Joe is the Cofounder of Keller Williams Realty International, the world’s largest privately owned real estate franchise now operating with over 190,000+ residential agents and 2,400 commercial associates in over 54+ countries.

Keller Williams is the top volume and transaction producer in the USA and their reputation as a top training organization and profitable franchise operator is highly respected. Considered by their competitors as the “Southwest Airlines” of the RE industry, their disruptive business model has been chronicled twice by the Stanford Business School.

Additionally, Joe has founded two award-winning tech companies related to the real estate industry.

 There is not much in terms of market cycles and external forces Joe hasn’t seen before and he shares that regularly with the outside world. Joe still maintains an active brokerage team to keep his finger on the pulse of the real estate market as well as quite an active contributor in the KW Commercial division.

 His development efforts of the past 15 years have spanned TX, FL and NC. Most recently, his focus has been on building a $150M Land Bank fund to take advantage of the land sourcing opportunities his vast Keller Williams agents see in the top ten markets in the USA.  

 Joe, along with his wife Janine, live in Austin, Texas where they thoroughly enjoy their four grandchildren alongside his two adult children.  His passion outside the industry is sailing, wing shooting and racquetball in that order.
