The Keller Williams Profit-Share system provides an opportunity for all of its associates to earn passive income by recruiting talented real estate agents and helping the company grow. All KW associates have the privilege to participate in a great wealth building Profit Share program.
Why Profit Share?
At Keller Williams Realty, we are growing a Profit Share Tree because we solidly believe our associates should be treated like stakeholders. Profit Sharing is exactly what it sounds like. We share almost 50 percent of every Market Center’s owner profit with the associates who help grow the company. We do it because that’s how you treat stakeholders..
This belief is foundational to who we are. We truly believe that together everyone achieves more.
When a Market Center has a profitable month, those profits are split between the owners who took the risk of investing in the Market Center and the associates who helped the Market Center grow.
Profit Sharing means that any associate can become part of the growth trajectory for any Keller Williams Market Center, and can be rewarded with passive, potentially long-term income without investing any capital. You can be a part of your company’s success and you are rewarded with a portion of the profits.
Completely, Entirely, Wholly Absolutely Passive Income
The income you can receive from Profit Share – your reward for helping the company grow – is an absolutely passive opportunity. You share in the profits of the company like an owner would, but without any personal risks or investing any capital.
• No financial risk
• No legal risk
• No down payment
• No phone calls
How KW Profit-Share Works
- An associate joins any Market Center in Keller Williams Realty and names you as their sponsor*.
- In a particular month, as part of their commission split, the associate pays the appropriate portion to their Market Center.
- During that month, their Market Center is profitable.
- On the 21st of the following month, Profit Share is automatically deposited to your account.
Special Note: You are not getting a portion of the associate’s commission. You are sharing in the owner’s profits. - After you’ve been with Keller Williams for seven years, you are vested; your profit share distributions will continue to roll in as long as the associates you sponsored down your seven levels continue contributing to the profit of the market center and you do not subsequently compete or recruit against Keller Williams.
- If you choose to exit production, the checks will follow and your profit share tree will continue to provide shade for all those under it for generations to come.
*Whenever a real estate agent joins Keller Williams, he or she names one person who primarily introduced him or her to Keller Williams and had the most impact on their decision-making process in joining the Keller Williams family.
The person’s name that the new agent will include in their application form is entirely his or her decision. It may not have been the first or the last person you talked to. It was the person who was most impactful on your decision-making process. That person was your sponsor.
How Profit Share Grows
As you can see, your earning potential increases with every person you recruit as a new KW agent. Just as you are asked to name your sponsor when you join KW, the agents that you recruit and name you as their sponsor become your “First Level”. When those agents sponsor recruits, they become your Second Level.
In the example, recruiting just 3 people in your first level can easily become 12 people in your downline (3 in Level 1 and 9 in Level 2). Currently, the KW Profit Share program extends 7 levels downline. That means your ability to earn passive income is incredible!
