Burnett Realty, Well-Known Central Iowa Brokerage, merges with Nation’s Second-Largest Franchise, Keller Williams® Realty CLIVE – Burnett Realty, a leading independent central Iowa brokerage since its founding 12 years ago, merged today with Keller Williams® Realty, which is the fastest-growing residential real estate firm in North America and the nation’s secondlargest real estate franchise.

“We give agents the tools and information to get the job done,” Bell said. “That’s why, on average, Keller Williams agents were almost three times more effective than the National Association of Realtors average in sales closed last year. That’s great for agents and, especially, the people they represent.”

The firm, located at 10200 Hickman Court, will operate under the name Keller Williams® Greater Des Moines effective immediately. Doug Burnett, who founded Burnett Realty in March 2000, will remain with Keller Williams as an investor. Kacy Bell, of Tulsa, Okla., will lead the firm as its operating principal.

This is the second market center for Keller Williams® Realty in Iowa, the first of which is located in the Quad Cities. They are excited to enter one of the few major markets without a Keller Williams® Realty. This focus on growth has grown the company 34.8 percent between 2005 and 2010.

“This merger’s synergies will have a positive effect on our agents and for the buyers and sellers we serve in the greater Des Moines area,” Burnett said. “Burnett Realty has always had a solid reputation for high-quality client service and unparalleled ethical standards. The decision to become a Keller Williams® franchise was based on our similar beliefs in cultural and professional standards.”

“Keller Williams is excited about opening a new market center in greater Des Moines,” said Mark Willis, chief executive offer of Keller Williams® Realty International. “Our company has a policy of limiting its market presence by selecting only the premier partners in a given area. These individuals are top producers – or have the potential to be so. By maintaining our standards of excellence, we can provide Keller Williams Realty customers with the best real estate experience possible.”

He added, “A large part of making this decision is that this really was the only way we were going to grow and grow in a way congruent with our values. And, growth is very important to give agents all the tools they need to succeed and to serve our clients.” Bell said Keller Williams® Realty distinguishes itself in education and support of the Realtors® and service to their customers. Aspects of support include a network of nearly 80,000 associates and a unique use of technology that takes advantage of 300 search engines that ensure every potential lead ends up in the hands of the listing agent.

QR Codes are Revolutionizing Real Estate What is a QR code? A QR or Quick Response code, also known as a 2D barcode, gives users information on their smart phone or cell phone in an instant. In the simplest sense, think print-based link to web. If you see these QR codes, you take a photo through an application on your smart phone or cell phone, the program analyzes or scans the barcode, and it asks if you’d like to be redirected to a web address/URL.

Can I use QR codes on my phone? Because this technology is relatively new, there is no standard program or application for you to use. iPhones® and BlackBerrys® accommodate QR scanning applications quite easily and have very inexpensive (or even free) downloads available from their respective application stores. Even some cell phones allow it. Go to this website to see if your smart phone is compatible and to download code reader software to get started with QR Codes. www.mobile-barcodes.com/qr-code-software.

Polk City Nestled in the heart of Iowa’s Lake Countr y, Polk City, Iowa combines the best of small town living, outdoor activities, and big city convenience. “It is important to us to keep the small town feel,” said City Administrator Gary Mahannah. “Through our smart planning and zoning Polk City has great connectivity and we see comprehensive sustainable growth.” Located just 20 minutes north of Iowa’s capitol city Des Moines and 18 miles south of Ames, Polk City offers easy access to a wide range of cultura l, educational, entertainment, and transportation centers. Shopping malls, movies and great restaurants are all close enough for Polk City residents to take advantage of, but far enough away to leave the noise and congestion behind.
