Keller Williams Realty Top Real Estate Franchise in the United States

4_More_HomesKeller Williams Realty celebrated its 35-year anniversary by announcing it is the largest real estate company in agent count, closed units, and closed sales volume in the United States. With 150,000 associates, the franchise has posted record growth numbers, surpassing RE/MAX, Century 21, Coldwell Banker, and Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, to secure the industry’s top position. In 2017, the company’s 155,000 U.S. agents closed more than 1 million units, generating more than $300 billion in sales revenue.

CEO John Davis said, “We’re proud to be in business with associates who are focused on growing big businesses so they can fund their lives and create opportunities for their families. And, while we’re certainly excited for our people and their incredible increases in agent production and market share, we know we’re just getting started. We’re committed to continuing to raise the bar and providing even more value for agents and their clients.”

Founded in 1983 in Austin, Texas, Keller Williams Realty began with a total of 32 agents who closed $28 million in volume that year. After struggling in a tough Texas economy and the loss of seven of its top 10 producers to a competitor, Gary Keller formed the first Associate Leadership Council to begin focusing on creating a culture that would allow the company to grow and for its agents to share in that growth.

In 2002, Keller and his colleagues brought a team of mega agents together for a mastermind brainstorming session, which resulted in models that would alter serve as the basis for Keller’s first and national bestselling book, The Millionaire Real Estate Agent. By 2006, Keller Williams was the fifth largest real estate franchise in the U.S. In 2009, it became the third largest real estate franchise, and then in 2011 surpassed Century 21 as the number two real estate franchise in the country.
