Fun, friendly, excellent learning experience
Market Center Administrator (Former Employee) – Ashburn, VA – May 11, 2018
During my time as an MCA in both Leesburg, VA and Ashburn, VA I met the nicest people I have worked with, everyone was always genuinely happy to help with anything that was needed. Not only was the relationship great with the Team Leader, but assistants, agents and everyone in the company created a great environment to work in.
KW has education second to none! Commission only.
Realtor (Current Employee) – Madison, WI – August 15, 2018
I love everything about the company, however I am tiring of being a commission only independent contractor. My personal problem is that I don't favor lead-generation, which is the largest requirement of being a realtor (they don't tell you this in the 72 hour course).. Without it, you can forget being a realtor. Get ready to knock on doors and make those cold calls! KW has some impeccable education however and will set you up to win. They also have success coaches and an amazing culture. I really like everyone there and the way that it is run. Agents are friendly and genuinely want to help you succeed, and so is everyone else in the office. If you don't mind generating your own leads, KW is the BOMB! Often they have lunch available at meetings too, very generous.
Pros
lunches at team meetings, flexible schedule, friendly atmosphere, nice people
Cons
generating your own leads is harder than you would have thought
Culture is great!
Real Estate Broker (Current Employee) – Charlotte, NC – August 15, 2018
This company is the ideal company to work for if your in real estate. The culture was the first thing that was eye popping. Its diverse and the everyone is willing to help. People aren't sharks and out for themselves. Its more about the company and growing it so it can become profitable. Overall, everyone who's thinking about real estate should definitely start here to get that full training and experience of real estate.
Great Place to work and to train.
Broker NC/SC (Current Employee) – Charlotte, NC – August 14, 2018
Keller Williams offers a great training and coaching program. They also teach money management and how to have a work/life balance. As with any all commission career it is easy to lose this balance.
The Culture at KW exceeds most other work places.

Real Estate at its best
Buyers Specialist (Current Employee) – Marietta, GA – August 14, 2018
A typical day starts with prospecting for 2 hours. Setting up appointments for the afternoons and checking on homes under contract.
I have learned time management at a high level, negotiating the best prices for my clients, dealing with mortgage lenders and attorneys, and understanding that Time is of the Essence.

To far to drive for me.
I was taken by surprise by the expenses required for start up.
Real Estate Broker (Former Employee) – Charlotte, NC – August 12, 2018
I was expecting to have costs during my employment, however I was not aware of the amount of expenses or number of seperate expenses. This was omited from preemployment education; which I would suggest to be a good idea to be better prepared for the preliminary wait to create revenue time frame. I was however very impressed with the educational opportunities and the quality of education as well. I do believe based on exposure with future empty nesters in my community that I could have been happy as a broker if better financially prepared.
Pros
The quality of education
Cons
The lack of financial preparedness required for first three to six months decimination.
Listed and sold residential real estate.
REALTOR (Former Employee) – Chandler, AZ – August 12, 2018
Good training classes at office. Thsi canned classes were not taught by seasoned trainers, but rather newer agents. Good training on AZ contracts however.
Pros
Good place to learn sales.
Cons
Poor working environment and hours.
My life at KW
Principal Broker/ Assistant Team Leader (Former Employee) – Nashville, TN – August 12, 2018
I share a leadership role with an excellent support staff. I come in and reassess the calendar of events and recruiting appointments.
I find out who needs my help and what I can do to help others grow.
The culture is one of teamwork to get things done.
We take it seriously that we make a difference in peoples lives everyday. That can and does cause a fair amount of stress.
The best part of my job are my co workers and they belive we are a team and even thought we have different roles and someone has to take charge it is all about getting things accomplished for the greater good and how to show people how to run a business and fund their life.

God, Family and Business
Realtor (Current Employee) – Akron, OH – August 11, 2018
I value the mission of Keller Williams: God, Family and Business. That resonates with me. As a single parent I need some flexibility and as a realtor I am in charge of my schedule and KW promotes my job / life balance. I shouldn't miss my children's school events. There will only be one 3rd grade Holiday concert for your kid, right?
Real estate is what you put into it. Clients don't come to you. You must brand yourself. There is quite a lot of start up cost, and not a lot of income your first year (possible two) but as you build your client base and word of mouth gets out and your friends tell others, you will be doing well.
Current climate at my office is like a family. While we each are competing for houses to sell - there is a sense of collaboration among us if you have a question, more experienced realtors will give guidance .Management is supportive. They are more focused on recruitment than retention, but when available are great supporters.

Real Estate Agent (Former Employee) – Webster, TX – August 10, 2018

Work Hard
ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT (Former Employee) – Tucker, GA – August 8, 2018
The company is very competitive, however they have great incentives for those who go for gold. They do community outreach, and you are not micro managed. As a realtor this is commission as an admin assistant it is hourly.
