Look at what our agents have to say about their KW experience!
| What a difference 3 years makes! I was approached by Laurie Hathorn in 2005 at a perfect time when I was losing the passion for the business after 18 years with Coldwell Banker. The more I heard, the more fascinated I became because clearly this company, Keller Williams, “gets it” and has a unique business model - no wonder they are the fastest growing company in the country. My passion for the business is back and I am proud to be associated with this innovative company. The management cares, the top agents share their ideas, the agents surrounding me have a positive attitude and the education and training is far superior than any other company. I am working smarter, feeling less stressed and more in control, and love the additional challenge of being on the Agent Leadership Council, building a team and recruiting. I “capped” in July 2008 meaning I have been on 100% split since then. I am doing OVER 100% thanks to that extra bonus called “profit sharing.” The office shares half of our profits monthly with the agents. Thank you to all the leaders here for doing an outstanding job – in a mere 3 years our individual office has over 120 agents. Our statistics are amazing: number 1 in MLS offices in number of listings and number of closed units. We have an excellent reputation and welcome a conversation with any salesperson or broker who is looking for a new opportunity! |

| In my 14 years in Real Estate 2008 was my most profitable ever; in fact I doubled my net income from my best year with Coldwell Banker. Keller Williams taught me how to run my business like a business and gave me the tools, technology, and support to achieve my goals and break ahead of the pack. |

| I started at Keller Williams as a new agent – only six months in the business – but I took the training classes and in less than 18 months I was in the top 10% of all agents in the county. For an agent who wants learn the best practices from the most inspiring speakers and thinkers, and who wants to be motivated to achieve great things, Keller Williams is the only place to be. |

| Coming from a standard office environment which was truly enriching for me I thought I had it all until I found Keller Williams and to me this is the most innovative company around. After long consideration in 2006 to join KW or not I found that I made the BEST CAREER move of my life! This company has not only changed my production level but it truly changed my LIFE!!! Joining this company has truly given me the NEXT LEVEL of life and my career where I feel safely I could not have gotten from anywhere or anyone else! The sharing, caring, masterminds, creating positivity, people, our happiness, training, education and Goal Setting are just PRICELESS!! The level of people that I am surrounded by is just so amazing that I look forward to coming to the office every day so I can learn something new from these individuals. The new friendships, wisdom, knowledge, the helping, the caring, the visions and most importantly the journey that lies ahead for myself and my growing TEAM is just so bright that there is no ceiling stopping us from reaching for the stars and just selling Real Estate to another Level beyond the NORM. My Keller Williams experience has brought me nothing but joy and clearly I know the BIG WHY in my LIFE and with the education, support & training that they offer me I know that I am in the right environment to grow to all limits and heights! I truly can say that I love Keller Williams as this is not just a company that I am affiliated with but I am a true Partner and it is my extended Family! Home away from home and to me that is what makes this the best Company and best experience ever!! |

| I joined KW about two years ago just as I was thinking of dropping out of the industry! Due to the leadership and encouragement of Brad Brammer, the commitment to excellence & professionalism of Gary L., Mark B., and people like Carolyn & Peggy, I realized there is a lot more to this industry and profession than I experienced anywhere else. As a result I finished the year in the top 18% of agents in Westchester / Putnam. I attribute my success to the eye opening commitment the people and culture KW provides with education and information that encourages you to reach for even higher levels of achievement..... a whole heartedly, positive, and contagious experience. |

| Refreshing is the first word that came to mind when I first learned of Keller Williams Realty. Here was an organization that was focused on the agent and their relationships with sellers/buyers. Equally important was the desire of the company to raise the professional platform for agents in our industry through education and consulting As a returning agent to the sales arena (after 4 years in real estate management), having the guidance and direction to re-build a dynamic sales business is priceless. I know what needs to be done each day to produce the desired results, not to mention I have at my disposal top agents locally and nationally to freely show me best practices. This is truly an agency built with the success of its agents at the top of its agenda. |

| Making a switch to Keller Williams from a cookie cutter company like Houlihan Lawrence was the best, most rewarding move that I have ever made. Coming to an office where the primary focus is on the agents and their production level unlike Houlihan Lawrence was quite refreshing. Keller Williams has much more to offer the agents. We have a profit sharing plan, there is an ongoing monthly training calender that the agents choose which class they want to attend, we have a catered office meeting where we brain storm about new ideas, we learn how to improve our existing techniques in order to become more productive. In our office meeting our team leader shares with us the facts of the office whether it be statistics or what is happening in KW Cares. I find our office meetings informative and enlightening. KW Cares is a small part of why I am proud to call Keller Williams my second home. All of the Keller Williams agents try to help each other as much as possible. There is an enormous amount of positive energy and the feeling of wanting to be successful in my Keller Williams office. There is also a feeling of wanting to share your ideas, feelings and thoughts with the people around you. At Keller Williams I have never felt that any business that I have brought in or have discussed with everyone in the office has ever been compromised. Keller Williams to me is like familiy. When there is uncertainty in a situation I know that I can reach out to anyone of my colleagues or management and they would be there to help me through or just confirm the facts for me. Being in the business since 1999 and being a part of Keller Williams since 2006 I can honestly say that I have found my niche. I have found a company who has instilled in me positive beliefs about business. It has shown me how I can alter what I am presently doing as an Associate Broker to better myself and my business. To Brad Brammer in being a key part to changing my professional real estate career for the better I want to say Thank you. With every conversation I had with him the choice became clear that Keller Williams is the perfect opportunity for me. |

| Keller Williams, along with the wisdom and the synergy of the White Plains office, taught me how to go from nothing to something within one year! Starting my career in 2006, in a mom & pop office that offered no training, no tools, and no energy to being recruited by this dynamic, technologically advanced, most powerful major nationwide real estate company that makes you feel "the sky's the limit", is astonishing. In my second year in real estate, 2007, using all that Keller Williams has to offer I went from the bottom of the list in White Plains to the top five! Beginning with a basic course "443" translating to, 4 listings, 4 sales within your first 3 months in the business is the MOST powerful tool this company has to offer. So powerful, it's on the license plate of my car! Every realtor, seasoned or not, should take this course, and therefore leaving no doubt, every realtor should be Keller Williams. The Keller Williams mission is clear, "To build careers worth having, businesses worth owning and lives worth living." |

| AMAZING ENVIRONMENT AND CULTURE! GREAT FAMILY! We have awesome people from the staff (Suzanne & Esther) to all the agents and assistants. Everyone welcomes you to the Keller Williams Family. FAMILY! That's who we really are here in this office. I have been in business for 10 years+ and been with small companies and one national company. These environments were not always the friendliness after the "new kid on the block" wears off. I had often felt like every person was for themselves and if you were not a Top Producer, people will pass you by without given you a second look. Here at Keller Williams we can learn how to run OUR business like a business, independence, massive amount of on-going training for all levels and the support that's second to none. There are so many systems in place to get you from any level to soaring in your career. My business and most important by mindset of the business have grown tremendously within this last year. I will recommend this company to any agent that is serious about taking their real estate career to higher levels. THINK BOLD! ACT BOLD! AIM HIGH! Keep smiling |

| Keller Williams is AWESOME! Joining the White Plains office was the BEST real estate decision I have made thus far! After 2 years into the business with a traditional, out-of-the-box, average-thinking office that offered no training, no support, no tools or resources, nor keen industry knowledge or techniques, and no vision into the future except for “everyone out for themselves”, I finally jumped ship. And what an expanse of possibility and opportunity for growth I have found! Risk pays off… Keller Williams is SO much more than I could have ever dreamed of! Indeed, it has changed my life, and not just in terms of real estate career. This office is a family and there is always care in the air. Yes, believe it or not, everyone does care, especially management! I know to have truly found my home in real estate. After 9 months, I am still amazed how everyone shares and helps each other, no matter the level of production. Top producers take the time to show, teach and help those of us who thrive to learn and grow, no matter what the scope is. We are all equal. And I wouldn’t miss the amazingly fun, informative and inspirationally-gratifying office meetings for the world! Thank you Gary for giving me the opportunity to be part of something magnificent! You are the reason I am still here and you were right back when you said that I would have soon regretted not joining sooner. Keller Williams is truly powerful for its training, its culture and model. Keller Williams has allowed me to pursue my dreams by continuing to do what gives me pleasure and satisfaction because it has shown me how to elevate my business to another level. However, the benefits of this White Plains office go way beyond the agent training and resources available for our career growth. Our office has a particular environment, a unique culture and mind-set that most agents agree is like no other around. For this, I commend the “Founding Fathers” of this Market Center: Gary, Laurie, Brad, Peggy, Mark, Carolyn and Suzanne. Thank you all for doing what you do in an EXCEPTIONAL way and for helping me along the way. You all deserve such praise and credit for putting together such a magnificent team of people and place of business! An environment so rich with vision, support, encouragement, intelligence, love, positive energy, fun, AND spiritual well-being, and ALWAYS on the cutting edge of information and innovation, whether from WCBR, legal or cultural. This office is THE example of team-building and what Keller Williams is all about: succeeding through building sound and trustworthy relationships to achieve more together. Keller Williams should be a business example for all industries. |
