What it does:
Franchisor of residential real estate brokerages in more than 690 markets across North America.

Why it's growing:
"The public does business with the agent, not the company," says CEO Mark Willis. To that end, considerable resources are devoted to educate and train associates to be good business owners, not just sales people.

What's noteworthy:
After Hurricane Katrina, Keller Williams raised $5.3 million to provide long-term support for KW agents and their families affected by the storm, and each office in that region was adopted by another KW office.
