Leadership Top Story

Don’t take it from us  

 "What an amazing opportunity — an invitation to experience the Keller Williams Realty Family Reunion Conference at the personal invitation of Keller Williams Realty Vice Chair Mo Anderson. Five days on the inside track with one of the country’s fastest growing real estate franchises.

        "But what was most impressive about my KW experience and what I think is being missed by the industry at large was the discovery of what I would describe as the engineered core of the Keller Williams Realty business model. KW Founder and Chairman of the Board Gary Keller is very much the icon and inspiration behind KW’s performance engineering programs. His several presentations during the conference produced a blizzard of facts, figures and hypotheses."

- Excerpted from an article from REAL Trends, March 2006 by Jeremy J. Conoway, Contributing Editor.

Agent Top Story: RED Day rocked!

Recharging communities throughout North America  

With many of our regions reporting 100 percent market center participation in RED Day, last week's event proved that the compassion in our company is exceeded only by the imagination.  Tens of thousands of us gave blood, stocked shelves, planted flowers, picked up trash, read to children in schools, repaired shelters, raised money for charity, visited nursing homes, welcomed home troops and thousands of other initiatives to Renew, Energize and Donate within our communities. 

 

Be sure to upload your pictures to our RED Day PhotoBucket page.

Even BOLDer than previous reports!

When a committed class of 18 agents, all at different stages in their careers, make 295 appointments, get 128 listings and close 93 sales in eight weeks – as was reported in last week’s newsletter – heads turn. When it’s revealed that this awesome feat was actually accomplished in six weeks, jaws drop.

Stats to share with your clients

Home sales were nearly 30 percent higher in March 2009 than in February, and that’s the second month in a row that home sales shot upwards. 

 

Median home prices have essentially returned to where they were in early 2003, which means that affordability is close to being as good as it’s ever been. 

 

Learn about all this and more in the This Month in Real Estate PowerPoint Reports and YouTube videos. To make this report more relevant to your clients, customize it with your market’s information, and use these tools as part of your lead generation strategy today.
