Cottonwood Properties, a Keller Williams Team

Culture

Our values at Keller Williams Realty are God, family and then business, in that exact order. Our mission is to build careers worth having, businesses worth owning, and lives worth living. We strive to be the real estate company for a new generation of associates and real estate owners. Our unique culture creates a sense of family and community that is rare and unique in the real estate industry. When you're here, you're family. The Keller Williams culture is all about agents helping agents and has been designed to ensure every one of our associates gets a helping hand whenever they need one. Whether it’s help with a contract or help after an unforeseen tragedy, Keller Williams will be there for you. "Whether it's serving each other, serving our communities or serving our planet, a culture of doing more than just selling real estate defines us as a company."

RED Day

Renew, Energize and Donate is an initiative dedicated to celebrating Keller Williams' year-round commitment to improving our local communities. Each year, on the second Thursday in May, tens of thousands of associates participate in a wide range of projects, devoting their time to renewing and energizing aspects of the neighborhoods in which they serve. Projects are chosen by each individual market center based on a need they see within its community. Recognizing her leadership in guiding the culture of our company, RED Day is held in honor of Mo Anderson, Vice Chairman of the Board, Keller Williams. It's an entrenched part of our culture and displays the extraordinary effect a company can have when individuals come together to work as a team for the greater good of everyone.

Wealth Building

In keeping with the philosophy that agents are partners and stakeholders in the success of the business, Keller Williams Realty has created a distinct wealth building platform through which our leadership teams and office owners reward those who have contributed to a market center's growth by attracting productive associates to the office. In the United States and Canada we do this through profit share; and across the world, through growth share. Watch Video KW Cares

KW Cares

is a charity created by and for Keller Williams associates and their families. It's here to help any agent who's faced with hardship as a result of a sudden emergency. The charity is the heart of Keller Williams culture in action – finding and serving the higher purpose of business through charitable giving in the market centers and communities where Keller Williams associates live and work. Watch Video KW Wellness Program Keller Williams is one of the few brokerages that offer any sort of health coverage for their associates. Since as many as one in four real estate agents are currently without health insurance, we felt it was our obligation to make sure our associates were taken care of. We view our agents as family and family takes care of their own. With the rising cost of heath care, we have developed the KW Health Plan to help provide health insurance for real estate agents that guarantees coverage for every one of our associates at a reasonable price.
