Keller Williams: the largest real estate franchise by agent count in the world!!

“We’re #1 and we’ve just begun,” co-founder and Chairman Gary Keller said.

After another record-setting year of growth, productivity and profitability gains, Keller Williams announced it has become the largest real estate franchise by agent count in the world. The Austin, Texas-based company added a net gain of 17,000 associates in 2014, increasing its worldwide associate count to more than 112,000.

How EXCITING!! Keller Williams announced this achievement last week in Florida at their “Family Reunion”.
