Beyond the filing
Everything else on this page is quoted from Keller Williams Realty's franchise disclosure document. This is not — it is measured off the open web, it is not verified by the franchisor, and it never affects the Factbook Score.
Research this brand properly
Every figure on this page comes from Keller Williams Realty's own disclosure filings, source linked. Compare it against its category before any discovery call — and read the FDD with an attorney before signing anything.

They have not cleared our 0.85 QA bar, usually because no primary regulator-hosted filing was reachable and the figures come from a secondary source. Treat them as indicative and check the linked source before relying on them. We publish the score rather than hiding it — see the methodology.
What it really costs
Every cost figure this brand's filing discloses — not just the headline range
| Expense | Low | High |

| Total initial investment | $183,647 | $336,495 |
Item 7 reports a total range, not a full line-item breakdown, in this brand's filing excerpt — the franchise fee is the only cost we can show separately today.
Costs more to open than 90% of real estate franchises on this site with a disclosed Item 7 range (47 compared). Computed from total investment, not a figure from the filing itself.
Earnings disclosure
Does the franchisor share performance data? No
This brand's filing does not include an Item 19 financial performance representation. That's common — a large share of franchisors disclose nothing here — but it means you should ask for unit-level economics directly during discovery calls. Compare against real estate brands that do disclose one.

Common questions
Answered from this brand's own FDD filing. Where the filing is silent, the question is left out rather than answered with a guess.
How much does a Keller Williams Realty franchise cost?
Keller Williams Realty's most recent Franchise Disclosure Document puts the total estimated initial investment at $184K–$336K. That is Item 7, which covers everything needed to open — the franchise fee, build-out, equipment, opening inventory and initial working capital. The initial franchise fee is not a single figure: $10,000 to $18,000 (based on a $2,000-per-Market-Center initial fee, with franchisee required to develop 5 to 9 Market Centers) - Keller Williams uses a regional 'Market Center' development structure rather than a single-unit flat fee
What royalty does Keller Williams Realty charge?
Keller Williams Realty charges a continuing royalty of 6% of gross sales, disclosed in Item 6. Royalties are charged on revenue, not profit, so they are owed whether or not the outlet is profitable.
Does Keller Williams Realty disclose earnings (Item 19)?
No. Keller Williams Realty makes no financial performance representation in its FDD. Item 19 is the only optional item under the FTC Franchise Rule, so omitting it is lawful and common — but it means the franchisor publishes no revenue or profit figures for its outlets, and any figure quoted elsewhere is not from the filing.
