Keller Williams Realty Franchise

Keller Williams Realty, a Keller Williams Realty Intl franchise, has been franchising since 1983 , currently with 11,000 total locations in the real estate sector, headquartered in TX. According to the 2024 FDD, the total initial investment ranges from $183K to $336K, roughly a 84% gap between the low and high end once site size, local market, and buildout scope are factored in. This figure includes the franchise fee, equipment, leasehold improvements, and initial working capital through the ramp-up period.

This summary does not carry royalty or ad-fund figures for this brand -- Items 6 and 7 of the FDD hold the authoritative fee schedule. Critically, Keller Williams Realty does disclose financial performance data in Item 19, a voluntary disclosure that only about a third of U.S. franchisors make.. Revenue is not profit, actual franchisee take-home depends on rent, labor, cost of goods, and local demand.

The unit count trend here is positive -- Keller Williams Realty posted 1.8% net growth year-over-year (500 openings, 300 closures). Growing networks tend to signal healthy unit economics for prospective operators, though it is worth distinguishing organic demand from an aggressive franchise-sales push.
