Keller Williams reviews

They only care about making a ridiculous amount of profits from their agents. By structuring itself as “a technology company”, they do well at helping cut throat agents to make tons in commissions, but in reality, they are a giant pyramid scheme. Every sale made has a portion of those dollars trickled up 7 levels with the final level being the co-founder, CEO and chairman, Gary Keller. Their main goal is to bring on as many agents as possible with an unrealistic goal of EVERYONE doing the most sales in the local market. To this end, they have high turnover of non-paid brokers and lowly paid administrative staff. Definitely not the place to be for any trustworthy and respectable real estate agent.

Let me make it clear that this review is for their Aventura, FL office. As a new realtor, you are given absolutely no support. After you join, the vibe is terrible. Few acknowledge you exist and are of no help. Good luck trying to hold an open house or shadowing someone. They collect your monthly fees and leave you hanging until you leave. If you have any questions (and as a new agent you will have many), you won’t find someone who will help you. Yes, they have classes, but you can do better through the board. Keller Williams is known for their training and there may be offices out there that will provide that for you. However, keep in mind that each office is independently owned and operated. Their Aventura office does not fit the profile the company claims. Do your research ahead of time and ask many specific questions. Ask to speak to the new recruits.
