Todd Cordrey has been named team leader of Keller Williams Denver East with its recently opened office in the Stapleton redevelopment area, 3401 Quebec Street, Suite 8000, Denver CO 80207.

Cordrey says he is excited for the paradigm shift this opportunity provides him, specifically moving to the recruitment and retention side of the business. He chose Keller Williams because of the culture it offers and because the five core principles upon which he built his own real estate company over the past 12 years line up perfectly with the Keller Williams culture and values-those of spiritual, family, personal, business and financial, in that order of importance.

Cordrey attributes his success to his focus on transparency and honesty. Customer service is also foundational to Cordrey as is offering expert advice and preparing clients for each step in an often stressful process. Another key element of his tremendous success is the systems he has put in place. The systems allow him to maximize his efforts and insure that nothing falls through the cracks. He is eager to share them with the Keller Williams agents he now leads.

"I am particularly excited about the growth potential at the Stapleton location, which is seeing the biggest growth in the metro area," said Cordrey. "I'm equally excited about the growth and changes that this new location offers our top producers as well as new agents through the real estate school that will be offered on site."

Cordrey has been the recipient of numerous awards including being named the 2004 RealtorÒ of the Year by the North Metro Denver RealtorÒ Association as well as being honored as the 2002 Outstanding Citizen of the Year by the Brighton Chamber of Commerce. He sits on the Board of Directors for Almost Home, a non-profit organization that helps families and individuals with housing and transitional needs.

Continuing education and training are vital in Cordrey's view. He has earned his GRI, ABR, CRS, CRB, SRES and MRE designations from state and national boards.

With more than 72,000 agents and 591 franchised Market Centers in 45 states and provinces, Keller Williams Realty International is now America's fourth-largest and fastest-growing residential real estate company. Keller Williams Realty franchised the Colorado Region in 1993 and has succeeded by creating a unique agent-focused model that builds partnerships between agents and local ownership through participation in a life-long, profit sharing program. In 2005, Keller Williams Realty International shared more than $48.5 million in profits with its agents-a 70 percent increase over 2004.

In Colorado, the company has 24 locations and more than 3,300 agents. In 2005, Keller Williams agents achieved a sales volume of more than $3.6 billion. For more information, contact Team Leader Todd Cordrey at 303-418-7205 or visit www.gokellerwilliams.com.
