KW's unique approach to real estate is a longstanding tradition that dates back to the story of its founding.

Our Story

Keller Williams was founded in 1983 by Gary Keller and Joe Williams in Austin, Texas. They began with a simple objective—form a national real estate franchise that uplifts agents instead of exploiting them. This important value is present in every aspect of the company—from KW's unique profit-sharing structure to KW's emphasis on living balanced lives full of faith, family, and friends.

Our Mission

To build careers worth having, businesses worth owning, and lives worth living.

Our Vision

Our Perspective
