Keller Williams Canada is Growing!
To all Canadian Associates, Leadership and Staff
Keller Williams Canada is growing! The number of agents in Canada rose
24% in 2010 to 1522. At this growth rate we will reach close to 4500 in five
years time. Our goal is to reach 4500 associates in Canada by
January 2016.
To reach a powerful goal we know there are a lot of factors that come
into play such as; a great plan, commitment, belief and accountability.
One of the most important elements required to reach a lofty goal is
Teamwork. It is part of our company's belief system, our WI4C2TS. Our
KW Canada family became a stronger team in 2010.
