about keller williams

---

At Keller Williams, we believe that integrity and honesty are the keys to gaining your trust. Our customers always come first, and we are committed to making sure each situation results in a “win-win” -or there is no deal. We strive to communicate effectively by seeking first to understand, and recognize that great ideas are the precursor to great results and that success is the result seen through people. We value teamwork and appreciate that together everyone achieves more.

We function as a family. We believe in building a career worth having, businesses worth owning, and lives worth living. We value God, family, then work. At Keller Williams Realty, we place such an importance on this, that we have designed a culture that fosters this. This approach guides us every day in how we conduct our real estate business.

Keller Williams considers contribution and giving essential to a person’s well-being. We simply aren’t complete without a community, and the will to give back to our community has led to the founding of several distinct organizations and events.

Every May, KW Associates around the world dedicate the second Thursday to community service. Thousands of associates don their red t-shirts and get out of the office to “give where they live,” leaving a lasting impact on their communities and neighborhoods. Since the first RED Day in 2009, KW agents have given nearly a half million hours of community service in this annual event alone.

Hearts and Hands is a not-for-profit organization established by KW associates to give back to local charities aligned with the mission and values of Keller Williams Realty. It is staffed entirely by volunteers who wish to selflessly serve their community. It provides leadership and volunteerism opportunities for those wanting to serve. The majority of their monies are raised through fund-raising events and individual donations which then are returned to other charities in the greater Cincinnati area.

Agents Helping Agents is an assistance program for Keller Williams Realty associates and real estate agents facing extraordinary life challenges. AHA hosts an Annual Margarita Pour Off, a charity event sponsored by many of the Signature Services Vendors and KW Agents in the community to raise money for local Keller Williams agents in need, as well as cancer research. With more than two dozen margarita booths, live music and auctions, it is an extraordinary event that has changed lives and offered hope to associates facing cancer treatment, sudden loss, and illness. KW has taken a stand that associates will not face these life challenges alone, and AHA, as well KW Cares, Sharing & Caring, and Hearts & Hands are the embodiment of that culture.

KW Cares is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) public charity created to support Keller Williams associates and their families in times of 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 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 continues to support Keller Williams associates and their families. The charity is committed to supporting associates in need during times of local, regional, national, and personal crisis. Both KW Heritage and City View regularly contribute to this incredible charity.
