Profit Share and Growth Share, explained.
Keller Williams shares profits with the agents who help it grow. Here is how Profit Share and Growth Share work, in plain language.
How Profit Share works
When agents close deals, part of each commission goes to their market center until they reach their annual cap. The market center uses that revenue to cover its operating expenses, and a significant portion of what remains is shared with agents who helped the market center grow by attracting productive agents to Keller Williams.
When a new agent joins and names the agent who introduced them, that agent becomes their sponsor. Profit Share can extend across seven levels, so agents can benefit from the growth they help create over time.
How Growth Share works
Each month, market centers send a portion of their revenue to Keller Williams and to their region. Growth Share lets participating agents share in their region's results, adding another way to benefit from the growth of the KW network.
Why it matters
Commissions end when you stop selling. Profit Share and Growth Share reward the relationships you build and the agents you bring to Keller Williams, and KW describes this as income that can continue after your last deal closes.
