Why Keller Williams Integrity Realty?

Did you know that Keller Williams is the fastest growing company in the nation, who has just reached over 30,000 agents and moved into the 5th largest real estate company in the nation? Why are so many top national agents like Tom Brodie and the Harker Team choosing Keller Williams? And locally, why are agents like Mike Olsen (CBB), "The Condo Queen" Angela Larson (CBB), and Realtor Magazine's "Top 30 under 30" Jason Gorman making the move? What do these established agents see that you don't?

Commission Splits
We bring all of our agents into Keller Williams Integrity Realty on a minimum 70/30 commission split. Your initial split is determined by your previous years' production, and ranges from 70/30 to 95/5.

When the % going to Keller Williams Integrity Realty equals $19,500 plus the $3,000 franchise fee, the agent "caps" for the balance of their year and is paid at 100% for the remainder. (Each partner's year begins the first of the month after they join us). Your commission split and production will determine when you reach this maximum contribution to the company.

Remember, the "other" companies just keep taking and taking, no matter how much you make or what your split is.

Now lets look at an example of what goes into your pocket. Let's assume that the average commission is 3% per side of a transaction. Then, let's assume the agent is on the starting split, 70/30. Most experienced agents would start at a much higher split, but let's look at a new agent. If you sell $2,000,000 your first year in the real estate business (an average agent would be here), the money you bring into the company will be approximately $60,000. With Keller Williams Realty you will make about $37,500. If you go with another local company on a 50/50 split, you will make about $29,362. The difference in your take home is $8,138. What could you do with an extra $8,000 a year?

Now lets look at a $5,000,000 producer. After they cap it really makes a difference. With Keller Williams Realty they will take home about $127,500. With another local real estate company (assuming a 50/50 split), they would take home about $69,000. The difference in your take home is about $58,000, and it only gets better from there. That's A LOT of money!

Your Expenses With Keller Williams Integrity Realty

KW Consortium (Technology) Fee:	$10.00 Per Month
E & O Insurance:	$15.00 Per Month
Office Space	Actual cost - no markup!

No Institutional Marketing Fees, no high technology fees, no transaction fees, no high desk fees, no hidden fees or nickel and diming for various items! Office space is offered at an actual pass-through cost - it IS NOT a profit center for the office to make money off you. You pay only for what you use and only the actual cost of the space. If you office from home, you pay nothing. The average size office costs around $200 - $300 per month - the cost of a couple transaction fees at the "other" real estate companies!!

Just like most companies, our agents pay all their expenses including, but not limited to: business cards, open house signs, signs riders, name badges, etc. We have negotiated and will continue to negotiate competitive discounted rates with local advertising sources and vendors.

When other companies tell you they will give you stuff for free, they can well afford it from the profits they are making off your production! Just keep in mind that there is a reason that they can provide these items, and YOU are paying for it!!

Profit Sharing
Recruiting new partners into Keller Williams is our lifeblood. Since everyone pays the same amount into the company, it is the only way we can make our offices more profitable - by adding agents. We believe in rewarding our agents who help our company grow, and we share our profits with the agents that recruited the agents that help us make a profit. The Keller Williams profit sharing program is where I have heard most of the misinformation about our company, but it is actually very simple and is NOT a "pyramid scheme". In fact, other local companies offer a "profit sharing" plan, but if you look at it, it pales in comparison to what is offered at Keller Williams. This year Keller Williams will distribute nearly $20 million dollars to its associates in profit sharing. We have partners who, after they cap, are making over 100% in commission because of profit sharing. How's that for an added bonus?

Technology
Keller Williams' technology is competitive or superior to any local company I've seen. The $10/month consortium fee covers email, your own personal website, intranet, online forms, marketing items, and many, many other items you can only believe once you see it for yourself.

Training
Keller Williams University features multiple courses to help you grow your business and increase your production, as well as manage your time more efficiently and ultimately get more out of your life. KW wants you to learn to work smarter, not harder, so that your life is in balance and you can spend more time on the things that matter.

Keller Williams feels so strongly that in order to make the marketplace better, the agents need to have education available, that their courses are open to the public! That's right, the competition is welcome to attend the courses. How many real estate companies open their doors to their competitors?

Open Books
Keller Williams strongly believes in accountability. One of the ways they accomplish this is to have an open book policy. Any agent from any office can view the profit and loss statements from any other office around the country. Expenses, profit, income� it's all there to see. When is the last time your company showed you their books?

Agent Input
The agents at Keller Williams have true input into how their offices are run via the ALC (Agent Leadership Council) which consists of the top 20% of the agents in the office. The ALC makes decisions on office policy, budget, and other issues concerning the agents. The idea of agent participation is not just an illusion - it is a formal, implemented process.
