KW Rainers Group INTRO- Please Read...

By
Real Estate Agent with The Artisan Group- Keller Williams Premier Realty

Hello to all my fellow KW 'Rainers!  I am still wrapping my mind around all the ins and outs of these new groups. There has been a lot of confusion, so I am posting this in hopes of clearing up some confusion and clarifying my intention with this particular group. Please bear with me...

"Active Rain Memebers who are a part of, or follow the Keller Williams Philosophy. Follow current KW events and brainstorm for future get togethers - like Family Reunion, Masterminds, trainings and seminars."

Here are ideas of posts that I see that will "fit" in this group:

  • Keller Williams Evangelism (What a great place to COMBAT wrong perceptions of our company!)
  • KW ideas and models (Laura Monroe gives a good example HERE)
  • KW philosophies and structure (HERE is one that I just did)
  • Keller Williams culture and society (KWCares ...?)
  • KW Event Planning (...like ..."HEY! Where are all the KW 'Rainers going to meet up at Reunion??)
  • KW Event re-caps (Like John Novak's Millionaire Mondays)

I encourage any posts that promote any of these ideas/ ideals. This group was intended to be a "Source of Information" about all the aspects of Keller Williams. I also think that it will be a great place to "plan" for future KW events, as well as "regroup" after KW events.

Furthermore, this will be an excellent opportunity to "showcase" your professionalism and generate some great KW referrals!

I do not see this as a "dumping ground" (sorry!) for any blog written by a KW agent. I am trying to narrow down the focus- making it a more cohesive, less chaotic group. Thank you for your understanding, and I would love to hear your feedback.

Hi Erica- It is the agent who is somewhere "else" first that really, truly appreciates all that KW has to offer. We were in the same boat. I am so glad that we found KW - or should I say, I am so glad that KW found us!

I started my real estate carrer at KW, and I am grateful!  I listen closely to comments from agents who have worked at other companies and share that information when enlightening people about how fantastic KW really is.

Mariana, thank you for being so active at KW and sharing your wealth of knowledge!

I must agree with the atmosphere and education at the KW offices I work with here in Central Florida is outstanding  I've even referred a few of my agent friends to move their license and they are so happy they did.  What a fabulous organization!

Thank you for making this group, I too started my real estate career with Keller Williams,  how very fortunate for me.. .I LOVE THIS COMPANY and its family.  Being at the MOTHERSHIP  of KW Market Center #1 in Austin Texas,I feel especially blessed.  If you get a chance to see Gary Keller and the QUANTUM LEAP its very worthwhile.  With a slowing market in many areas of the country its go back to the basic and work your plan. Lead generation is more important than ever.   I would love to hear how other parts of the country are doing and share information.

I have been a KW agent for around 5 years now (going on 12 years in the business) and it is the best company ever.  I just went back on our ALC  for a second time and I really want to make our office even better.  We have been blessed to be profitable from Day 1 when we opened with 62 agents - we are now at around the 240 mark.  I just joined AR yesterday and I know that it will be a great resource for me.  Mariana, thanks for setting this group up so we can stay in touch and really work to spread the KW culture throughout our industry.

Nice job with this Group. I have been with KW since March of 06 and currently serve on the Central Rhode Island Market Center ALC and the Regional ALC as well. 

The education, systems and models and the culture have allowed me to get my business up and running much quicker than I would have in another environment.

 I look forward to being a part of this group.

Thanks for starting the group, Mariana.  I've just become a member of Active Rain and KW Rainers.  I already feel that I have made friends with many of the group.  We're having our ALC 2008 retreat at the end of this month & I'll post our Ah-hahs afterwords.
