Every year, Keller Williams has a wonderful convention called Family Reunion. The point is to gather the agents from Keller Williams Realty from all over the country together to share, learn, and have a wonderful time together. This year, fortunately, it was based in Orlando, Florida, which was perfect, considering the weather we have had lately in Portland… (I took advantage of the beautiful weather there.)
The convention was AWESOME! Not only did I get the opportunity to spend quality time with the people I traveled with from our Sunset Corridor office, but I got to learn from the pros; the people who have learned what works! After returning from this trip, I am so motivated and have really been reminded what I love about this company and real estate. I learned how to make those changes from my every day routine so I can increase my sales and be more effective. I talked to many people who are very successful and they were so open and willing to share what has worked for them.
It was so refreshing to see all of the agents who really exemplify what this company is all about. Teamwork, sharing, helping each other, because, in the end, we are a team. We learned that Keller Williams is now the #3 real estate company in the country(!!!!) moving from the #4 spot last year, and that Keller Williams was the only company with profits this last year, and most importantly, there were no lay offs at the corporate level!
Also, our particular office, Keller Williams Sunset Corridor, won three awards!! Our hard work has paid off! We are very proud of our team leader, Beth King, and all of the hard work she has done to help us get where we are.
I am excited to return next year to the Family Reunion, which will be in New Orleans!
Here is a quote from the CEO of Keller Williams, Mark Willis:
“The success of Keller Williams Realty can be directly attributed to the hard work and perseverance of our associates and the soundness of our economic and organizational models,” said Mark Willis, CEO of Keller Williams Realty, Inc. “While others might be looking at this market and seeing fear and uncertainty, we have always approached it as our opportunity to shine and grow. And that mindset has paid off.”

During Thomas Jefferson’s presidency he and a group of travelers were crossing a river that had overflowed its banks. Each man crossed on horseback fighting for his life. A lone traveler watched the group traverse the treacherous river and then asked President Jefferson to take him across. The president agreed without hesitation, the man climbed on, and the two made it safely to the other side of the river where somebody asked him: “Why did you select the President to ask this favor?” The man was shocked, admitting he had no idea it was the President of the United States who had carried him safely across. “All I know,” he said, “is that on some of your faces was written the answer ‘No’ and on some of them was the answer ‘Yes.’ His was a ‘Yes’ face.”
