Assigning a mentor or buddy. Every time.
It’s simple, it’s scalable, and it works. When a new agent has someone they can text, call, or grab coffee with, they’re more likely to ask questions, stay engaged, and feel like they belong.
But don’t just assign a buddy and hope for the best. Give them a framework. Set expectations. Maybe it’s a weekly check-in, maybe it’s shadowing a listing appointment, maybe it’s just being available for “dumb” questions (which, by the way, are never dumb).
And don’t forget to recognize your mentors. A little public praise or a gift card goes a long way in keeping your culture strong.
