Keller Williams Realty (KW) appointed Olathe, Kansas-based real estate veteran Shanan Steere as director of growth operations.  

Steere is the owner and CEO of the Shanan Steere Group, which is affiliated with KW Overland Park. 

In her new role, Steere will revamp core market-center leadership training, lead agents with KW-affiliated brokerage team leaders (TLs) and operating principals (OPs) and help KW brokerages attract the next generation of TLs. 

“As we continue to invest deeply into providing our KW-affiliated brokerages support for the development of their TLs and OPs, we are excited to welcome Shanan, who will spearhead those efforts,” KW President and CEO Mark Willis said in a release. “An exceptional talent and an amazing contributor, Shanan will ensure our core brokerage leaders remain equipped to fuel further expansion and build on our already strong culture.” 

“I am honored to be home at Keller Williams and a part of a mission-focused team that truly prioritizes agents and their success,” Steere said. “I fell in love with leadership and coaching many years ago, and it’s why I launched my first market center with Keller Williams in 2005.”  

Steere became a real estate agent in 1997. She first joined a KW-affiliated brokerage in 2004 and launched a KW franchise in Shawnee, Kansas, a year later. At KW, Steere has served in various brokerage leadership roles, including TL, OP, KW MAPS Coach and Business Objective: A Life by Design (BOLD) instructor. She’s also a John Maxwell Certified coach and 12 Week Year trainer. 

“Team leaders are the cornerstones of our market centers,” Steere said. “They provide the best opportunity to positively change the lives of agents, succeeding through others and helping them achieve extraordinary results.”
