Who you are in business with matters. And with no shortage of real estate agents here in the mountains of north Georgia and western North Carolina, it helps to understand what sets Keller Williams and The Mountain Life Team agents apart from the rest of the crowd.
OUR CULTURE
To understand Keller Williams (KW) and any of its franchisees is to first understand the company culture. The mission of KW is to build careers worth having, businesses worth owning, lives worth living, experiences worth giving, and legacies worth leaving. At KW, we define "culture" as the result of arranging a company's aims around solid, positive core principles and then cultivating them on a regular basis. Now, I know what you’re thinking—“this sounds like some corporate jargon that doesn’t really mean anything outside of a board room”. But to us, it’s much more than words. It’s true words in action.
OUR BELIEFS
KW’s culture can be summed up by several things, including our belief system which we refer to as “WI4C2TS” (pronounced “why four see two tees”). We use this to guide how we treat each other and how we do business. The acronym breaks down like this:
- Win-Win: or no deal
- Integrity: do the right thing
- Customers: always come first
- Commitment: in all things
- Communication: seek first to understand
- Creativity: ideas before results
- Teamwork: together everyone achieves more
- Trust: starts with honesty
- Equity: opportunities for all
- Success: results through people
This formula is key to our success and why we are number one in our field according to agent count, units, and sales volume. As the largest real estate franchise in the world, our clearly-defined culture is widely understood and embraced by its team members. In a 2016 study by Stanford University, researchers found evidence of “an exceptionally strong culture
with little variation across market centers”. The study found that KW associates describe the company culture as ethical and one that fosters collaboration. And we couldn’t agree more.
OUR VALUES
Our culture also consists of KW values. These can be summed up as “God, Family, then Business”, something we strive for each and every day. We are humbled by every opportunity we are given and handle each client interaction with the same care we would extend to our family. Keller Williams' belief system serves as a unifying pattern for action and understanding, reminding employees that customers always come first, trust begins with honesty, and people are the driving force behind success.
OUR TECHNOLOGY
In addition, we are a technology company that provides the real estate platform that our agents’ buyers and sellers prefer. KW thinks like a top producer, acts like a trainer-consultant, and focuses all its activities on service, productivity, and profitability. We have internal technology to provide top-notch marketing for each of our listings from listing to closing. And our client app is second to none offering features designed to make your home buying process smooth and transparent.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR YOU?
So what does KW beliefs, values, and perspective mean to the buyer and seller? It stands for a commitment to providing the highest level of service combined with integrity, honesty, transparency, and communication possible by each and every KW team member, both agents and support staff. When you work with Keller Williams staff, you’re truly treated like family which is why The Mountain Life Real Estate Team has such a high level of repeat clients.
