Keller Williams Realty (KW), the world’s largest real estate franchise by agent count, today announced their year to date 2022 results, reporting significant worldwide growth and having topped corporate culture rankings.
“As we face increasing macroeconomic headwinds, we are preparing for what we expect to be a slower growth period. Yet, our value proposition in training and coaching is specifically geared to enable our agents to take more market share during economic shifts. To embrace the market of the moment in Q3 ’22, we purposely launched four new business communities as agents are wanting a greater sense of connection, empowerment, and impact. Developed in partnership with agents, communities are one more way we’re enabling entrepreneurs to thrive in this fast-shifting market.”
