Build Wealth for a Life Worth Living
Profit Share is a program for U.S. and Canadian associates with zero risk and unlimited earning potential that rewards you simply for helping the KW franchise system grow.
Profit Share Explained
Profit share is a cooperative wealth-building tool where Market Center owners invest in the people who helped the office grow. Rather than shaving cash off the top of every deal, owners share profits to create a successful and sustainable business that takes care of its people even after they cease production.
“Profit share is designed to help reward associates who grow our franchise, and to create a path to becoming a true stakeholder in your and Keller Williams success.”
Gary Keller
Co-Founder and Chairman, Keller Williams
Growth Share
In the growth share model, when an agent completes a transaction, they receive a commission that is then split between that agent and their Market Center. Every month, that Market Center sends a portion of their revenue to Keller Williams and the Region. Unlike the profit share model, the associates participating in growth share enjoy a portion of their Region’s bottom line, rather than that of the Market Center.

Understanding the KW Profit Share System
The Keller Williams profit share model is a wealth-building system designed to reward associates for their role in the franchise system’s growth. It begins when associates contribute "Company Dollar" from their closed deals to their local market center. After the market center covers its monthly operating expenses, the remaining profit is split, with a significant portion being distributed back to the associates who recruited productive agents to the franchise.
Company Dollar
When deals close, KW® associates who haven’t yet met their cap pay company dollar to their Market Center.
Profit Sharing
The Market Center uses this money to pay operating expenses. What’s left over is profit and, unlike with other companies, a portion of that profit is shared back with the associates who helped the company grow by bringing on productive agents.
Growth Levels
Currently, the profit share system grows across seven levels. When someone joins a KW® Market Center and names an established associate as the sponsor responsible for introducing them to the Market Center, they’re assigned to that sponsor’s first level.
Wealth Payouts
Each sponsor gets 50% of the profit attributed to the profitable activities conducted by the associates they bring on. While the percentages decrease throughout the seven levels, they never fall below 5%, which is higher than the top tier of other wealth-building systems in the industry.
