Keller Williams Realty ranks among fastest growing companies in America, September 2008
Emphasizing that “business ingenuity and economic leadership still start with entrepreneurs,” Inc. magazine recently published its 2008 list of the fastest growing private companies in America. Not surprisingly, Keller Williams Realty made the list and was the only leading residential real estate franchise in North America to do so.
What it does:
Franchiser of residential real estate brokerages in more than 690 markets across North America.
Why it’s growing:
“The public does business with the agent, not the company,” says CEO Mark Willis. To that end, considerable resources are devoted to educate and train associates to be good business owners, not just sales people.
What’s noteworthy:
After Hurricane Katrina, Keller Williams raised $5.3 million to provide long-term support for KW agents and their families affected by the storm, and each office in that region was adopted by another KW office.

A note from Gary Keller on the state of Keller Williams Realty International-October 2008
“There is a success story in today’s real estate market despite what you may be reading in the headlines. Keller Williams Realty is more strongly positioned than ever to fulfill our destiny of becoming the #1 real estate company in North America!
Take a look at how we are outpacing the industry!
While the National Association of REALTORS® has shrunk by 6 percent, Keller Williams has only experienced a 2 percent adjustment in agent count!
While other companies and offices are selling out or closing their doors, we opened 25 offices in the last 12 months!
While other companies are raising fees and charging their agents more in order to keep the doors open, the vast majority of our offices are profitable!
And, while agents with other companies worry about their financial security, we have given back more than $32 million in profits to our agents over the last year!
As we watch our competitors, particularly those that answer to Wall Street, take on billions of dollars of debt, we are proud to say that our company has not one dollar of financing debt and we remain strongly, soundly profitable.
Our strategy is no secret. We faithfully follow the sound financial model of leading with revenue - the same model our market centers follow - and we are experiencing the unprecedented payoff this discipline delivers!
Not a day goes by that we do not receive emails and phone calls from many of you across North America concerned about the state of the real estate industry and the state of our company. We want to assure you that Keller Williams Realty is thriving and we will continue to power through this shift in the real estate market. ”
