Most real estate companies today operate under the belief that their associates are great
...because they work for a great company.
Keller Williams believes it is a great company

We believe that if we build the careers of our people,
...they will build the company.
This is the fundamental difference between Keller Williams and most companies.
Keller Williams Agents Declaration of Distinctions
- You don't have the right to limit my opportunities, and I don't have the right to limit yours.
- All are to be treated fairly, but all are not equal. We all have the same opportunities.
- No one succeeds alone. We are in it together!
- Quality is in the quantity. Don't judge us by who we hire, judge us by who we keep.
- We are a bottom-up company. Ideas MUST go through the Agent Leadership Council. The company NEEDS
the agents. - There are no hidden agendas. "I'm not going to lay awake at night worrying about people who aren't worrying
about me." - There are no secrets. We are all open, giving, and sharing.
- People have lived before us. We don't need to reinvent the wheel. We implement modeling, mentoring,
and masterminding. - The AGENT is the brand - NOT the company!
"A vision so intoxicating it may be difficult to tell yourself to stop."
| The desire to engineer a truly win-win company with no limits on associate career and income opportunities were the catalyst for change. The Keller Williams team discovered a way to champion the highest possible commission structure in a full support environment with expanded profit potential for the broker, achieving both associate and broker income goals. They then went one step further by advocating the concept that a commission program should be just one form of associate compensation no the only one. A company based on this belief, and that decisions and profits are a responsibility and a reward for everyone, make Keller Williams stand apart. Keller Williams is a leading real estate industry innovator for one very important reason - it wants to be! Utilizing the World Wide Web, Keller Williams has impacted the industry yet again by creating a business management portal where agents can truly be fiduciaries in their career, as well as delivering a means for them to do it. |

Keller Williams is founded on the principle that people make a difference. Keller Williams believes sales associates are broker's colleagues and if brokers concentrate on developing their people, their people will, in turn, develop their companies. Throughout the company a tradition new to the industry is being firmly established - brokers and associates as colleagues working in business together to develop each associate's business. No detail has been overlooked to help provide career support for Keller Williams associates to achieve their highest goals. The Keller Williams Systems and Management Support work interdependently to provide the foundation for this leading edge career opportunity. |
