KWX Named Brokerage to Watch in 2009

RISMedia released its annual Power Broker report for 2009. The report surveys the real estate industry and in addition to naming trends and listing the top brokerages in sales and transactions, it also lists brokerages set to emerge in 2009: Enter Keller Williams Excellence.

Out of the 300 companies nationwide, Keller Williams franchises accounted for an astounding 238 brokerages, or just shy of 80%.

Here in Maryland, 12 brokerages made the list, including Keller Williams Excellence. Out of those 12, an overwhelming 11 of them were Keller Williams.

The report also comments on the current eroding market, but notes you can still succeed

"This year’s Power Broker Survey results demonstrate that even
in the worst economy since Eisenhower, basic fundamentals and a strong will are more powerful than ever."

FAQ:

Q. I have a settlement coming up, and I want to get paid at the table. How
to I get that DA thing??

A. Send Michele an e-mail with the property address, sales price,
commission percentage and title company. Please give me at least 24 hours
notice. Remember, you need to have all of your hotsheet items completed
before I can authorize a DA. If there are any outstanding items, this
should give you enough time to get those last minute initials/signatures. If
everything is in line, I will get your DA right out to you!
