Every real estate agent and team in the State of Washington has a business relationship with a real estate brokerage.
Not to be confused with a real estate broker, which, in our state, is another name used for agents or salespersons.
In short, a real estate brokerage is where an agent "hangs" their license so they can go into the market to help clients buy and sell homes.
At a minimum, a brokerage is responsible for compliance with the state, keeping documents & records, and oversight of all their individual brokers.
At a maximum, a brokerage is a partnership where they invest fully in the success of their agents, putting the goals and needs of the individual brokers ahead of theirs.
The latter is extremely uncommon and there is no company that does it better than Keller Williams.
Now, this isn't some knee jerk description to fill a blog post... when we say this, we mean it. Here are a handful of awards Keller Williams has recently won:
- "Best Companies for Diversity 2020" ~Forbes, 2020
- "Best Places to Work 2020" ~Glassdoor, 2020
- "Top-Rated Workplace for Veterans" ~Indeed, 2019
- "One of America's Best Employers for Women" ~Forbes, 2019
- "Most Innovative Franchises in Real Estate" ~FBR, 2020
- "#1 Top Work-Life Balance Company" ~Indeed, 2019
With headlines like this, it's easy to understand why, hands down, the Pivotal Team is working with the best brokerage in the business... and we haven't even mentioned the technology.
Chances are you've heard of Keller Williams because, in the US, we've achieved the Triple Crown of real estate. This means we're:

Now, on the off chance you're reading this thinking, "I haven't heard much about Keller Williams."
The reason for this is because, rather than spend their earnings to advertise to consumers - aka, compete with their own agents and sell leads back to them - they invest those dollars creating world class education and technology.
In 2017, Keller Williams earned the title of No.1 Training Organization in the World. This is thanks to their dedicated team of course writers, researchers, coaches, editors and support members.
