Simply put, Keller Williams profit share is the icing on the cake when it comes to an already stellar organization. The principle behind profit sharing is treating associates as full business partners with the owners of the market centers. It’s not theirs, it’s ours.

All associates have an opportunity to participate in profit share. Those that do are rewarded financially for bringing other talented, productive agents to the company by receiving a share in the profits generated by the entire office. It’s a true, no investment needed opportunity to generate passive income just for letting other agents know about a career at KW.

Every KW associate has the opportunity to share in the profitability of any of our 800+ offices throughout the US and Canada. Putting the agents on the same side of the table as market center owners gives associates an ownership stake in that office. When they can be rewarded for the success of the office, they care about it’s profitability. Since the inception of Keller Williams profit share, we have shared over $1.8 billion with our associates. This is money that would have gone directly to the owners, but since our agents are the reason we are in business, we felt it was necessary to share these profits.

Instead of spending millions of dollars a year promoting our company via advertising (like our competitors), we let our associates be our walking billboards. That allows KW to spend money on things that will help the associates. Like training, education, support and technology.

Signs in the yard and agents sharing with others how great this company is sparks all the word-of-mouth advertising we need. It’s definitely helped. Keller Williams is now the largest real estate company in the world and is making waves across the oceans to new countries.

KW CEO Mark Willis states,

The more people you bring to Keller Williams, the more profits you share. The best part is you are vested after seven years and the profits continue to come in for your lifetime. Profit share is even willable to your heirs! How cool is that??

In other real estate business models, you’re lucky to get a coffee mug with your broker’s logo on it for helping grow their office. That’s the difference. It’s their office, their profits. At Keller Williams, it’s our office, our profits!

To put this in perspective, the top agent with KW receives over $1M a year in passive income from Keller Williams profit share. Not too bad for referring agents to the best real estate company to work for.

Keller Williams profit share is a mathematical formula. It only works when there is profit. Without profit, there is no profit share. Gary Keller says,

This is the core part of the interdependent real estate business model of KW. We (the agent & the company) need each other to have success. KW provides the tools, resources, strategies and empowerment. The associate provides the relationship and builds their own real estate business. It’s a true win-win scenario.
