Even in rough real estate times, Keller Williams Realty continues to thrive (see article below). Why does this matter to you? Well, whether a potential buyer, seller, new Real Estate Agent, or even an existing Agent looking for something more... you probably want to work with a very successful real estate company. Keller Williams (KW) continues to be that, but it's so much more than just the stats and figures below... KW has training that's second to none and a "culture" that can hardly be described, much less duplicated. You've got to visit an office to understand what I'm talking about. Thankfully, most KW offices open their doors to more than just clients. Agents from all companies are generally welcome to stop-in and check out our training for free. Stop by and you'll see Agents helping Agents... even though many are technically "competitors" of one another, we share ideas and receive training from our top Agents; you'll see Agents helping their community... the KW "culture" has always kept our offices plugged into community service and philanthropic endeavors. Recently, we had our greatest community service triumph with thousands of agents from hundreds of offices across the U.S. and Canada participating in "Red Day" on May 14th.  So, in case it doesn't show, I'm proud to be a very successful Agent with, and (in no small part) because of, the very successful company that is Keller Williams Realty... affectionately known to those within simply as "KW". The article below is just further proof of what most KW Agents and Staff already knew...

We are proud to announce that two of the most prestigious research and media organizations in our industry have confirmed what we believe is one of the most awesome trends in real estate: As our competitors slip backwards, Keller Williams Realty is gaining ground.

The annual RISMedia Power Broker Survey and the REAL Trends 500 Report, recently released, offer definitive proof of this trend.

This year, Keller Williams Realty had more brokerages — based on closed transactions and closed volume — on both lists than any other real estate franchise. We also outranked all others on the reports in terms of number of agents added and total closed transactions.

On RISMedia’s Power Broker Survey, Keller Williams Realty again had the largest majority on the list — accounting for 35 percent of all the brokerages listed — 57 percent higher than any other real estate company.

As for REAL Trends: 143 Keller Williams franchises made the cut. We represent 25 percent of the entire report.  Click here to see our official press release on these results.

Let there be no doubt, the tide is turning toward Keller Williams Realty.

Like I said, I'm proud to be a part of such a great company. I love it here, and not because our corporate office tells us KW is great, but because of the "culture" and teh feeling I get when I go to work each day. I love my office and the friendships I've formed there, I love our training and sharing of ideas, I love giving back to our community with my friends/co-workers, and I love our regional and international events with KW Agents from all over sharing and growing together. I love the KW "culture"!

If you have questions about KW, or are thinking about getting your real estate license or moving brokerages, give me a call just to talk. No pressure, I promise... but no matter where you live or work (i.e. even if it's not even in Texas), I'd love to share why KW Agents are so passionate about helping Buyers, Sellers, our communities, and even other Agents.
