January KW Canada Newsletter

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.

I would like to acknowledge a few of these elements that wove a web of

success in 2010. First of all, congratulations to the associates who are out

there every day building their business of real estate. It takes a special

person to succeed in the field of real estate. Your inspiring level of service

makes us all proud to be part of Keller Williams Canada.

Congratulations OP's, TL's and MCA's and office staff. You are always

showing up and committed to your associate’s success. Thank you

leaders for what you have accomplished and the difference you are

making in the Real estate industry.

Thank you to the KW Canadian Advisory Council members. We are

grateful for your commitment to ensuring the content and quality of our

value propositions are delivered to our associates with a Canadian

perspective.
