         Gary Keller, Co-founder

     and

        Chairman of the Board 

      Keller Williams Realty

                        

     

    You came to the 2008 Shift Tour.  Why come back?  Ask yourself...

    • Are you  holding your money accountable?
    • Is every one of your listings priced in the market?
    • Are your lead generation efforts producing the RIGHT leads?
    • Do you know the right scripts for buyers who want to wait?

    In response to Gary's statement from Family Reunion 2009-- "the next 180 days will make you or break you"--there is an urgency to act.  This tour addresses the select tactics that are most critical to take action on now!

     

    What's different?  A focus on you, a focus on your local market conditions, and activities based and action oriented.
