Your Real Estate Business @ Keller Williams Realty
My name is Aaron Kaufman, and I am the founder of Moving-Careers.com(Read More About Moving-Careers), an online resource for new and experienced agents that are interested in a real estate career at Keller Williams Realty. I have been an active real estate agent in the Atlanta market for the past 6 years, of which my first year was spent with Coldwell Banker and my last five years at Keller Williams Realty. Like many people that enter this industry or even experienced agents at tradtional companies, I really did not understand how all of the real estate companies were different(Read The Dozen Deadly Secrets Every Agent Should Know). Of course, they all have their own different brands and reputations, but I assumed that their basic models for commission, training and education were all the same. After doing a little investigating on my own, I could not believe how wrong I was.

When I was in my first year as an agent at Coldwell Banker, I was fortunate enough to be involved in a transaction with a Keller Williams agent. First and foremost, I was taken back by her level of service, communication and integrity. When we completed our transaction, I decided to ask her a little bit about how life was as an agent at Keller Williams Realty. The first thing that caught my attention, was the fact that she was making a much higher percentage of her commission. As a struggling first year agent, who had to wait tables 6 nights a week in the evenings, I was definitely intrigued by the company’s compensation model. I grew up in Atlanta, went to college at Emory University in Atlanta, so I knew that my clients, who many I had known personally for a long time, would want to work with me regardless of the company that I was affiliated with. Even though I joined the company initially for it’s higher commission splits, the real truth is, that the greatest impact KW has had on my life and business, has been through the unbelievable training, education and support that they provide(Read Our Blogs on KW's Training & Education & Technology & New Agent Training Curriculum ).

KW is inherently different from all other real estate companies, because it is a profit sharing company. The profit sharing money is great(I now actually make more than a 100% of my commission), but it is the effects that profit sharing has on everything else that makes this great company so unique. As a direct result of sharing the profits with the agents and treating them like partners(only open book real estate company), there is a real incentive for the agents to share ideas. This has always been a ‘dog eat dog’ industry, so imagine a company, where the top agents share their ideas, secrets and models with other agents in their office and in the company. It’s what we call a true Win-Win! By sharing ideas, all of our businesses go to a higher level, thus creating more profit sharing and better quality of life for everyone.
The secret of the company's record growth(Now the 4th largest in the country), continues to be it's highest level of agent production and agent retention. When you give your agents: the best training, education and support; share the profits with them and open the books; create a culture where there is a real incentive for the agents to share ideas; teach them how to build a business worth running and a life worth living...why would they ever leave your company? The agent is the reason the company does business...not the other way around!!

Agent Testimonials
Keller Williams Realty's philosophy is that the agent’s image should be first - the company’s second. Most people do business with people, not companies.
Keller Williams Realty Agent Testimonial:
Lisa Pinson
“There are three reasons I made the switch to this company; the overall philosophy of this company to education, and to helping us become the absolutely best we can be personally and professionally; the profit sharing which can be passed on to your heirs after you are gone; and the most important to me, is the people Keller Williams is attracting, from the leadership to the agents to the staff. It is a privilege to work with these people daily.”

Mega Camp Sets the Stage for Success During Any Market
Proven models, leading-edge systems provide framework for success
AUSTIN, TEXAS (September 5, 2007) - Committed to providing agents and market center leaders with targeted training and tools designed to build their businesses during uncertain real estate market conditions, Keller Williams Realty attracted more than 5,000 associates and guests to its annual week-long Mega Camp event August 20-24.
Mark Willis, CEO, Keller Williams Realty, emphasized that real estate markets such as the current one, "offer untold opportunities for agents to differentiate themselves on the basis on skills, service and knowledge," and urged attendees to refine their resolve to sharpen skills and "make lead generation a daily discipline."
Indeed "understanding the need for two to three hours of lead generation every day is central to success in real estate," emphasized Gary Keller, co-founder and chairman. "You need to get focused on the one thing that is going to make your business thrive in this market," Keller emphasized.
Introducing Keller Williams University's (KWU) new Lead Generation 36:12:3 course as the "new cornerstone of KWU's curriculum," Mary Tennant, president and COO, pointed out that the intensely researched curriculum provides a proven pathway for agents to:
Close at least 36 transactions,
In 12 months,
By committing to 3 hours every workday on lead generation,
"This groundbreaking course is our most important new focus as a company right now," added Willis. "It's about arming our agents with practical guidance and a set of skills to raise productivity and to help them to generate a consistent and continuous pipeline of leads."
Mega Camp also provided a forum for the introduction of the new Luxury Homes by Keller Williams program. Slated for an Oct. 1, 2007 debut, Luxury Homes by Keller Williams will provide qualifying members with access to international networking capabilities and distinct branding and marketing opportunities.
Of course, no major Keller Williams Realty event would be complete without the company's signature cultural component. KW Cares, a 501(3)(C) nonprofit created to support associates throughout North America during times of severe hardship, grossed more than $250,000 during Mega Camp. Revenues resulted from ticket sales to a Kenny Loggins concert sponsored by KW Cares, live and silent auctions and general donations.
