Keller Williams Announces Commercial Real Estate Division

Keller Williams Realty, Inc., one of largest real estate companies in North America, announced plans to launch a Keller Williams Realty Commercial Division this fall.

KW Commercial

Residential real estate firm Keller Williams Realty International announced plans to launch a commercial division titled KW Commercial. Keller Williams, one of the largest real estate companies in North America, plans to become the company of choice in both the residential and commercial worlds by providing its associates with the technology, marketing tools, and resources to succeed in the commercial business. "We want to create synergy and referrals between the residential and commercial sides of our Keller Williams offices, increasing the income and production potential of all our agents," said Mark Willis, CEO of Keller Williams Realty International. 

100% Commission

According to the reports we've heard so far, KW Commercial will operate under a structure almost identical to the business structure of Keller Williams' residential real estate. KW Commercial real estate agents will be able to retain 100% of their commissions after meeting the market center cap. The cap rate for Keller Williams Commercial Realtors is expected to be the same as that for KW residential Realtors.

Profit Sharing

Keller Williams Realty has a unique profit sharing model that takes almost half of the commissions paid to the broker and returns them to KW agents in the form of profit sharing. The profit sharing model is providing many KW agents with a viable retirement plan independent of their traditional investment portfolios.

The profit sharing plan is often referred to in KW circles as "The Gift." The Gift is part of the agents assets and can be willed or transferred.

KW Commercial Real Estate Agent Training

Training for commercial real estate is more involved, more complex and more expensive than training for residential real estate.Traditionally commercial real estate agents have to invest significant financial resources for their education and training. Keller Williams plans to reduce the cost of commercial real estate agent training while increasing it's availablitity and effectiveness.
