Keller Williams Realty
Founded in 1983, Keller Williams Realty Inc. is an international
real estate company with more than 600 offices located across the
United States and Canada. The company began franchising in 1991, and
following years of phenomenal growth and success, became the
fourth-largest U.S. residential real estate firm in North America in
2006. The company has succeeded by treating its associates as partners
and shares its knowledge, policy control and company profits on a
system-wide basis.
Structured for Success
The interdependent business model of Keller Williams Realty
supports agents and brokers working as a team to maximize personal
productivity and company profits.
Most real estate companies operate on a dependent model where the
broker provides leads to salespeople and then offers them a commission,
or they operate on an independent model where agents receive minimal
support from the broker but keep more of the commission. In contrast to
these traditional models, the Keller Williams model fosters a
synergistic environment where both parties succeed through teamwork, by
encouraging agents and brokers to share their best practices with each
other and reward associates who help the company to grow. It is these
industry-changing philosophies that have fueled the recent growth of
Keller Williams Realty past older, more established companies to claim
a top-four spot in the real estate industry.
