Keller Williams is expanding into Switzerland and has awarded a new master franchise to be led by regional operating principal Christian Fabre. 

The new franchise, Keller Williams’ 16th in Europe, is initializing operations and is expected to open its first market center there in third quarter 2023.  

“The continued rapid pace of our multinational growth fulfills a dream that started with Gary Keller nearly 40 years ago — for entrepreneurs across the globe to thrive at KW,” said William Soteroff, president of the company’s international division, Keller Williams Worldwide. “We’re excited to announce KW Switzerland, which we expect will prosper under the leadership of Christian Fabre, who has a strong, proven track record of continued growth within our master franchises in France and Monaco,”  

Fabre has 20 years of experience in real estate and will oversee the implementation and expansion of Keller Williams’ systems, models and agent-centric culture at the new franchise, the company said. In France and Monaco, Fabre set up 55 market centers with more than 2,800 agents in five years.  

Keller Williams is currently exploring additional expansion opportunities across Africa, Central and South America, Central and Eastern Europe and Asia.
