Chad St. Jean and Over 300 KW Southwest Agents join forces to give back to Fort Bend County as they practice the company mantra “Giving where we live.”

Sugar Land, TX – RED Day (Renew, Energize and Donate) is an initiative dedicated to celebrating Keller Williams Realty’s year-round commitment to improving local communities.  Each year, on the second Thursday in May. Tens of thousands of agents from across the United States and Canada participate in a wide range of community projects, devoting time to renewing and energizing aspects of the neighborhoods in which they serve.

KW (Keller Williams) Southwest has selected three of the numerous Fort Bend charities to focus their efforts for the May 12, 2016 Red Day activities. Agents can choose either Fort Bend Animal Services (Fort Bend Animal Services), Parks Youth Ranch (Park Youth Ranch), or the Fort Bend Women’s Center (Fort Bend Women's Center).

KW’s RED Day is held in honor of Mo Anderson, Vice Chairman of the Board, recognizing her leadership in guiding the culture of the company. Her personal integrity and unending drive are touchstones that have made Keller Williams Realty one of the most successful franchises in real estate history.

Under Mo Anderson’s leadership, the Red Day event is an entrenched part of the KW Southwest culture and displays the extraordinary effect a company can have when individuals come together to work as a team for the greater good. Chad St. Jean, Team Leader for KW Southwest said, “RED Day isn’t about just volunteering your time and energy, it’s a day when we demonstrate the Keller Williams culture to Fort Bend County.  It’s our way of giving back to the community where we work and live."

About KW (Keller Williams) Southwest

At KW Southwest, our philosophy is simple, “Give where you live.” At the core of KW Southwest is a conviction that who you do business with matters. We believe that the company we keep can contribute to our lives in untold ways.

We believe that real estate is a local business driven by individual associates and their presence within their communities. KW Southwest associates are the face of Keller Williams Realty, and associates have a strong voice in guiding the business through their local Agent Leadership Council (ALC).

Keller Williams Southwest operates on the premise that if the company focuses all its resources on building its agents’ businesses, the agents in turn will build the company beyond all expectations. With that philosophy, they are reshaping the global industry landscape.

Joe Rothchild, founder of the KW Southwest Cycling Team prepares for 6th year in the BP MS150

Sugar Land, TX – The BP MS 150 is a two-day fundraising bike ride organized by the National MS Society. The ride is the largest event of its kind in North America with 13,000 cyclists, 3,500 volunteers and countless spectators along the route and at the finish line in Austin.

Joe wanted a cycling team to support the National MS Society fundraising efforts and with the help of Norman Lew, Agent Services Director, they got the team “off the ground and running,” now for the 6th year. Each year with Joe’s support a team of volunteers plan and work the details for a flawless and memorable ride for the Cycling Team.

“I just love riding. Finding new routes, new sights to see and new riders to meet and ride with. Getting lost along the way is part of the fun. Cyclist have a common goal—fitness and joy of the wind in our face,” said Norman Lew when asked why they continue to train for endless hours and then ride for two days from Katy to LaGrange and then on to Austin on Day 2.  “Riding in the BP MS150 and fundraising helps the National MS Society continue their research and get closer to a cure. It also helps so many keep in shape.”

Mark Naegli, BP MS150 Executive Director, expressed his appreciation for the dedication and perseverance of the KW Southwest Cycling Team and their 6 year participation. “We recognize the contribution of this great team and understand the commitment it takes to year after year join us for this endeavor.”

Sugar Land, TX: It is February 2016, the month that has Valentine’s Day, the American Heart Association awareness, and Presidents Day among other holidays. People tend to think of love and caring, which are two important pieces of the KW Southwest culture! To honor the company, Keller Williams, the KW Southwest Market Center recognizes two of the hard-working, top-performing husband and wife teams who call KW Southwest family.

The Diaz Team (http://SoldbyDiaz.com ?), Ernest and Valerie, are straight-forward, experienced realtors who love their work and have a ?passion to place a "Texas size" smile on their client's face.  Their motto is "There is no substitute for Experience”.

??

Prior to joining the KW office, Ernest and Valerie attended the annual KW Family Reunion where they realized that any company sharing a wealth ?of information with guests at an annual conference, must provide even more for agents who are already a part of the KW family. 

?Valerie had been in real estate for 10 years prior to joining the KW Southwest team in 2011. She credits Andi St. Jean for working with her patiently until she made the decision to join the company. Ernest, Valerie’s husband and the second member of The Diaz Team?, joined forces with Valerie when they were expecting their second child in 2010.  He joined the KW Southwest team in 2011. Their team has now grown to a 4 members and they continue to provide exceptional service to their clients and attribute their continuing success in the business to partnering with the KW Southwest organization.

The second team selected to represent the “Power Couples” of KW Southwest is the Burgess Team—Mark and Helen Burgess. After working for an advertising agency for 23 years and experiencing the changes of moving to a digital world, Mark wanted to do something that would bring happiness to the client and Helen suggested that helping people find a home, possibly the home of their dreams, might be the perfect career move. Mark joined KW Southwest in 2012 and knew immediately it was the right decision. The brief version, according to Mark, is “A leukemia patient who jumped into the real estate business with both feet and immediately had to have heart surgery. He then recoups and regroups for his second year and mid-season, had lung surgery.” At this point, Helen decided to join him…just in case. Helen joined the Burgess Team in November of 2015. When asked about his story, Mark replied, “My concerns and worries are quelled, knowing that God's got this."

About KW Southwest

Keller Williams is named among the "Best Places to Work" in numerous publications and periodicals across the nation. The KW team atmosphere attracts friendly, highly-effective agents who enjoy the journey as much as the destination. KW shares a special bond with the Real Estate Agents that comes from shared values-commitment to excellence and integrity. Their unique profit-sharing structure encourages team members to root for each other instead of competing.
