Keller Williams Realty, LLC (“KW”), the world’s largest real estate franchise by agent count, has been named to Glassdoor’s Best-Led Companies list for 2025, recognizing organizations with exceptional senior leadership teams that go above and beyond to redefine the employee experience.
“This honor is a testament to the leaders and associates who live our culture every day,” said Chris Czarnecki, CEO and president, KW. “At KW, leadership is about empowering entrepreneurs and creating opportunities for people to build businesses worth owning and lives worth living.”
“We’re proud that our associates feel that strong commitment and trust,” said Czarnecki.
Reinforcing that commitment, KW executives are currently on a nationwide roadshow to continue connecting directly with KW-affiliated agents, brokers, and market center leaders. The tour will visit every KW-affiliated region, underscoring KW’s agent-first culture and commitment to local business growth.
Executives on tour now across the KW ecosystem include Czarnecki, Stacie Herron, Chief Operations Officer and Chief Legal Officer; Tim Dieffenbacher, Chief Financial Officer; William E. Soteroff, President of Keller Williams Worldwide; Wendi Harrelson, President of KWRI-Owned Regions; and John Clidy, Vice President of Growth.
This fall, Jason Abrams, Head of Industry and Learning, and Cody Gibson, Vice President of KW MAPS Coaching, are also traveling nationwide, delivering “Call the Play, Win the Day,” high-impact training to equip agents and brokerage leaders with market-shift strategies and actionable tactics to drive business growth.
“At its foundation, leadership is about trust,” said Glassdoor’s Chief Economist, Daniel Zhao. “The companies on this list are showing that when leaders communicate clearly, prioritize people, and stay grounded in the company’s mission, employees notice and stay.”
“We’re proud to recognize these standout companies as examples of what great leadership looks like in today’s world of work,” said Zhao.
