About Keller Williams Realty
Keller Williams Realty was founded in Austin, Texas in 1983 by Gary Keller and Joe Williams. Gary and Joe were
two young real estate brokers with a vision of providing
unsurpassed real estate service in a true partnership with
agents and home buyers and sellers, with a “win-win” or “no
deal” philosophy. Within three years, Keller Williams was
the largest single office real estate company in the city of
Austin. In spite of the Texas real estate crash of the late
1980′s, Keller Williams grew from a single office company of
33 agents to a regional business of sixteen offices with over
one hundred and twenty agents.
Keller Williams Realty began franchising in 1987 and expanded to Canada in 1998. From 1995 to
present, the company has become one of the fastest growing real estate companies in the United States
with sales and commissions growth topping 700% during that period. Keller Williams Realty is
America’s 3rd-largest real estate franchise in 2009 with more than 650 offices and more than 70,000
associates across the United States and Canada.
Company founder Gary Keller serves as chairman of the board. He is responsible for providing
strategic direction for all Keller Williams® divisions and affiliate companies.
Mo Anderson serves as Vice Chairman of the Board and is the driving force behind Keller Williams Realty’s culture of family.
Mark Willis was named Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Keller Williams Realty International in
2005 and is responsible for the day-to-day operations of Keller Williams.
