STARTED WITH ONE:NOW BOASTS 46 AGENTS
Keller Williams empowers agents “We stand behind our agents, not in front of them.” This is the slogan of Keller Williams Realty, says Vivian Di Scala, team leader of the fastgrowing Keller William offices in Somerset West. “This seems to be a concept most agents like.” The Keller William offices only opened recently, on 1 March this year, and has already shown incredible growth. The office was started with only one agent but now boasts with more than 46 “high calibre” agents. Di Scala says this phenomenal growth points to a coming shake-up in the industry. “By present indications Keller Williams will be the largest real estate company in the Boland area by early 2015.” Keller Williams has a radically different approach to the property industry that, according to Di Scala, attracts more agents to the Keller Williams group. He says Keller Williams charges a lower desk fee for the use of the office and support staff in comparison to other agencies. This, coupled with the emphasis on in-house training for interns and agents, is a big drawing card for good quality agents. Di Scala says Keller Williams regards itself as a training company that “happens” to be in the real estate industry and offers a
wide range of training opportunities to its agents. An international bestseller, Become a Millionaire Real Estate Agent, written by Gary Keller, is the preferred handbook for the company’s rising stars and helps explain the company’s international success. Growth share was unheard of in the industry until Gary Keller came along and equated it with wealth building. Di Scala explains that the growth share is an added incentive for agents, not just to perform, but to bring more agents into the fold. He says when an existing agent brings in a new agent to Keller Williams, the existing agent is entitled to a share of the new agent’s commission. He says this creates a passive income for agents and incentivises agents to recruit more people to Keller Williams. “We believe the power of the Keller Williams brand is an enormous asset to our business but we also recognise the need to customise and localise our marketing approach. We stand out on many fronts but the one that empowers our customers the most is that we build clients for life,” says Di Scala. Keller Williams has big expansion plans for 2015. Di Scala says Cape Town’s Northern and Southern suburbs are next on the cards.
