“And so we’re extremely pleased to report that our agents changed 1.3 million lives in 2021,” said Liebert. “We brought 1.3 million people home.”

“We are very proud of our continuing market share gains in the U.S. and Canada, while we declined slightly in transactions and new listings – that’s more indicative of the base effect of Q4 ’20,” said Jason Abrams, head of industry, kwx. “The COVID shutdowns in early 2020 allowed for a significant influx of pent-up housing demand to hit our agents in Q4 of 2020.”
“As a result, our ongoing market share gains can best be seen in our year-end results and by comparing our Q4 ’21 to our Q4 ’19 benchmarks,” said Abrams. “Compared to Q4 ’19, across the U.S. and Canada, our agents increased our homes sold and new listings up 21.8% and 2.2%, respectively.”

KW Cares What is KW Cares?KW Cares was the brainchild of Keller Williams agents who had a dream to reach out and support fellow KW associates facing financial hardship due to major emergencies. Mo Anderson, vice chairman of Keller Williams Realty, took this dream and brought it to fruition as a public charity. Today, KW Cares is supported by associates from across North America. It has truly become the heart of the Keller Williams culture in action, finding and serving the higher purposes of business through charitable giving in the market centers and communities where KW associates live and work. History of KW CaresDesignated a 501(c)(3) public charity in 2003, KW Cares raises money through Keller Williams market centers and regional offices in order to provide emergency financial assistance to members of the KW family in need through its grants program, and to support other board-designated charities and causes aligned with the mission and values of Keller Williams Realty and KW Cares.
