Discover Keller Williams: founding story, sharing culture, mission, vision and answers to investor questions.

1983 · United States

The adventure begins in 1983 in the US, when two real estate consultants, Gary Keller and Joe Williams, asked themselves: what if we created a real estate company where success is determined by the ability to develop people's careers?

2014 · Portugal
Today, the largest global company in training, coaching and technology in real estate brokerage.

Present in Portugal since 2014, brought in by Nuno Ascensão and Eduardo Garcia e Costa, KW quickly established itself as the third largest player in the national real estate market. A company with a strong focus on growth, training and culture, treating consultants as partners at the heart of every deal.

FAQ

The questions every investor asks

The initial investment can vary according to the Market Center's location, size and structure.
It's KW's results-sharing system. Whoever attracts talent to the Market Center receives a percentage of the productivity generated by that talent, creating passive income.
No. The Incubation Plan prepares any investor in KW's systems, models and culture, even without prior experience in the real estate sector.
The return on investment occurs, on average, between year 1 and year 2, depending on the number of consultants and operating costs.
KW Portugal operates an interdependent franchise model, different from the traditional contractual real estate franchise model. It rests on three pillars: a culture of collaboration between Market Centers, proprietary technology supporting the real estate consultant, and continuous training for associates and franchisees.
