I was going to say it, do it, shout it, spell it, blog it, e-mail it, snail mail it a hundred different ways. In reality...there was sooo much to do an sooo little time to do it...getting everything in place and finding the absolute "right time" to make the switch...there just wasn't one "right time." Sometimes you have just have to jump in with both feet and move as fast as you can....and that is what we did.
Last night David met with our now former manager...turned in keys....thanked him for the past years we had been agents.....and it was a very professional end to one chapter in our career and an "off and running" start to another. We presented an organized list of listings with MLS numbers, addresses, contacts, status and buyers names, mls numbers, status and contact information.
In the spirit of "hitting the ground running" I have to lace up my track shoes....KW is new to this part of the state...and we are ohhhh soooo happy to discuss our new brokerage with you...the lemonade is chilled...the bar stool at our rec room bar reserved, the place at the kitchen or dining room table reserved....the great room love seat has the pillows plumped....sit down....relax....enjoy. You may not know much about Keller Williams if you are in southeastern Wisconsin...there is no brick and mortar just yet...it's a pioneering effort...and we welcome th opportunity to share our enthusiasm and excitement. Every broker is not for every agent...it's like a pair of shoes...track shoes....in this case...we believe it is the best way for us to literally...RUN our business....We look forward to learning, growing and embracing the Keller Williams family as they have us making this transition a comfortable one....Give us a call....if we are out of breath....it's the track shoe thing....we believe this is the best move to answer the call of the future for our clients, our customers and our career.

It's nice to make a change, isn't it? New opportunities, new adventures, and I hear Keller Williams offers a lot for its agents. Congratulations, Sally and David. I tip my champagne glass to you.
Good for you and good luck. We broke off and did our own thing and it is truly rewarding, along with a bunch of other adjectives, but worth it.
Welcome aboard Sally and David! You are a dynamite team and a blast (no pun intended) to work with.

Hello - and welcome to the Keller Williams Metro Milwaukee group! We haven't met yet, but soon you'll get to meet our team (The Mullikin Family) as well as the other Keller Williams agents in Milwaukee - Nita Deputy-Zwart and Christine Basta. Growing the Keller Williams brand in Metro Milwaukee has been our endeavor for the past 15 months or so, and even though we've had lots of signs in the ground, it will be a great boost to have two more agents spreading the good word! I look forward to some co-op advertising efforts too. Perhaps you'd like to join our Facebook group, Keller Williams Realty Milwaukee WI! We love the Keller Williams culture of helping and sharing, but we like having our fun too! We should get together soon!
You bet Pat and Ben....we have hit the ground running...we will get together soon !
Tom....the culture of KW is unlike any other and the attitude and help and technology is nothing short of outstanding....they have us...and we have them covered !
Sally, red with a purple back ground? Gee you might have to think that over... maybe lighten the shade of purple to show off the red a bit... good luck.
KW does red and black...but you should see a table with purple dishes and red cloth...purple and red napkins...etc....mmmm...lucious !
Sally & David - Congratulations on the move to Keller Williams. Although they are new to your area, I am sure they are still a known brand. Plus, seeing that you two are not new to the business, I am sure you will get the word out. Best of luck!
Thank you John...we are soooo excited and know that we can be instrumental in growing a really great office in the greater Milwaukee area ! We are sending you healing thoughts and know you will be better very soon !
Congratulations! I've always found that the best time to do something is, uh, RIGHT NOW!
Congratulations, Sally & David - It's a big move, and I wish you the best success!
Thank you Russell...we are in it and on it .....!
Hey Wendy...thank you sooo much ...we are sooo happy !
Hi Sally and David, Jennifer and I just made the switch to Keller Williams about 1 1/2 weeks ago. Now that the dust is settling after the world wind of events that are associated with switching companies we are happy we are here.
Hope to see you at a company event !
Hello Sally and David:
I recently went through a comapny change and am as excited as you both are. I am a seasoned loan originator that recently opened a Cherry Creek Mortgage branch here in Wauwatosa. I am very anxious to get the word out about my GREAT COMPANY & MY GREAT TEAM of professionals that help me take care of clients.
It was tough getting this business up and running but we are 75 + days old and things are going great. FHA including 203b and 203k loans are our specialty. I have over 12 years of experience with the FHA product family.
Let me know how I may help. Problem solving is my strongest skill...let me solve a problem for you.
