Mark Willis

In November of 2023, Mark Willis returned to a role he had previously held: CEO of Keller Williams Realty. As CEO, the brand intends to leverage Willis’ vast knowledge and expertise to continue to help its agents and market center owners grow their businesses.

“I’m excited to remain partnered with our KW agents, leaders, owners and Gary Keller, a once-in-a-generation business leader,” said Willis upon his appointment. “Only together can we drive our vision to be the real estate company of choice for agents and customers.”

Willis—a former KW CEO, a current franchisee, and a long-standing member of the KW ecosystem—initially rejoined the executive team as a strategic consultant in July 2023.

“Keller Williams has the best success models for agents and brokerages to thrive no matter the economic, industry or business challenges,” he said. “We face headwinds and change, and that’s nothing new. As an innovative force since 1983, we remain optimistically forward-thinking and focused on serving our agents and brokerage partners as they provide powerful customer and business experiences.”
