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 percent of company profits, and have a say in office 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 to these traditional models, the Keller Williams Realty model fosters a synergistic environment where both parties succeed through teamwork. This model encourages agents and brokers to share their best practices with each other and rewards associates who bring others into the company. It is these industry-changing philosophies that have rocketed Keller Williams Realty past older, more established companies to claim a top-two spot in the real estate industry.
Even today, as Keller Williams Realty grows, the founding philosophies of the company stay the same. Our mission is to build Careers Worth Having, Businesses Worth Owning, and Lives Worth Living.
