Agent Top Story

Keller Williams outperforms ... again

Top industry reports shows significant gains

Each year, two of the real estate industry’s journalistic heavyweights pull together the top performing brokers in the industry based on transaction sales and sales volume and present their findings in the RISMedia Power Broker Report and the REAL Trends 500 report. This year, Keller Williams Realty had more brokerages on the lists than any other real estate franchise!

 

- For the second year in a row, Keller Williams ruled the RISMedia Power Broker Report with the largest number of brokers on the list — accounting for 35 percent of all the brokerages listed — 57 percent higher than any other real estate company.

 

- On the REAL Trends 500 report, 143 Keller Williams franchises made the cut, representing 25 percent of the entire report. That number is up 59 percent from 2008.

 

Congratulations to Keller Williams power players!

20 somethings make their mark

Four Keller Williams associates named to REALTOR® Magazine's 30 under 30

While real estate veterans may be able to draw on the past and recognize the current market correction as an inevitable and temporary shift, it takes a mega-dose of dedication, perseverance and skill for the young and (relatively) inexperienced to do so.

Keller Williams Realty is proud to boast four such associates. Karishma Asrani, Houston Metropolitan; Harma Hartouni, Encino – Sherman Oaks; Allison Gambone, Bayside, Queens; and Wayne Salmans, Anchorage, were selected as winners of REALTOR® Magazine's annual Top 30 Under 30. By having the knowledge and foresight to leverage technology while still learning from the experience of others, these four represent the future of our company.

Congratulations to all four Keller Williams winners, and keep up the good work!
