Keller Williams, is the most successful real estate platform in the world. To date, no other real estate franchise has united more brokers in its network or managed a greater volume of sales. In the 40 years of the company’s existence, an immense wealth of experience has flowed into the company’s innovative models and methods – which have led KW to success not only in its home territory of North America, but also in more than 50 other countries on five continents. We are delighted to be able to offer this network access to German realtors and to continue the history of the most successful broker platform in the world in Europe’s most successful and largest economy.
Led by Regional Operating Principal Swen Nicolaus, KW Germany is currently initializing operations.
For more than 20 years, Nicolaus has held leadership positions in real estate and finance. He recently served as the chief capital officer of Molo Finance, a digital mortgage bank. He also held management roles at J.P. Morgan, Deutsche Bank, and Funding Circle, a small business lending platform.
We define ourselves as a real estate services company for independent real estate broker entrepreneurs that provides much more services to make the life of a realtor easier than just a powerful tech platform. We want to establish our network brokers as the “Real Estate Agents of Choice” by facilitating long-term relationships between brokers and clients. Our focus is on individual brokers and teams and to provide them with the best possible service so that they have more time to spend with their customers. By doing so, we aim to become the most important player in the German real estate market.
Over the 40 years of history, Keller Williams has defied every market fluctuation, validating its business model, systems and culture in a wide variety of countries – and now we are finally also represented in Germany. For Swen personally, this is a huge opportunity to provide a model for everyone who sees their future in the real estate market we can provide them with structure and support and, above all, the necessary flexibility, even in difficult times.
Keller Williams is the largest real estate franchise in the world with more than 200,000 realtors worldwide. KW is an incredible network of realtors with a wonderful company culture, which we were able to experience first-hand during visits and training courses in the U.S., France and Turkey. The concept of common goals and success is not just a vision at Keller Williams, it is reality. The entrepreneurs at KW are all highly motivated and self-determined. And that chimes with our vision of how a company should be. We believe that the German market is open for disruption and a new market player.
