Keller Williams Realty: Top Workplace in Northeast Ohio in 2011

I have always believed in the notion that "happy workers make for happy clients."  With that being said, the Cleveland Plain Dealer newspaper named Keller Williams Realty the best place to work in Northeast Ohio (Cleveland, Akron, Medina, Lorain areas) in 2011.  Not only Keller Williams top the list, the company and it's 13 area offices, it is the only real estate company in the top 100.  That says a lot in the current economic and real estate market...

Keller Williams Realty is the fastest growing real estate company in the nation, which now has nearly 700 offices and over 77,000 agents.  This makes Keller Williams the second largest real estate company in the country, looking to close-in on number one.

So why is Keller Williams preferred over other real estate companies?  Because they have developed a real estate model that supports and educates it's agents, allowing them to be better prepared to meet their clients' needs.  Agents are free to run their own business, without interference, and have full access to numerous company-sponsored training and education opportunities to stay informed in this ever-changing industry.  Essentially, Keller Williams provides all of the tools to succeed, and in turn, the agents dictate how they use those tools to forge their success and best serve their clients.

I am proud to say that I am an agent with this great organization, and I can fully understand why Keller Williams was named the best workplace in Northeast Ohio.  I welcome you to Contact Me anytime to discuss the company and my experiences anytime!
