As many of you know, the Ben Kinney Team - San Antonio with Keller Williams Heritage is powered by an industry leading technology and business services platform called PLACE.
I am so excited to announce that PLACE has raised $100 million from Goldman Sachs at a $1 BILLION valuation! While the numbers are impressive, more important is the significant impact that this funding will have on my team and our clients!
The newly raised capital will be spent to deepen the technology and services that we provide to our agents so they can continue to deliver exceptional service. For instance:
•Enhance our end to end technology platform that we use daily so that we can spend more time helping buyers buy and sellers sell
•Help us continue to simplify the homeownership process through a combination of technology and new home services
•Provide our amazing agents with best of industry benefits like health insurance, revenue share, and access to company stock plans
I am so proud of my Ben Kinney Team that is powered by the PLACE Platform!
Here are a few of the most common questions I have gotten so far:
•Is PLACE a brokerage? No – PLACE is a technology and business services platform that supports agents from any brokerage.
•What does this mean to home sellers and buyers? This means that we will have even more tools and resources to help clients with one of the most important financial decisions in their life.
•Does this announcement help my agents and me personally? Yes! All of us now have access to robust health insurance plans and the opportunity to be stockholders in PLACE.
•I haven’t heard about PLACE, and I am an agent. Is this something I should look into? Yes, PLACE is available to all agents from all brokerages in the US and Canada.
•I like what y’all are doing at PLACE, who should I reach out to? Every great relationship is built on conversation and curiosity - both professionally and personally, right? DM me!
