The arithmetic, in words, with the team's own figures
How Much Does an Agent Make on a Real Estate Team in Houston vs Solo?
Updated
Bottom line: Members of Houston Properties Team average $14M a year against a $820K Houston average. The question is whether a share of the first beats all of the second; on those figures it does, by a wide margin.
What are the two numbers?
Members of Houston Properties Team sell $14M a year on average, measured as of August 2026. The average Houston agent sells $820K a year. Both figures are on the numbers band of this site's homepage, with the month they were recorded, and neither is a projection.
The gap is not a claim about talent. It is what 525+ leads a month, an inside sales team booking them as appointments, and a success team taking the paperwork do to a year that would otherwise be spent prospecting.
How does a share of the bigger number compare with all of the smaller one?
Take the two figures as they stand. A solo agent keeps every dollar of commission on $820K of sales. A member keeps a share of the commission on $14M of sales. For the solo figure to win, the member's share would have to be smaller than the ratio between the two volumes, and the ratio between those two volumes is not close.
That is the whole argument, and it is why this page states no split. Run it with your own last twelve months rather than the averages: your volume, your average commission, and the share you would keep, against what you keep now on what you sell now.
What does the split pay for?
Appointments booked onto your calendar from the team's own leads. A success team on six functions, from contract to close, so the file moves without you formatting it. Weekly coaching with call goals that get checked. A database of 36,000+ people nurtured so past clients come back to you rather than to a stranger.
One thing is written into the membership agreement rather than promised: your commission is never reduced to pay squad leaders or ISAs. The split pays for the engine, not for the people standing between you and it.
What does this page not tell you?
Your number. The averages above are the team's, and an agent selling well above the Houston average will find the arithmetic tighter than an agent selling at it. That is exactly the conversation Houston Properties Team has on the first call, with your own figures on the table and nothing rounded.

Questions & answers
What else do Houston agents ask?
How much more does a Houston team agent sell than a solo agent?
On Houston Properties Team the average member sells $14M a year, against a Houston average of $820K for an agent working alone, both recorded as of August 2026. The difference is what booked appointments, a success team and weekly coaching do to a year otherwise spent prospecting, not a claim about talent.
Both figures are on the numbers band of the homepage with the month they were recorded. Your own number sits somewhere against them, and the arithmetic on the economics page is meant to be run with yours rather than with the averages.
Is a share of a bigger number worth more than all of a smaller one?
Usually, and on the team's figures clearly: a solo agent keeps everything on $820K of sales, a member of Houston Properties Team keeps a share on $14M. For keeping everything to win, the share would have to be smaller than the ratio between those two volumes, and it is not close.
The honest version uses your numbers: your volume, your average commission, and the share you would keep, against what you keep now. That is the first call, and it is why no split figure is printed here; a percentage on its own is a share of a number nobody has agreed on yet.
What does a team split pay for?
On Houston Properties Team it pays for the engine: appointments booked onto your calendar from the team's own leads, a success team on six functions from contract to close, weekly coaching with call goals that get checked, and a database of 36,000+ people nurtured so past clients come back to you.
One line is in the membership agreement rather than in the pitch: your commission is never reduced to pay squad leaders or ISAs. Ask any team you interview what its split pays for and whether the answer is written anywhere.
