One of the things we hear over and over again when agents join Keller Williams Realty is how they value the emphasis on agent training. In any given month at our Danville, CA Market Center, we will have close to 30 training classes offered. All of this training is free for Keller Williams associates.

Home sellers and buyers in the Danville and San Ramon areas can rest assured that their KW agent is receiving some of the best training in the real estate industry. In fact, KW has specialized training for the many diverse agent business models. So there is training not just for becoming a real estate expert, but also training to build a successful business.

The Keller Williams business model has received national attention and acclaim – most recently from the Yale School of Management and the Stanford Graduate School of Business.

Brian Tayan, research associate with the case writing office of the Stanford Graduate School of Business, assisted with a case study about Keller Williams. “I was truly impressed with the quality of the people and the organization. The culture and the economic models work in conjunction with each other. The culture does not exist for its own sake,” Tayan says.

The Keller Williams case study is slated as part of Stanford’s core MBA curriculum for 2007–08, and made its way to the Yale School of Management this year.

The Keller Williams business model is agent-centric, meaning the focus is on the agent’s business and success not the broker’s. More on the Keller Williams business model can be found here.
