KW Cares-Caring Associates Responding to Emergencies


What is KW Cares?


KW Cares is a tax exempt 501(c)(3) public charity created to support Keller Williams Realty associates and their families faced with extreme hardship as a result of a sudden emergency. Hardship is defined as a difficult circumstance that a person or family cannot handle without outside help.

This charity is the heart of the Keller Williams Realty culture in action – finding and serving the higher purpose of business through charitable giving in the communities where our agents live and work.

KW Cares was the brainchild of the agents of Keller Williams Realty and Mo Anderson, CEO of Keller Williams Realty International, took this dream and brought it to fruition. Today it is supported by all KW associates.

KW Cares supports our associates in times of national and personal crisis. KW Cares also benefits other charities that are aligned with the mission and values of Keller Williams Realty and KW Cares.

People Who Care



A lot of companies say they function as a family. At Keller Williams Realty, we truly do and this approach guides us every day in how we conduct our business.

We support one another in achieving goals and celebrate the accomplishment of milestones. We treat each other with respect and integrity. We challenge ourselves and our colleagues in a productive, meaningful way. We encourage growth and self-discovery, and have fun in the process. And we lend a hand whenever it is needed.

What Makes Keller Williams Different From Other Companies?



Founded in 1983, Keller Williams Realty Inc. is an international real estate company with more than 600 offices located across the United States and Canada. The company began franchising in 1991, and following years of phenomenal growth and success, became the fourth-largest U.S. residential real estate firm in North America in 2006. The company has succeeded by treating its associates as partners and shares its knowledge, policy control and company profits on a system-wide basis.


Structured for Success

The interdependent business model of Keller Williams Realty supports agents and brokers working as a team to maximize personal productivity and company profits.

Most real estate companies operate on a dependent model where the broker provides leads to salespeople and then offers them a commission, or they operate on an independent model where agents receive minimal support from the broker but keep more of the commission. In contrast to these traditional models, the Keller Williams model fosters a synergistic environment where both parties succeed through teamwork, by encouraging agents and brokers to share their best practices with each other and reward associates who help the company to grow. It is these industry-changing philosophies that have fueled the recent growth of Keller Williams Realty past older, more established companies to claim a top-four spot in the real estate industry.
