Agent Top Story

Leads, listings and the KW.com advantage

An international Website and a company that believes your listings are your leads, fuels lead generation for every Keller Williams associate. In fact, you could receive more leads through KW.com than any other Website.

 

Below are a few more ways that KW.com gives you an edge in your market:

— KW.com gives consumers access to more listings than other national Websites – more than 7.2 million listings. Realtor.com advertises 4,084,488 listings.
— Through a new partnership with RealtyTrac, KW.com allows consumers to perform localized, price-range based searches for foreclosed properties.
— KW.com was the first nationwide real estate broker to offer the Zillow and Cyberhomes home valuation tools to consumers. By adding an instant home valuation to the property and foreclosure search on KW.com, the Website offers a one-stop shop for consumers.

Alert! Email scams on the rise

Don't disclose your KW password!

Your username and password could be at risk. Recently, a dramatic increase has been reported in the number of emails sent to KW.com recipients by spammers and criminals, most of which are intended to trick the recipient into providing personal information. Some are familiar claims of deposed generals overseas with funds trapped in bank accounts. Others have impersonated KW Customer Support, and request the recipient’s password, threatening to disable webmail accounts unless action is taken.
