Awesome News! Keller Williams Realty Ranked as Top Real Estate Franchise by Industry Leader and Entrepreneur Magazine                                                          December 21, 2009

AUSTIN, TEXAS (December 21, 2009) — Keller Williams Realty joined the ranks of the top franchises in the world last week, when the company was ranked as the No. 1 real estate franchise on the 31^st Annual Franchise 500 list by Entrepreneur magazine. During the same week, the company was also voted the Most Recognizable Brand of Real Estate Franchises for 2009 in an industry-wide survey for the Swanepoel TRENDS Report.

“The Swanepoel TRENDS Report is a respected source for the real estate industry and beyond, as is Entrepreneur magazine, and we are excited to see our agents honored in this way for all of their hard work,” said Mark Willis, CEO, Keller Williams Realty. “We certainly wouldn’t have been included on either list without the dedication and resolve of our agents.”

According to the ranking in Entrepreneur magazine, the most important criteria to determine the top franchises included financial strength and stability, as well as growth rate and size of the franchise system. The magazine also looked at the number of years the company has been in business and the length of time it’s been franchising, in addition to start-up costs and financial data. Additionally, Keller Williams Realty made an impressive showing on the overall list, placing higher than any other real estate franchise.

The Swanepoel TRENDS Report is published by Stefan Swanepoel, a real estate industry speaker and insider. The survey was crafted to determine the Most Recognizable Brand for Real Estate Franchises for his report out in February 2010. The survey included votes cast by 11,000 plus real estate agents, who cast 390,000 votes to select the top 10.

Earlier in the year,Keller Williams Realty also received the highest overall satisfaction ratings from home buyers among the largest full-service real estate firms from J.D. Power and Associates for the second year in a row.

“We are extremely proud that our associates and company are being recognized for our strength and stability during this time in our industry,” said Mary Tennant, president and COO, Keller Williams Realty. “We attribute our success to being in business with phenomenal people and to our core business models, which have allowed our franchises to thrive during any market.”

Well I’ve got the answers!

Have you wondered whether you should invest in a home warranty if you are buying or selling your home? A home warranty is one of the best things you can do to protect yourself against the costs of unexpected repairs. The standard home warranty is a one year service contract that protects a resale homebuyer or or current homeowner against unforeseen home repairs or the replacement of major systems and appliances that break down due to normal usage. Home warranties also are extremely helpful for those who are selling, by covering unexpected costs which can delay the close of sale.

Home warranties may cover items not covered under standard home insurance plans. With home warranty protection, the gaps that an insurance plan may not cover, can be filled. Oftentimes, a home warranty is renewable from year to year.

I often ask my clients to please consider investing in a home warranty, so that they can enjoy peace of mind, convenience, and budget protection when buying or selling their next home!
