JASON HUTTON He publicly commented on the KW agents' openness to share when he was attending his first KW Family Reunion. Being new in KW, this real estate icon quickly realised that the KW culture of succeeding through others are lived by the agents, not just words perported to being the KW Belief System. He was the No.2 agent in South Africa for the past 5 years and under the Top 20 agents internationally at another national franchisor. His 11 years in real estate made him aware that this business is built on relationships and referrals at its core. Jason realised that he needed another opportunity to bring his vision to fruition. "I realised that a brand is experienced through what the agent does or don't do. At the end, it's about my brand." 22

He grabbed the opportunity to build his business under his own brand joining KW Impact in Somerset West in April 2019. Jason has a 85% success rate of securing sole mandates and he attributes this to knowing his numbers. Extensive time goes into professional preparation and research about the area and property figures. This has allowed me to build strong relationships with high-end developers. His belief about the strength of a personal brand was confirmed when several clients and developers moved their business with him to KW. The commission split was another pull to the company. He admits that he too joined the industry due to its flexibility and higher earning potential But after working as agent for a few years, he realised that this career can be so much more. "This is what the KW model represents for me. It allows growth in more facets than the traditional real estate companies offer."
Every day, top-producing agents are turning heads as they make the move to Keller Williams. Here’s a look at a few who are now proud to call KW home.

RIAAN VAN DEVENTER "I started in real estate after assisting my Dad's neighbour over a weekend with show houses as his agent got sick." That was in 1985 and Riaan van Deventer sold both the show houses. The following Monday, he resigned his day job ... Riaan van Deventer joined Keller Williams as Operating Principal and owner of KW Edge in Pretoria. He was Managing Director at an opposition company for 7 years before joining KW. "NiĂŤl Cronje scheduled a lunch with me while we were waiting at a traffic light. When we met for lunch during December 2014, he gave me the One Thing and a MREA to read." Riaan recognised that he was at the wrong company once he read the One Thing! He admits that his previous company was lacking business models, systems and accountability.
chance to develop a 7 level business with very little effort. He is focused on results and have a clear vision what he would like his top 20% in his market Centre to achieve. "Ultimately, my clients are the agents in my market centre and I regard them as potential Cappers at KW, putting their needs first. I want them to realise their businesses worth owning and lives worth living." He aims to remain in real estate for another 20 years merging into a coaching and mentoring role as Productivity Coach.
Under Riaan's leadership, KW Edge has grown from zero agents to 128 agents in only four years. Riaan is enegized by the knowledge that there is no limit to what one can do in this business and that every associate in his Market Centre has the 3 3

LOUIS HARDING SOMERSET WEST, WESTERN CAPE Initially he turned KW down, convinced that it was all 'smoke and mirrors', but after doing his own due diligence, Louis Harding was excited to move to KW. "The culture of KW was the final check for me - I realised that people will 'have my back' and I loved the synergy with my own values." Having had a 25 year career in the IT industry, the integration of KW's technology was another check for Louis.
He not only wanted to grow his business built on his client relationships, but also grow personally. "The whole KW model, system and culture are so condusive to growth. I love helping others develop their skills and see them and their businesses grow." Louis Harding is excited to build on his 13 years of real estate experience and influence others to build a business within Keller Williams with little financial layout.
His real estate career crossed paths with two franchisors but Louis found the area restrictions of traditional real estate franchisors frustrating since he was in business with a developer for lifestyle and retirement villages across the country.

NO MOUNTAIN TOO HIGH Exhausted, yet exhilarated, Shreve collapsed onto a warm granite slab at 7,659 feet to catch his breath and surveyed the thousands of massive California black oaks dotting the valley below. From atop El Cap, one of the world’s most famous technical rock climbs, the trees looked like miniature green cotton balls. “It was incredible, a dream come true,” says Shreve, 45, who grew up in Ogden, Utah, surrounded by mountains. He always envisioned himself scaling the Nose of El Cap; it was on his bucket list. Four months after Shreve’s first successful ascent, he did it again. “I love sitting in a place where the only way to get there is the way we did,” he says. “Climbing is a sport that requires every muscle you’ve got, technique, and mental stamina.” Shreve credits his feat to steadfast preparation and training with the help of a team of carefully chosen experts, dedication to his goal and a mindset for success. They’re tools he’s used for years in business, first growing a booming real estate practice, and then, for the last four years as a KW MAPS Coach, helping agents grow their businesses. The MAPS coaching program, led by Dianna Kokoszka, has won numerous awards for helping professionals transform their lives. “Part of the reason I wanted to
push this big goal was that I wanted to make sure I’m living the life I’m coaching,” Shreve says. “I challenge people to set a goal that sits just on the other side of what they think they’re capable of. The goal should make them

nervous.”
The First Attempt It was 2014 when Shreve first attempted to scale El Cap. Half of all climbers who attempt it are unsuccessful the first try. Most climbers make it to the top of the rock formation after three to five days of climbing. Shreve and his climbing partner planned for five. The weather that day in October was unseasonably hot and the system they rigged to haul up food and gear wasn’t working well. “We got up 1,000 feet and tapped out,” Shreve says. Hanging from El Cap’s sheer granite face, he called his wife, Terresa, on his phone. She encouraged him to keep going. “It had been my dream for so long,” Shreve says. But he knew by the middle of day three, he and his climbing partner would run out of water. “I said to my wife, ‘Honey, we’re going to make the smart choice and come down.’” Shreve was disappointed. Work and family then took over, but El Cap was always in the back of his mind. A year later, he was itching for a challenge. “If I don’t have something

He called a fellow climber friend to see if he’d be game to join him for another attempt at El Cap. “He said he’d do it with me if we did it in one day,” says Shreve. “You have to be climbing at an elite level to do that. It made me physically nauseous, but I committed right away.”

climbed it in two hours and 23 minutes. For Shreve, he was a hero, a celebrity. In college, Florine’s poster hung from Shreve’s wall. In 2016, Florine had just released a memoir. Correspondingly, Shreve logged onto Facebook and sent him a message. “One of my guiding philosophies in life is, ‘If you don’t ask, you don’t know,’” says Shreve. “I wrote to Hans, ‘I’m a 44-year-old father of four that The Training Begins cannot give up my obsession with the That same day, Shreve got to work.

MINDSET
WHILE YOU MAY NOT BE CLIMBING TO THE TOP OF EL CAPITAN ANY TIME SOON, YOU ARE SCALING UP MOUNTAINS EVERY DAY! USE THESE LESSONS FROM SHREVE’S CLIMB TO REACH NEW HEIGHTS IN BUSINESS AND IN LIFE.
1 Set a Big Goal with a clear objective. “Your goal should make you nervous.”
2 Commit to your goal and create an enviroment that supports it.
3 Seek out top experts (mentors/coaches) to help push you past the finish line. Great people cannot succeed alone.
4 Remain resolute in defending your training time.
solo practice climbs in Zion National Park, and he created scorecards for his workouts, rating his progress. “We started this very systematic training,” Shreve says. “I reported to him.”
Creating the Right Space for Success His three-hour workouts were going well, but Shreve soon realized he was succumbing to one of Gary Keller’s four thieves of productivity: his environment wasn’t supporting his goals. He knew he had to work out during the day. He wouldn’t sacrifice the time he spent after work with his wife of 21 years and four children. In the afternoons, he was committed to coaching his daughter’s soccer team. So, Shreve set out to create a training space in his office. He built a five-station custom climbing simulator that helped him build muscle, hone his technique and build endurance. This is where he worked out in the early morning before his work as a coach began. “If I had not done that, I wouldn’t have been successful,” he says. Training wasn’t easy. At times it was repititous and boring but understanding that consistency brings results over time, he pushed on. He even persevered after injuring his elbow and knee. “I had some terrible days, but I never missed one training day,” he says.
Shreve Defends His Training Time In business and in training, Shreve believes a morning routine is crucial. In his coaching, he recommends agents commit to lead-generating first thing, even if other “emergencies” try to pull you away. “Lots of things feel urgent,” Shreve says. “The secret in business is to be able to keep things in their lane.” Not a day passed without some task or event popping up that threatened Shreve’s training time. But he refused to let them interfere. “My plan for training was so clear,” he says. “It was easier for me to say ‘I can’t do that.’ Your clarity of plan will do much of the heavy lifting for you.” Knowing when to say “no” is also a valuable skill, he says.
Florine. In October, he and his friend returned, hoping to reach the summit in 24 hours. When Shreve took over to lead the ascent for the second half of the route, it was dark outside, but his training and fitness kicked in. After 33 hours of straight climbing, he reached the top of El Cap for a second time. El Capitan may have been on Shreve’s bucket list, but he believes anything “cool enough” to do once, you should probably do again. Now, he’s gearing up for a third ascent of the cliff next year. This time, his goal is to reach the top in under 12 hours. To succeed, “We all need a very clear objective,” Shreve says.
To the Top In June, Shreve climbed El Capitan with 7

Get your share of the 'gift' By Deon Terblanche
Although our agents do not assume financial, legal or management responsibilities, they are rewarded for growth with a portion of the revenue, as if they were owners. Gary Keller, explains, “We created a program that allows associates to build a business inside a real estate company that is as powerful as if they owned the company themselves.”
PASSIVE INCOME How does it work? It is simple! You just relate to and refer people who you believe would benefit from the income-earning potential, models and systems, training, technology or support to any Keller Williams Market Centre's Team Leader. So let's imagine you have a friendly relationship with Hope, an agent who is not with Keller Williams yet. One day at an open hour Hope tells you that her business is in a bit of a rut. Listening to her talking about her challenges, you realize that her sales results will improve as soon as she gets the benefit of great training, technology and leadership support. You talk about your Keller Williams experience with Hope and recommends that she meets with your Team Leader. The Team Leader will go through a thorough
interview process with Hope to determine if A portion of all KW joining Keller Williams is a win-win for her and the Market Centre. If contribute to your GROWTH SHARE. Hope decides that Keller Williams is a fit for her, the Team Leader will do the actual recruiting if the Market Centre. You will even be able to she is convinced that Hope will enjoy and be bequeath this passive income stream to your a fit for the Market Centre's culture. surviving spouse or children in your will.
FRANCHISE ROYALTIES
Growth Share After joining Keller Williams, as Hope's sponsor, Keller Williams will pay you a portion of the income earned by Keller Williams on every sale done by Hope. It is important to note that you will not be paid a portion of Hope's sales commission. Instead, you will be rewarded by Keller Williams from its own revenue on each sale done by Hope. You will earn Growth Share when you sponsor a productive agent to any Market Centre in the world outside of North America. Profit Share If you sponsor an agent to a Keller Williams Market Centre in North America, you stand a chance to earn Profit Share.
In an industry that is often plagued by insufficient retirement or worst-case scenario planning, that's a life worth living and a legacy worth leaving.
“...real money that pays
school fees, it provides a back-up income during quieter months, it pays unexpected doctors' bills, it pays for overseas trips...
“
The Growth and Profit Share program creates an interdependent relationship between agents and their Market Centre. Associates who are instrumental in attracting productive agents to Keller Williams will be rewarded with passive, potentially long-term income without investing any capital.
Keller Williams South Africa pays the Growth Share into your bank account on a quarterly basis. Growth Share or Profit Share is real money that pays school fees, it provides a back-up income during quieter months, it pays unexpected doctors' bills, it pays for overseas trips to events like Family Reunion in the United States, and much more. Amazingly, after three years and one day, your right to receive your share of the “Gift” vests, which means that you'll always receive it. If you retire or leave Keller Williams' service, you will still get your payments from Keller Williams, provided you stay in contact with
