Episode breakdown: high accountability with high support
Breann Green is a third-generation realtor in Oklahoma City. Her grandfather started the brokerage she still works in, and she got her license on her 18th birthday. She went on to become one of the highest-producing solo agents Suneet Agarwal had heard of before building a team in 2021. In this conversation she explains the systems behind that team and the standards that keep it productive.
Prospect from day one and give it 90 days
Breann sold from September through May of her senior year of high school and closed 67 homes in her first year in real estate. She grew up listening to sales training in the car with her dad, so prospecting was the only model she knew. In 2006 she started calling through the White Pages phone book on day one. She prospected after school until about 8:30 at night, worked on her skills, and went home around 10.
She did that for a solid 90 days before her first sale. Even knowing the scripts, it took time for the results to build. She says she treated real estate as having no plan B, and that commitment drove the rest.
Build the team for the right reasons
Her biggest solo year was 210 homes. Instead of feeling proud, she was almost heartbroken, because she realized she had maxed out and couldn’t help more families the next year. A call with a friend who had built a team for the same reason showed her the next step.
Breann says building a team takes more time in the first few years, so you have to do it for the right reasons. Hers were serving more families in Oklahoma City and changing agents’ lives. Before bringing in their first agents in June or July of 2021, she and her husband, Zach, worked out the technology and systems the team would need. Today Zach runs operations, the team has a sales manager and staff, and there are 25 full-time team members.
Automate onboarding, then keep training every week
New agents start with a two-week onboarding process. It covers the technology, the lead sources and how to talk to them, contract writing, and building a schedule and business plan. Breann recorded videos for each training, so the sales manager meets with new agents daily to review homework and answer questions. After onboarding, agents move into weekly Tactical Tuesdays.
The team tracks activity in Follow Up Boss. Breann says the CRM tracks conversations over two minutes well, but not always contacts. So they watch call volume instead. A new agent making 300 calls a week usually makes about 30 contacts, and they track that until the agent is consistently making two sales a month. If an agent keeps missing the standards, they get a warning, and if that doesn’t change, they’re moved off the team. Breann says the first 90 days decide it. Last year the team’s per-agent productivity was 33.
So there’s very high accountability, but we also have very high support.

That support is what gives her permission to hold the line. Leadership is accessible, and top agents help newer ones.
Inspect every lead the team pays for
Breann’s lead rules are specific. Agents make 15 attempts to communicate with each new lead in the first days. Leadership gets reports every morning and evening from agents’ Follow Up Boss lists.
If you think about it, like every lead is money that we’ve paid, and so we’re inspecting that it’s being handled correctly.

Every list should be cleared by the end of the day. When a lead isn’t handled well, the first response is coaching on how the conversation could have gone. If an agent claims 15 leads in a week, she pauses them so they can work those leads and others can catch up. Agents on vacation get paused too.
The team is open about which lead sources go to whom. Newer agents start on certain sources. Sources like Zillow Flex have their own process to qualify, and listing appointments go only to agents who are listing certified. She wants everyone to have a shot at every lead once they’ve shown they’re ready.
Protect the glass balls
Breann says what makes someone a great agent doesn’t make them a great team leader. As a direct, driver personality, she had to learn versatility in her first year, along with a thick skin when people leave. She runs her week by scheduling the important things as appointments. Her framework is glass balls and rubber balls. The team, her marriage and her kids are glass and can’t be dropped. Hobbies and extra trips are rubber and can come out of the schedule when needed.
Key takeaways for team leaders
- Build systems and technology before the first agent joins.
- Record your onboarding training so a sales manager can run it daily.
- Track an activity number you can trust, like weekly calls, and tie it to a clear contact goal.
- Pair strict standards with real support, and decide fit within the first 90 days.
- Set lead rules for attempts, daily list clean-up and pausing agents who claim too many leads.
- Schedule your non-negotiables like appointments and know which ones are glass.
