In June of 2007 a group of highly successful agents joined forces with the common goal of launching a Keller Williams Realty franchise in the Pinehurst/ Southern Pines Area. Since Keller Williams Realty franchises have to be earned before they can be awarded this core group of 6 agents formed a ‘front company’ they called FrontGate Properties. In just a year and a half FrontGate Properties grew to be the largest, and most successful real estate firm in the area. In December of 2008 they were proudly awarded their Keller Williams Realty franchise. Since that time Keller Williams Realty Pinehurst has continued to grow and has become the most successful Real Estate Company in the area. Keller Williams Realty with over 50 agents is consistently ranked as the number one real estate firm in the area in both total dollar closed sales volume and number of transactions. Keller Williams Realty offices do not follow traditional real estate office models and are often the largest real estate firms in their area and are typically located in densely populated and urban areas. Founded in 1983, Keller Williams Realty Inc. is the third-largest real estate franchise operation in the United States, with 679 offices and 73,000 associates in the United States and Canada. The company, which began franchising in 1990, has an agent-centric culture that emphasizes access to leading-edge education and promotes an economic model that rewards associates as stakeholders and partners. The company also provides specialized agents in luxury homes and commercial real estate properties. Keller Williams Realty agent associates work on the “team” concept and have phenomenal support and network systems across the US and Canada. Keller Williams Realty agents and associates share common goals and beliefs that are based on fairness, honesty, trust, integrity and professionalism.
