Keller Williams Family Reunion Red Bash

The party started innocently enough. We put on our tshirts, stood in line with 7600 other Keller Williams agents to go into the Red Bash. Agents from Virginia dressed in colonial garb. Agents from Oregon were dressed as super heros. We were horses off to the races. Anyone could tell because of the horse signs we held that Scott put together and handed out. Then Angie gave is whistles and all heck broke loose. We steamed thru security, went up the spiral staircase, went up to the front of the stage and waved our signs. When you looked at the tv screens all you could see in every shot were our signs. We danced and hollered it was so much fun. We are in business with the greatest people in the world.

Market projections at Keller Williams Family Reunion

The first day of family reunion in Atlanta Georgia was pretty amazing. After getting to see some features comming out in Top Producer 8i, we went to see Gary Keller and Dave Jenks talk about the current state of the economy and the housing market. Gary Keller is a self proclaimed realist. There wasn't anything flowery about what he had to say. I will say he and his staff poured over mountains of data to explain and interpret numbers that will equip us to thrive in this current market. In a nutshell; we will be in a buyers market for some time. The market needs more time to correct as housing prices are still too high nationally. This greatly affects affordability. We need to streamline our businesses, focus and work hard to stay in the game.

KW East Plans For Family Reunion

The greatest minds currently in the Real Estate business in Louisville Kentucky gathered today to plan our we as we head to the greatest conference ever. Keller Williams international presents Family reunion Atlanta 2008. We can't wait.

Perry wore his red KW shoes. He modeled them, ran and Danced in them. We talked about where we'll meet for dinner, how to find what classes to go to. We put people together who need to share hotel rooms. We can't wait.

We voted on what we want to wave during the Red Bash. The Red Bash is a huge party where all the Keller Williams Agents in the world, wear red cloths, listen to amazing music and eat great food. There is a fiesta atmosphere at the red bash. We get really silly. We wave cheap things in the air. We scream at the top of their lungs. Go Louisville!

Keller Williams Realty Louisville East Under Construction

To most people, this may look like a run-of-the mill construction site. To those of us agents growing our Real Estate Businesses under the Banner of Keller Williams, it looks like a dream come true.


Keller Williams Louisville East Went Under Construction January 24th 2008. We want to be finished with the buildout on March 1st 2008.

Meanwhile we are meeting in a temporary Space across the hall. That's where we gather to hand in our contracts, meet with our broker and get weekly updates of our progress. I've heard it said,"happy families grow up in small houses." It's true. We are having so much fun right now in our little temporary space. It's such a blast.

Lynn and Heidi speak at GLAR

Lynn Thomas and Heidi Fore sat alone together in the front of the room at the Greater Louisville Association of Realtors event of the monthly coffee round table Friday February 1st 2008 to a packed house. Once they started the program, latecommers found themselves in a standing room only venue. There were no more seats. Both women represented Keller Williams with excellence.

Once they were asked questions about how they marketed their listings, Heidi began detailing her system. Lynn added her approach. What was most noticeable was though Lynn and Heidi work at the Same company, and are obvious good friends, their syles of marketing and approach to their buisnesses differ.

They were both frank and honest about their differing styles and both seem to be very comfortable with how they run their businesses. They are obviously both successful and their styles fit what they do. "That's they beauty of it", said Lynn, "there is no one right way to do it. You can take the way you are and do it that way and it works."

What they had in common was the intensity in how they work. They both bend over backwards to serve their clients. They obviously care about them and their businesses. It was inspiring to hear them talk about their marketing. There were so many great ideas they offered it was tough to write it all down. Then the audience offered ideas of what they do and the room became an exciting atmoshere of open forum and ideas. I'm glad I didn't miss it and I can't wait to see the next one.

Jacki and Jerry Shafer

Our good friends Jacki and Jerry Shafer (pictured with Tony Dicello at a Keller Williams conference we went to in Columbus Ohio) are some of our favorite friends in the world. They work with us in Keller Williams and are helping us open the new Keller Williams East office on Hurstborne Lane in Louisville Kentucky. The new address for that office is 1230 S. Hurstbourne Lane suite 100 Louisville Kentucky 40222.

They were recently on a radio show that was talking about the current real estate market and they came on and did an EXCELLENT job talking about Keller Williams and what it's like to work there. Their entire segment was about Keller Williams and the difference between KW and other companies. They were extremely clear and articulate. It really is fantastic. Just sit through the first 10 minutes of the show before Jacki and Jerry go on. Then, after the commercial, there is still more engaging conversation.
