Keller Williams Realty International president John Davis presided over KW Urbain’s “Thanks to You Celebration” recently when Quebec’s first Keller Williams brokerage celebrated its milestone of sharing over $100,000 in profit with its brokers.
About 100 brokers and Keller Williams leadership participated in the festivities.
KW Urbain, which was founded by two former real estate board CEOs, Michel Beauséjour and Anne St. Dennis, was launched in downtown Montreal at the end of August 2013. It took three years of planning, while the Austin-based corporate head office familiarized itself with the complexity of the language laws and the Quebec Brokerage Act.
St. Dennis and Beauséjour say that, along with other business partners, they will soon expand to the south shore of Montreal. The new franchise will be called Keller Williams Momentum. Quebec now has four KW franchises with more expansion planned in the coming years.
