HOW TO THRIVE AS A NEW REAL ESTATE AGENT IN HOUSTON: A STARTER GUIDE FROM THE SUMBERA TEAM

Starting your real estate career in a fast-paced market like Houston can feel exciting and overwhelming all at once. You’ve got big goals, a brand-new license, and a desire to help people find their dream homes. So what’s next?

At The Sumbera Team, we believe that success in real estate starts with the right tools, support, and mindset. Whether you’re fresh out of real estate school or transitioning from another industry, here’s how to thrive as a new agent in Houston.

💡 1. Learn the Local Market Inside and Out

Houston is a city of neighborhoods, each with its own unique vibe, price points, and buyer personas. From Montrose to Katy and The Woodlands to Pearland, it’s important to understand what makes each area stand out.

📍Pro tip: Stay plugged into market reports, builder trends, and MLS data. The more confident you are about the market, the more trust you’ll build with clients.

💬 2. Get Mentorship and Join a Team That Actually Cares

Going solo can be tough. That’s why many new agents choose to start with a team. At The Sumbera Team, our mentorship program and in-house coaching are designed to help you build your pipeline, stay accountable, and get hands-on experience that books business.

✅ Real-world scripts
✅ Lead generation support
✅ Weekly team huddles
✅ Administrative and marketing help

We set you up for success so you’re never navigating the field alone.

📱 3. Build Your Personal Brand Early

People buy from those they know and trust. Make sure your personal brand reflects your values and expertise.

• Use your social media to showcase local knowledge and wins
• Share behind-the-scenes moments as a new agent
• Don’t be afraid to show your personality. Clients love working with someone relatable

Need help creating content? Our team helps with that too.

🚀 4. Stay Consistent and Focus on Daily Wins

It’s easy to get discouraged when results don’t show up right away. Focus on daily tasks that build momentum:

• Make calls
• Send texts
• Attend open houses
• Follow up with leads
• Learn from every showing and client call

Real estate is a long game. And consistent effort always wins.

🙌 5. Celebrate the Small Victories

Your first listing, first showing, first appointment — they all matter. Celebrate them. Share them. Learn from them. At The Sumbera Team, we believe every win is a step forward. And we’re here to cheer you on every step of the way.
