This keeps everyone on task and has allowed KW to be the only large franchise in the US that is 100% debt free. Join the company that cares about your real estate business today!
“The ‘open book’ aspect is one more demonstration of our willingness to empower our agents,” says Gary Keller, CEO & chairman of Keller Williams Realty International. “We believe every agent to be a Market Center. As such, each agent should be able to run his or her individual business with the same tools we provide to our franchisees and regional directors.”
Agent Leadership Council
Made up of the top 20% of the agents in each office, the ALC is the voice for all the agents. The main purpose of this council is to hold management and ownership accountable in running the market center and allowing associates to have a say in how the office is run. A truly empowering feature that treats agents the same as the owners. We all have a say in how the office is run. The ALC is also essential in helping new agents. Being involved in mentoring and teaching allows new agents to get into production faster.
Sharing Company Profits
As the only company in the industry with a true profit sharing system, KW rewards agents with a portion of company profit for helping the company grow. Instead of wasting millions of dollars on advertising to attract more associates, as most traditional brokerages do, we leave the growth to you, the agent. Help a market center grow by attracting new talent and be financially rewarded for it. It’s a true win-win scenario and the ultimate retirement package for a real estate agent.
Commission Split
The Keller Williams commission structure allows you to make more money than with any other company. Every agent has a cap on the total amount of commissions paid in a given year. Once you reach your cap, you keep 100% of your commissions.
Don’t reach your cap, you’re not required to pay anything.
Our goal is to help grow your business. The office only gets rewarded when you succeed, as it should be.
Real Estate Training
Most people see Keller Williams as a real estate company, but the truth of the matter is we are nothing more than a teaching, training and consulting firm disguised as a real estate company. Our training is what sets us apart from the competition. Teaching our agents to master the market of the moment and have more knowledge of their industry/market than their competitors is what has allowed KW to be the only large real estate company to see positive growth in all economies, not just the good ones.
Business Model
The Keller Williams business model is the glue that holds the pieces together. Having a blueprint of what to do and when to do it is extremely vital in this industry. We’re not just going to throw you out there and say, ‘Good luck, I hope you make it!’ We teach you to follow our proven model that guarantees success if you follow it. Follow the model, it’s that simple!
Ignite
The only new agent training program that teaches you how to run a successful business the right way from day one! Don’t waste your time trying to figure it out yourself, we’ve done all the hard work for you. Just plug in and Ignite your career!
Company Culture
Being part of a company that truly cares about you is extremely hard to find these days. KW puts the needs of its agents first and treats all associates as family. Our motto is ‘God, Family, Then Business.’ When you follow this order, all will be well in your life. We want all associates to have successful careers, but spirituality and family come first!
Cutting-Edge Technology
Keller Williams has set out to change how real estate is done. Most importantly, we are doing this to protect our associates from companies that wish to replace you with technology. By building our own technology platform, KW Command, we have become the Amazon of real estate. You now have the opportunity to give the best customer experience to your clients, providing metrics and customization the real estate industry has ever seen. We continue to forge ahead as a technology company, not a real estate company. Investing $1 billion over the next decade to maintain our edge over the competition will continue to make KW the real estate company of choice.
And the #1 reason to join Keller Williams Realty…
It’s YOUR real estate business! You are in control of your career, not your broker. Traditionally, agents worked for the broker and relied heavily on them to succeed. Keller Williams changed that. We wouldn’t be in business without our associates, so the only thing we want to do is help you build your business. We’re here to empower you with the right tools to build the business you want and deserve.
Don’t wait any longer. You owe it to yourself/your family to have a career worth having, a business worth owning and a life worth living!
