Sajag Patel serves as the chief operating officer of Keller Williams, the world’s largest real estate franchise by agent count. He has served in various leadership capacities during his 12 years at Keller Williams. Most recently, he served as head of coaching, communities and learning and vice president of segments, where he oversaw the growth and ongoing development of KW communities. Over the past year, Patel has been the primary driver of KW’s major expansion of its community-based business alignment and formation efforts to support recognized and emerging real estate market segments. He oversees the growth and ongoing R&D and M&A associated with its established business segments. Currently, KW has 14 business communities. In the second half of 2022, under Patel’s leadership, KW unveiled five more business communities — KW Real Estate Planner; KW Relocation; KW Wealth; Diversity, Equity, Inclusion; and KW Style to Design — in support of recognized and emerging real estate market segments. In 2023, KW announced three additional business communities — KW Operations, KW Wellness, and KW Clarity. Patel has also been responsible for the appointments of the leaders of each new KW community.

What’s the secret to your success?

I surround myself with people who are big thinkers and who challenge me to be better every day. It’s about having a coach in your life — people that believe in you more than you believe in yourself. In doing this, you get to maximize your potential. No one knows their true potential until they push themselves with the help of a coach.
