(via Keller Williams Celebrates Record Setting Expansion)
In early 2015 we announced that Keller Williams was the largest real estate franchise by agent count in the world. Guess what? They are still the reigning champ, but now there is even more to the story.
Since Jan. 1, 2015, KW has increased its agent base by 17%, meaning a growth of more than 125,000 associates! Monthly records were crushed in the first half of this year, with transactions up 20% to almost 400,000 units and sales volume up 26% to $100 billion (yes, with a B). Even agents earned $3 billion in gross commission income. Franchise owners faired well too with an increased profit of 37%.
In addition, the company’s profit share and growth share program that rewards associates who help the growth of the company, gave back $98 million in 2014, and has surpassed $650 million since the program’s creation.
Chris Heller, CEO of Keller Williams, explained the reasons behind the expansion best, “We’re focusing on innovation and providing top-notch real estate business training and coaching to our agents. It’s the reason we’re outpacing the market and providing more opportunities for our associates and their families.”
Clearly, it’s never been a better time to be a member of the Keller Williams family! Join now and become a real estate agent with the best brokerage in the business, the opportunity is perfectly ripe for success.
