Keller Williams Voted Top Workplace of 2013

Columbus CEO declared Keller Williams Realty of Central Ohio the top workplace for large employers in 2013. Furthermore, Keller Williams ranked first in  J.D. Power and Associates 2012 customer satisfaction survey taken by home buyers and sellers. It’s dedication to employee success, community involvement and empowerment through continued education are just some of the many qualities that distinguish this company. What sets Keller Williams (KW) apart from other Realty companies, in particular, is its value on individual contribution. This illustrates the company’s belief that real estate is a local business, driven by individual agents and their brands. Keller Williams provides agents with the tools and resources they need to thrive: frequent educational classes and a sense of community in which agents are eager to help one another. 

One unique feature of Keller Williams is its Agent Leadership Council. Members are selected from the top 20 percent of agents in each office. The Council meets monthly and makes decisions regarding marketing funds, classes offered, and philanthropic contributions. According to Mic Gordon, operating principal of the agency’s KW Greater Columbus Realty arm, this makes Keller Williams an “organic company,’ and not a top-down organization. The classes not only make agents better agents: they also foster leadership and life skills that employees feel help them grow in all aspects of their lives. The company’s focus on corporate responsibility also helps employee growth. KW sponsors KW Cares, which is a non-profit organization that gives back to the communities where the agents live and work. Furthermore, Keller Williams agents gather annually to participate in “red day,” a day filled with community service such as picking up trash, planting gardens, and renovating community centers.
