Re/max who? Keller Williams is BACK!

By
Real Estate Agent with Serving Abbotsford, Chilliwack, and the Fraser Valley

Hello to all my Fraser Valley and greater Vancouver readers out there I just wanted to take a minute to let you know what exactly is happening out in Port Coquitlam with the Keller Williams Results Realty. I have a talk to a few associates and other people in my life that have been asking and I am sure you all are asking and wondering the same things.

So before the rumors get out of control and everyone is saying KW is folding in Western Canada.

IT IS NOT. I repeat IT IS NOT!

It basically has been a complicated ownership change. Due to rules and regulations of KW international it is a bit of a process to get new ownership and certain people in positions approved. All the approvals where done in record timing and the new office will be open ASAP.

KW Results turned into a Re/Max Franchise at the discretion of the past ownership team. This is really to bad but they had to do what was best for them.

On the up note and why you are all reading this. On Monday March 2, 2009 a rally was held to see who was going to be staying with Keller Williams. There was over 100 agents there and we had to open a wall to make room for more.

This is an agent driven company run by agents for agents and it is no wonder why there was that much support. If you have any question about KW please feel free to contact me @ 604.807.9020.

New ownership is in place and the official name is Keller Williams Elite Realty. So have no fear there is still a KW agent near you ready and will to help.

The Abbotsford Office is not effected by this change other than the increased level of camaraderie between the agents.

LONG LIVE KELLER WILLIAMS.

Cheers!

I came from a RE/MAX office to KW in late fall last year.  I came just in time to do the SHIFT tour with our office.  It has been great for me so far.  I really like the group coaching.  It keeps me motivated in this "down" market.
