Customization and Branding Opportunities
While the new KW websites come with the standard Keller Williams branding, agents have the option to add their personal touch. The websites include options to prominently feature social media links, allowing agents to connect with potential clients on other platforms. Additionally, approved vendors like BrandCo can work directly with the site's core to further customize the websites, ensuring a fully branded look and feel.
Smooth Transition and Continued Support
Keller Williams understands the importance of a seamless transition for their agents. If you currently have an eAgentC website, rest assured that it will be phased out and replaced by the new KW website powered by Placester.
