Keller Williams Realty CEO Mark Willis to Present at Charfen Institute’s Real Estate Breakthrough Conference

CEO of the third largest real estate company in the United States to address top-producing agents at 1st annual industry event.

Austin, TX (PRWEB) May 01, 2012 - Alex Charfen, CEO of the Charfen Institute, announced today that the company’s lineup of speakers for its July 15-18, 2012, Breakthrough Conference in Las Vegas will include Mark Willis, chief executive officer of Keller Williams Realty, Inc.

In its inaugural year, Charfen Institute’s Breakthrough Conference presents an unprecedented networking and production-boosting opportunity for real estate agents. For the first time ever, it will bring together STAR POWER® Stars, Certified Distressed Property Experts® (CDPE), Certified Investor Agent Specialists® (CIAS), and other real estate professionals, all of whom are among the top-producing agents in the industry and on the front lines of the housing market recovery.

“As leader of one of the fastest-growing real estate franchises in the country, Mark has helped Keller Williams defy the odds during one of the most turbulent times in real estate industry history,” said Charfen. “We’re excited that he’s agreed to share his vision for the future with Breakthrough Conference attendees.”

Willis stepped up to the role of CEO in 2005, having served as president for the previous three years. His tenure at the top ranks of Keller Williams Realty has coincided with one of the most tumultuous markets in the history of real estate — during which time he consistently urged market center leadership to seize the downturn as an opportunity for growth. As a result, Keller Williams Realty now ranks as the third largest real estate company in the United States.

“Charfen Institute has done a tremendous job of helping agents stay relevant in today’s market through their development of both the Certified Distressed Property Expert and Certified Investor Agent Specialist designations,” said Willis. “I look forward to addressing their membership and examining our role as real estate professionals in helping to improve the housing market, and in turn the overall U.S. economy.”
