Keller Williams Realty in Simi Valley was opened in October of 2005 by Robert Harris, the Operating Principal. He hired Chris Loveall to be his first Team Leader in February of 2006. The Market Center Admin is Denise Rasmussen. Robert, Denise and Chris have grown the Market Center from 18 agents to 140 as of September 2008.
The genesis for Keller Williams® Realty Inc. evolved out of Gary Keller's desire to build a company that valued ethics, integrity, and people. Gary founded the company on the premise that as a servant leader he would work for his agents, treat them as partners, and even share company profits with them.
However in 1983, Gary had difficulty securing loans to start the business he envisioned. So, he partnered with fellow agent Joe Williams to raise $42,000 in seed money, and incredibly, Keller Williams Realty earned more than $100,000 in profit its first year.
Through many struggles, Gary's commitment to building the country's most dynamic and profitable real estate franchise system grew even stronger. Today, Keller Williams Realty is the fourth largest real estate franchise firm in North America.
Keller Williams Realty is founded on an “agents as partners†business model. Agents and staff have access to the company’s financial reports, share in up to 50% of company profits, and have a say in all decisions. This model encourages agents and brokers to share their best practices with each other and rewards associates who bring others into the company. It is these industry-changing philosophies that have rocketed Keller Williams past older, more established companies to claim a top-five spot in the real estate industry.
In 2005, Keller Williams Realty grossed over $2.1 billion in gross commission income and shared over $48 million in profits with its agents and administrative staff. Currently, the company has more than 550 offices and more than 72,000 agents in North America.
