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

Working With An Agent >The Exclusive Sale
The most common and popular arrangement to have with a real estate agent when selling a specific property is an "exclusive right-to-sell". This type of agreement has advantages for both the broker and the seller. It allows an agent to give his or her full attention to marketing a seller's home or property for a certain period of time without competition from other real estate companies.
Within such an exclusive arrangement, the real estate agent shares the listing with national and worldwide referral networks through the Multiple Listing Service that is subscribed to by most real estate sales professionals. The MLS listing assures your home of the widest possible exposure to the market place.
Nine out of ten homes that are sold today are "listed" homes (more in some markets). Enough said!
