Agents at Keller Williams Realty Madison West and Madison Crossroads were beaming with pride when Real Estate Magazine released its 20th Annual Power Broker Report in its April issue.
The Madison offices, along with its sister office in Wausau, made the list of the Top 500 real estate offices in the United States. The three offices were ranked 316th for transactions and 361st in the sales rankings out of 887 companies who were participated in the survey.
“We are extremely excited to make the list," said Darren Kittleson, Operating Principal of the three offices. "Those rankings may not seem like much at first glance but when you take into account how many thousands of real estate offices there are in the United States, this is quite an honor for us.
"Although we one of the youngest companies to come into the market, our sales volume and sold units has climbed steadily over the past 6 years” states Kittleson.
"We always tell people we are one of the best companies in the local area and this helps to validate what we tell everyone," said Brett Boettge, Team Leader at the Madison Crossroads office. "Our education, training, KW Systems and culture have helped our agents stay productive even with the recent downturn in the market."
"Our agents work hard for their clients and have embraced the tools that the office has to offer," adds Jessica Fox, Team Leader at the Madison West office. "That is why we continue to stay highly profitable when other offices are merging with each other or closing down. We are also excited that they picked us one of the companies to watch," said Fox. "Keller Williams has always been one of the most innovative national real estate companies and has been called the "Microsoft of Real Estate" because of its unique model. We follow the model and that has helped us stay competitive in this market."
The annual rankings are based on results garnered from a survey by RISMedia, publisher of Real Estate Magazine. Based on these results, Kittleson has been invited to speak at the RISMedia Annual Power Broker Forum in Colorado this July
“They’ve asked me to speak on the topic of maintaining profitability in a downturn market” states Kittleson. “Our rise in the rankings from 499 in 2006 to 316 in 2007 without any company mergers or acquisitions has been an indicator that what we are doing is working. I’m excited about the opportunity to share this with top industry leaders in July.”
The magazine ranks residential brokerage firms according to closed transaction numbers and closed sales volume. All sales and transaction volume comes directly from brokerages, and is verified and substantiated by external sources-in most cases, accounting firms-prior to publication.
