What is it like working for Keller Williams as an agent?

[Jacob Chapman]

Hey everyone my BP!

TL DR: What has been your unfiltered experience working for Keller Williams?

some things have changed my job and it's likely that I'll need to do a full career change out of being a certified apartment manager, and I'm wanting to keep things as close as possible to investing mindsets to keep me on track personally.

I've been interested in becoming a real estate agent part-time, but with this opportunity it's possible I might jump in full time right off the bat. I know that has a higher risk to it seeing as real estate is 100% commission feast or famine. Generic real estate ancient concerns aside, what has it been like working for Keller Williams? They've been raided as one of the highest overall best franchises to work under, but enough sometimes a lot of those reviews are biased. What has been your best to the best and your worst of the worst times?

Hey Jacob,

Congrats on deciding to make moves.

I first got my license back in 2015 and joined my local Keller Williams. I was naive at the time and thought that I'd be receiving leads and one on one training in-house but as many agents find out that's not the case in any brokerage. 

Some of the positives is that they offer group trainings for contracts, listing appointments, laws etc. 

I left the company because ultimately my goal was always to become an investor (not an agent) and I also learned that there were other brokerages that charge less of a split between agent and broker. KW is great as a foundation but eventually most agents part ways once they start making a certain amount of income.

Hope that helps.
