Would you consider solar bill credits if you buy or rent in Harris County?

We’re happy to flag a savings plan that includes Harris County renters & homeowners! ACE aims to cut eligible households’ electricity bills by about 20% through credits from off-site solar, with enrollment expected in 2027.

Planned eligibility covers households at or below 80% of area median income, with no upfront enrollment cost.

Thinking about building a team in Houston without taking on payroll? The usual route is to hire a transaction coordinator, sign an office lease, and hope the deals cover both before the support pays off.

On Houston Properties Team, the other route is running a squad. Your name goes on it, your people are in it, and you keep selling. You run a weekly meeting with live script practice, call goals reviewed every week, and time blocking that gets checked.

What sits under the squad belongs to the team: appointments from 525+ monthly leads, a success team that owns the six functions behind every agent, and the coaching structure. You hire nobody. There's no coordinator on your payroll, no marketing assistant, no lease, and no compliance to carry.

The trade is ownership. The leads, the systems and the success team stay with the team, so a squad is part of Houston Properties Team rather than a separate business inside it. You keep your clients, your brand and your own production.

One line from our membership agreement is worth knowing: your commission is never reduced to pay squad leaders or ISAs. A squad leader is paid as a producing agent. Whatever team you talk to, ask where the leader's pay comes from, and ask to see the answer in writing.

If coaching your own group of agents without carrying the overhead is the kind of team you want to run, message Bob or Paige Martin and we'll talk it through.

Has your brokerage just been bought, merged or handed to new leadership? Here are a few things to weigh before you react.

Closing day is when the merger work starts. Advisers quoted in a 2025 HousingWire report said integration usually runs around six months, and longer at bigger companies.

Pay and tools are where the pressure tends to land. In a 2026 HousingWire report, consultants Kulkarni and Cofano said they expect consolidation to end the bigger commission splits. Cofano also expects agents to have little real choice about using broker-provided technology. Read the new agreement for your split, your fees and the systems your CRM and client history would have to live in.

Trust comes first. Do you trust the people now making decisions, and do you get straight answers when you ask them something?

Then look at where your deals came from. Coach Darryl Davis wrote in HousingWire that agents leaning on company leads carry more exposure than agents working a sphere they've built. Go through last year's closings and mark each one: company lead, brand name, past client or sphere.

Give the new leadership a few months and write down what changes. A decision made on that record holds up better than one made the week of the announcement.

If the record points you toward a move, the rebuild is the real cost. On Houston Properties Team, agents start with 34 buyer guides, our listing presentation materials, our own automated CMA comps tool and 2,837 pre-written email templates. A support team handles transaction coordination and compliance, and a full-time inside sales team qualifies the 525+ leads routed to agents each month.

If you're a Houston agent sorting through a merger at your brokerage, message us for a first call. Have last year's closings handy, because we start with where your business comes from.

Would a margarita with your quesabirria convince you to linger at Tacos Doña Lena?

The full-bar plan has us thinking about a longer Spring Branch taco night! Tacos Doña Lena is preparing a move to a bigger Bingle Road space, with margaritas and flautas among the planned additions.

Hammerly stays open until the transition, so keep your pickup address unchanged until the restaurant confirms the move.

Broker owners in Houston, here's what TREC puts on your desk once you hold the license for an entity.

Start with the designated broker seat. A business entity broker needs one individual acting for it who holds an active Texas broker license, is in good standing, and is an officer, manager or general partner. If succession is on your mind, finding that licensed person is often harder than finding a buyer.

Proof of E&O depends on ownership. When the designated broker owns less than 10% of the entity, TREC's Certificate of Insurance form is how the entity shows it carries errors and omissions coverage.

Your sponsored agents' conduct lands on you as well. TREC reviews a complaint against one of them as a complaint against you too, looking at whether you were involved and whether you supervised properly. Their ads fall under you, and an ad that breaks the rules can bring discipline for both of you.

Keep your written advertising policies current, not filed once and forgotten. You and any delegated supervisors also take TREC's six-hour Broker Responsibility Course, which counts toward the 18 hours of CE.

Transaction records stay readily available for at least four years from each closing or contract termination. The newest files hold you the longest.

The claims side is real money. HousingWire reported that Victor Insurance paid $37 million in E&O claims in 2024.

At Real Brokerage, an agent's own E&O policy is primary, and Real's policy may sit behind it as excess coverage if the claim is covered. Real also says its CBR fee is separate from any E&O premium.

Send us a message, and Bob Martin, Paige Martin or Sibel Caliskanlar Cope will go over how that works for an owner and the agents you sponsor, before you decide anything.

What should CityNorth add so the former Greenspoint Mall site still feels useful to the neighborhood?

North Houston is getting a big reset, and we’re especially interested in what fills the gaps around the warehouses! CityNorth plans 1.2 million square feet of industrial space across about 80 acres, while Fitness Connection is slated to stay in a new building.

Mall demolition is expected in October, with the first phase scheduled for early 2028. Retail and services are still being worked out, along with access and landscaping.

Houston agents ask us one thing about Real Brokerage more than anything else: where does revenue share come from?

It comes out of the brokerage's own side of the split. Until an agent caps, Real Brokerage keeps 15 percent of each commission, and the program is paid from that slice, never from the sponsored agent's 85 percent. The agent you sponsor takes home the same amount they would with nobody named at all.

Here are the tiers as Real Brokerage publishes them:
Tier one, the agents you sponsor directly: 5 percent of the company dollar on each of their commissions.
Tier two, the agents they bring in: 4 percent.
Tiers three, four and five: 3, 2 and 1 percent, one level further out each time.

The mix-up we run into most is about what those percentages apply to. They are a share of the brokerage's cut, not of the whole commission. Do the math starting from what Real Brokerage keeps on a closing, then apply the tier.

The deeper tiers open only as your direct sponsored agents are producing, on thresholds Real Brokerage sets in its own terms. A sponsor is paid when the agents they sponsored close transactions, and gets nothing when those agents stall.

The numbers are the same whoever you name as your sponsor, because they are Real Brokerage's. The name decides who answers when you call with a question.

If you want to run this against your own closings, Sibel Caliskanlar Cope, our Concierge Director, will sit down with you and go through it line by line.

Who would you bring to try Hudson House when it opens in Greenside?

The opening day and hours are still TBA, while Greenside targets early 2027 for the district. The oyster-versus-burger debate can start now.
