even when it functions as its own entity. Houston Properties Team is a group of agents working under one team name, sponsored by Real Brokerage. Our team leaders are Bob Martin and Paige Martin, and the brokerage sits behind the whole team.
A RE/MAX News profile of Florida team leader Jason Flannery gives one example of a broker's part in this. His broker keeps him informed and makes sure his team has the tools it needs, regular coaching among them. Sibel Caliskanlar Cope, our Concierge Director, can take you through how accountability runs on Houston Properties Team, from your mentor up to the team leaders.
Can I shadow my mentor on a live deal before I run one on the team?
Yes. Agents on Houston Properties Team can shadow client appointments and live deals, with hands-on coaching and real-time feedback from their mentor. You see how this team handles a real file, and your mentor answers questions while it is happening instead of afterward. It sits alongside the formal mentorship you already have through the Squad Leader Program.
On a live file here, you also see the support team at work. Its transaction coordination and compliance area manages timelines and deadlines, coordinates inspections and appraisals, and works with title companies and lenders. It also monitors contract compliance, compiles and submits closing documents, and tracks each transaction's status so you get updates as the file moves.
What do clients say on Google?
My husband and I have used Paige Martin and the Houston Properties Team for four separate housing transactions and have had such a good experience that we continuously recommend her team to friends and family.
