Gary Keller

As co-founder, chairman and CEO of Keller Williams, Gary Keller helps set strategic direction for the company. He is focused on expanding market share and helping agents boost their production to fund their lives and create opportunities through technology.

Gary graduated from Baylor University in 1979 with a degree in marketing and real estate. He helped five families buy a home his first month in the business, and by age 26 was the vice president of expansion for Austin's then-largest real estate company. He resigned from the position, and three and a half years later, his new firm was the largest in town – a position it retains to this day. Gary soon took his company and his philosophy of "people helping people" nationally, then internationally.
