Keller Williams Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – I had no actual interview process, i was just asked if i could sub in one day and answer phones for a couple of hours and then a week later they called me up and offered me a job.
I believe the current employees that reffered me, knowing my work ethic is what got me the sub job and once the MCA saw how capable i was to adapting and being a quick learner he decided i should be a permanent part of the team.

Negotiation Details – I just accepted the job no negotiation, this was my first adult "career" and I honestly didn't know much about negotiation at the time. I wish I had been more firm in asking for a higher pay rate. in general i'm a peacemaker and very succeptable to being a door matt.

Interview Details – Applied online, received a call a couple of days later from the HR director to schedule a phone screen. During the phone screen I learned KW uses a personality typing tool to see if their candidates are a good fit. Was also told the process is long and backwards - you're not asked about your experience until the end. Passed the phone screen, completed the personalty test,

HR called back to explain the results and invite me to an in person meeting in which I'd take a more extensive personality test. I go to the meeting, take the test, and at the end the results are explained again. Then I'm asked, for several pages of personality scale questions...the test shows you're (extent of xyz trait - ex. 8 out of 10 on collaborative), do you agree? Can you give us an example of this in your life?

Next round was an in-person interview with two executives and the HR director sitting in. Standard interview questions, the execs asked to see the results of my personality test. Was told I'd hear back in a week. Two weeks later was told they found someone who was a better cultural fit (a.k.a. better personality test).

Final steps in the process from what I understand would have been a request for 10-15 recommenders and interview with HR to talk about functional experience.

Interview Details – They ask about what you do for fun, what makes you want to go into real estate, why you think KW is right, the normal types of questions you expect. They just want to see you are motivated.

Interview Details – I got in because of my mom being a realtor. But once I read Gary's book I was convinced.

Interview Details – KW loves to promote from within, and the culture is a major factor in selecting leaders. The challenge is that some team leaders have more culture, more experience, and follow the models more closely than the operating principals who do the hiring.

Negotiation Details – They utilize the regional director position as a stop-gap to the local franchise owner paying the Team Leader an appropriate salary and bonus structure. The regional director will not allow one TL to be paid more than the others --the bonus is the tool they use to pay the TL more -- and since this is an open-book company, everyone in the company knows what the TL is paid.

Interview Details – Very focused on interview process. Slow to hire, quick to fire is their motto. Overall a good experience.

Negotiation Details – Quick and salary was as expected.

Interview Details – mostly promote the company give you information but why you would like the company and what the company will do for you what kind of training they offer, what their philosophy is, how the payments work

Negotiation Details – no negotiating

Interview Details – I had entered in an email address and other contact info on a website when I was looking into getting my real estate license and I was contacted the following day. They asked if I would like to come see the office and sit down for an interview and discuss what the business was like. Since I wasn't able to start right now because I don't have my license, the interview may have been a bit easier but they were still very informative and it was an excellent atmosphere. The employees walking through the office all greeted each other and me and there was certainly a sense of community apparent.

I sat down to discuss the offerings of their company and its success for about 30 mins then got a tour of the building which offered all kinds of support. Everyone necessary for a part of the real estate process was located in the building and there was a lot of space available for agents to come and work in the building whether they had their own office or not.

After the tour, we went back to the original office and went over the financials aspects of getting started and the exact steps I should take in getting my license.

Without having the license, there was no formal agreement on employment but I had the distinct impression they would offer any support I needed to help me get started.

Negotiation Details – I was told I could become a part of company once I got my real estate license. No formal employment negotiation took place.

Interview Details – Interview with team leader, and sometimes with the operating partner or business coach.

Negotiation Details – What were you able to negotiate? What advice would you give others considering an offer?
