Keller Williams Realty Greater Cleveland plans to open a downtown Cleveland office next month, staffed by at least 17 agents who want to market and sell property in the city.
Keller Williams agents Mark Lastition, Jake Lohser and Scott Phillips have signed a letter of intent to lease 2,100 square feet in the Cloak Factory building at 635 W. Lakeside Ave. in the Warehouse District.
"We see downtown Cleveland as one of the few areas in the entire region that is constantly growing," said Phillips, who joined Keller Williams in early 2009. "But there aren't a lot of real estate offices in the area. The pool is very small."
Keller Williams Realty International is based in Austin, Texas, and has grown rapidly through franchising, allowing local owners to open real estate offices under the Keller Williams brand. The company is the third-largest real estate franchise operation in the country, but is a relatively small player in Greater Cleveland.
