"The success of Keller Williams Realty can be directly attributed to the hard work and perseverance of our associates and the soundness of our economic and organizational models," said Mark Willis, CEO of Keller Williams Realty, Inc. "While others might be looking at this market and seeing fear and uncertainty, we have always approached it as our opportunity to shine and grow. And that mindset has paid off."

Through profit share, our phenomenal coaching and training and our technology offerings, we are offering agents their own "bailout plan' for this market," Willis added.


The company also announced that after years of searching for a partnership to provide its associates with affordable health insurance, they are moving forward with a solution.


The soon-to-be-launched Keller Williams Health Providers Program will include options for major medical, limited medical, catastrophic coverage and a separate cancer plan. The health insurance coverage is the first step toward a total wellness program for associates.


"We have always been very aware that as independent contractors, our agents face barriers to obtaining health coverage," said Mary Tennant, president and COO of Keller Williams Realty. "We know that for many, this new option may alleviate some of the stress that they face in today's economy. After all, our associates are not just our partners - they are our family."

I have become aware of Keller Williams' plan to provide health care in some form or format.  I must say that is a breath of fresh air.  I have been in the business quite a while and have never heard anything even whispered about health care for Realtors, even as an attorney it is difficult depending on the size of your firm to get full medical health insurance.  I welcome this concept especially when it's brought by such a great company.

This is another sterling example of Keller Williagin seeking ways to make it a truly a win-win for their associates. It is definitely refreshing and I'm glad that I was fortunate enough to begin with such an innovative company.
