The business of Keller Williams Bristol has failed after less than two years of trading.
A notice in the London Gazette shows that KW Optimum Ltd, which traded under the name of Keller Williams Bristol, with an address in Almondsbury, is seeking a decision from creditors on the nomination of a Liquidator and that a resolution to wind up the company is to be considered at a virtual meeting on April 14th.
Natalie Hughes, of Simply Corporate Limited, is acting as nominated liquidator.
Companies House shows that KW Optimum Ltd was incorporated less than two years ago, in September 2020. It has not yet filed any accounts but in August 2021 there is the registration of a charge in favour of Nucleus Property Finance Limited.
The sole director of KW Optimum Ltd is Martin Roger Bowley.
His LinkedIn profile shows him as starting out with Taylors in 1989 before nine years at the Halifax, then ten years of being a franchise owner at Reeds Rains before becoming operating principal of the Bristol business in 2020.
The KW operation in Bristol acted as a ‘centre’ for seven other individual agents who will now be serviced by a new KW centre in Exeter and the existing centre in Oxford.
A search for Bristol properties on the Keller Williams website shows a total of 8 for rent and 4 for sale.
Ben Taylor, CEO of Keller Williams UK confirmed to EYE yesterday afternoon that the Bristol centre has closed.
This won’t be the only one from what I’ve heard!

There are only so many doors that an agent can knock, uninvited, or calls they are encouraged to make, before they are labelled a nuisance. Shame for those Bristol agents that when a good person meets a bad system, the system always wins.

[Sentence removed as it breached posting rules] When a brokerage puts profit before people its heading only one way.
[Sentence removed as it breached posting rules] Questions have to be asked who is leading this car crash and why it is failing because in other countries I gather the brand is prospering.

Some businesses close, and some businesses open. KW have recently announced they have opened in Exeter. That must have been missed by the author.
Given where Remax were and now seem to be growing again I doubt we’re going to see a mass exodus of self employed agents.

Remind me, has Quirk got something to do with Keller Williams?

How could *ANY* EA business have lost money over the last year? I guess we’ll just put this down to… not enough training?

Are we ever going to see this self employed /on line model succeed in the short term -any examples out there where a company of size actually made this spin ? What’s the latest on Strike-making money yet ?
