Keller Williams Philosophy -
"Agents as Partners"  KELLER WILLIAMS REAL ESTATE
|
|
Keller Williams is one of the most innovative and fastest growing real estate companies in North America. The genesis for Keller Williams Realty Inc. evolved out of Gary Keller's desire to build a real estate company that valued ethics, integrity, and people. Gary founded the company on the premise that as a servant leader he would work for his agents, treat them as partners, and even share company profits with them. |
The company began franchising its offices in 1991, and following years of phenomenal growth and success, Keller Williams Realty became the fifth largest real estate franchise firm in North America. Currently, the company has more than 370 offices (including 21 in Pennsylvania) and more than 35,000 agents in the U.S. and Canada. The company has succeeded by treating its 35,000 - plus associates as partners and shares its knowledge, policy control, and company profits on a system-wide basis.
Keller Williams Realty is founded on an "agents as partners" business model. Agents and staff have access to the company's financial reports, share in up to 50% of company profits, and have a say in all decisions. Most real estate companies operate on a dependent model where the broker provides leads to sales people and then offers them a commission, or they operate on an independent model where agents receive minimal support from the broker but keep more of the commission. In contrast, Keller Williams Realty model fosters a synergistic environment where both parties succeed through teamwork.
Keller Williams Realty agents are distinguished by their full time commitment to real estate sales and their level of business success. In addition to the required education for licensing, Keller Williams's sales associates attend numerous courses through Keller Williams University to keep them up to date on current real estate trends and information. Keller Williams training is the most comprehensive in the industry.
Keller Williams Mission, Vision and Values reflect some of the distinguishing features of the company's business model.
Keller Williams Mission:
To build careers worth having, businesses worth owning and lives worth living.
Vision:
To be the Company of choice for a new generation of real estate agents and owners.
Values
God, Family, then Business

Financing Your Home >Watch Your ARMs Length Most buyers know that first-year interest on Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARMs) is typically lower than the interest on available fixed-rate mortgages. This makes ARMs easier to qualify for, but also requires that borrowers have some understanding about how such loans work, because there are significant details associated with the low first-year rate.
First, check to see how long the low rates offered on the ARM are guaranteed. After that period of time, the rates can go up two points a year to a typical rate cap of six points over the life of the loan. Lenders will usually require borrowers to qualify for a mortgage loan that is several percentage points above the actual initial rate charged on the ARM. This is intended to keep borrowers from becoming overburdened by debt. Some lenders may charge special fees or caps which can increase the cost of the loan. If you think that an ARM may work for you, it is a good idea to shop around.
