eller Williams has secured a strategic investment from Stone Point Capital, the private equity firm that also owns CoreLogic. This deal will bring significant growth opportunities for the Austin-based real estate franchise giant. Christopher Czarnecki, former CEO of Broadstone Net Lease, Inc., will take over as CEO, replacing Mark Willis who stepped down in January. Gary Keller, co-founder and executive chairman, will retain partial ownership and stay with the company.

    Keller sees this partnership as a chance to fuel growth and ensure individual agent success. "We've built an incredible foundation," he said. "With Stone Point Capital's backing, we can focus on each agent's personal development and sales growth." Keller is excited about the future, calling it the most prolific phase of his 48-year career in real estate.

    The partnership highlights Stone Point Capital's track record of investing in winning businesses to help them scale. The company will continue to focus on agent marketing, education, coaching, data, and technology. Keller hinted at new opportunities for productive agents and franchisees to share in the business's future success. "We'll explore ways to reward top agents and franchisees who drive growth," he said.

    This investment marks a significant development for Keller Williams, which will be updated as more information becomes available.
