My Big Announcement

Walking the Walk..

When I was deciding which real estate company to join six years ago, one of the aspects of Keller Williams that appealed to me was that Keller Williams is not shy about sharing its value system of God, Family, and then Business. Time and time again, I have been humbled by the agents in our company and their commitment to the most important things in life – their faith and their family.

Recently, I have been giving a lot of thought to what is most important to me. I have always struggled with what Gary Keller calls the “Big Why”. What really motivates me? I came to realize that the most important thing to me is that my family is happy. I know that isn’t very profound or complex and I know that there will probably never be a KW Connect video on my “Big Why”. But that is truly what it is most important. The word “happy” seems to sum up so many aspects of life. It means that we are free from financial stress, we are healthy, my children are given what they need to be successful and happy in life, and that we spend quality time together – a life with no regrets.

These last two years I have poured my heart and soul into helping the agents at KW Atlanta Perimeter have a great real estate career and business. It has been so rewarding for me to help others achieve their goals and to watch the energy and talents of our agents go to a higher level. But there is no denying that it is a “big” job. And unfortunately, my commitment to my career was starting to put a lot of strain on my family as they tried to graciously support me.

As a Team Leader we are expected to be good role models. I realized that as a role model, I needed to “walk the walk” and live by the KW Value system of God, Family, then Business. I have, therefore, made the decision to step down as Team Leader so that I can focus on my family. I have two middle-school aged children and although they would never admit it – they need their Mom a bit more that I have been able to give to them lately. (Check out the attached "Big Why" video that I made to remind me every day of what it is all about - BE SURE TO TURN THE MUSIC OFF ON THE PLAYLIST TO THE RIGHT)



As I mentioned in the team meeting this morning, Mo Anderson says that “When your vision is clear, decisions are easy”. My vision is now clear - but this was definitely not an easy decision. But I know in my heart that it is the right one.

I want you to know that I have no regrets with my decision to come to KW Dunwoody as a Team Leader. It has been a tremendous honor to work alongside each and every one of you. I have made some lasting friendships and no one can ever take away from me the joy that this position has brought into my life. I am truly blessed.

I want to thank everyone for the amazing support and encouragement that I received today. This office and this Company is a special place. I am honored to be a Keller Williams agent.

With love,

Connie Carlson
