Page Title

Founded in 1983, Keller Williams Realty Inc. is an international real estate company with more than 600
offices located across the United States and Canada. The company began franchising in 1991, and
following years of phenomenal growth and success, became the fourth-largest U.S. residential real estate
firm in North America in 2006. The company has succeeded by treating its associates as partners and
shares its knowledge, policy control and company profits on a system-wide basis.

Structured for Success

The interdependent business model of Keller Williams Realty supports agents and brokers working as a
team to maximize personal productivity and company profits.

Most real estate companies operate on a dependent model where the broker provides leads to
salespeople 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 model fosters a synergistic environment where both parties succeed through
teamwork, by encouraging agents and brokers to share their best practices with each other and reward
associates who help the company to grow. It is these industry-changing philosophies that have fueled the
recent growth of Keller Williams Realty past older, more established companies to claim a top-four spot in
the real estate industry.
