Keller Williams Realty Canada is thrilled to announce the addition of a new
franchise to its growing family of offices. Keller Williams Energy Real Estate
is proudly open for business in Whitby, Ontario.
At the helm of the new office is operating principal Chris Davies, who describes
the philosophy behind the launch. "Keller Williams Energy was conceived
using the following recipe: First we put together an initial group of 38
salespeople and staff who believe that our individual careers will grow
stronger if we share information and expertise with each other,” says Davies.
“We then set up an environment of sharp business focus, education, fun, personal
growth, high standards, balanced living, and strong personal relationships.
Stir all that together and we get energetic salespeople doing great
business. We have a lot of fun doing it, and then we go home to our families.
Thatʼs what KW Energy is about".
“The associates and leadership at KW Energy Real Estate make an exceptional
fit with the spirit of ʻlives worth living and careers worth havingʼ that is
the cornerstone of the Keller Williams business philosophy,” according to Keller
Williams Canadian Director, John Furber.
KW Energy Real Estate boasts some of the most influential and highly regarded
associates in their local market. Chief amoung them are Larry Lloyd
and Tracy Mullin who lead a local realtor team with over two-decades of experience.
In discussing the move to Keller Williams Lloyd said, "I was tired of
being an island unto myself. I want to help create a culture that causes all of
us to do business, and live our lives, at a higher level.”
A top producing Durham Region and Greater Toronto Area veteran, David
Sachko said, "This is a company that believes the Agent is at the center of
the business, and gives us the tools, systems and resources to operate successful,
profitable businesses."
Keller Williams Realty has been gaining ground for the last three years in
both Canada and the U.S., outpacing pervasive downward trends in the real
estate industry. Comparing the average annual performance of the company
from 2004 - 2005 (before the shift in the United States real estate market) to
2006 - 2008, Keller Williams Realty increased its associate count by 52 percent,
while market share for its offices increased 83 percent and agent gross
commission income went up 35 percent. In 2008, the company shared more
than $30 million in profits with its associates through its profit sharing program.
The company also recently announced that it had surpassed RE/MAX® International
as the third-largest real estate franchise in the United States, according
to Steve Murray of REAL Trends, a leading source of analysis and
information in the residential real estate industry. The Austin, Texas-based
company claimed the number three spot with 72,794 U.S. associates at the
end of 2008.
