Keller Williams is growing in agents and offices in today's market! Most other companies are losing agents and closing branches left and right. Why is this? As a veteran in the real estate industry since 1996, I have experienced Allen Tate Company, Prudential Carolinas Realty, my own firm for 3 years, RE/MAX Signature Properties and RE/MAX GOLD before finally arriving at my current affiliation with Keller Williams. Each company had its good points and some not so good (including my own firm!). Ultimately it's each agent's own personal best fit. It depends upon things ranging from your broker in charge, the agents you are working around, your company's position in the market and how well they are adapting to the market's current state.
It is this last criteria that I think is the reason for this prestigious JD Power award. Keller Williams is adapting to what agents want in our challenging market. Happy agents lead to happy clients. With the industry changing so rapidly with the mortgage market in an uproar to short sales and foreclosures becoming a large focus to constantly increasing technological dependence in our industry, Keller Williams seems to have done the best job at adapting in those areas. An affordable monthly fee combined with cutting edge web presence and perpetually evolving educational materials make Keller Williams the top contender in today's era of real estate. More and more agents are leaving other firms and coming to Keller Williams. These are top agents in the marketplace too. Agents whom you can be sure do their research and do not make a company switch frivolously.
Again, ultimately the decision depends upon a good fit between agent and company. This is my two cents' worth, but apparently many others feel the same way. Here is the fine print attached to the JD Power award received by Keller Williams.
