Mid-November Momentum at KW Landmark: What We’ve Built So Far & What’s Coming Next

launching us into 2026!

We’re halfway through November, and the energy at Keller Williams Realty Landmark is very real! From skill-sharpening classes to culture-building events, the last two weeks have been all about doing the activities that move the needle: lead generation, mastering our tools, serving our clients at a higher level, and attracting talent to our Market Center.


As we roll into the coming week, this is your reminder: How you finish November will set the tone for your 2026!


Takeaways From the First Half of November


1. Skills + Reps = Confidence (Script & Roleplay + Prospecting Hours)


Our daily Script & Roleplay (10:00–11:00 AM) and Prospecting Hours (9:00–11:00 AM) aren’t just calendar items – they’re the foundation of a top-producer business. 


Key lesson for our agents:


  • If it’s on the calendar, it’s a commitment, not a suggestion.
  • The agents who show up consistently for scripts and lead gen are the ones who build predictable listings, pipelines, and paychecks.
  • Every session is another rep that makes real client conversations feel easier and more natural.


If your 2026 goals include more closings and more listings, this is where it starts – in these “boring” but powerful blocks you protect every week.



2. Tech & AI Are Now Basic Tools of the Trade


We’ve leaned into technology and AI in a big way already this month:


  • Video: Command Tips from the Pros
  • Video: Command Automation and Lead Conversion
  • RPR’s Customizable Property Reports (Zoom Webinar)
  • Make More Money by Leveraging AI with Justin Puderbach


These sessions all point to one reality:


> The agents who thrive now are the ones who can combine human connection with smart automation and data. 


From nurturing your database with low-cost 12-month touch plans, to using Command and RPR to walk into every appointment with powerful market data, the theme is clear:


  • Use tech to do more, faster.
  • Use AI to support your follow-up, not replace your relationships.


And when we talk about lead generation, outreach, and follow-up, we are always keeping one thing front and center:


> At KW Landmark, our training is designed to help you grow while staying fully TCPA compliant and respecting the Do Not Call list and all relevant laws and regulations. We want you to build a huge business — the right way.



3. Serve Deeper, Not Just “More” – Expertise-Focused Training


Another big theme from the first half of November has been deepening expertise so our agents can bring more value to every client conversation. Our calendar has included topics like:


  • Probate and Estate Planning with Leslie Sultan – Helping you navigate sensitive life transitions with clarity and professional partners.
  • Buying and Selling at the Same Time with Igor Lipkin – A critical skill set in our move-up and downsizing markets.
  • Video: Manage Multiple Offer Negotiations – Because strategy and communication win for your clients.
  • Video: Build Your Low-Cost 12-Month Touch Program – Staying top of mind without breaking the bank.
  • Video: Host Holiday Events That Clients Actually Attend – Using community events to deepen relationships and generate referrals. 


These aren’t “fluff” classes – they’re the difference between:


Being a real estate agent…

And being the trusted adviser your clients recommend over and over again.


4. Culture, Community & Collaboration Are Our Edge


KW Landmark doesn’t just push hard on training; we build a culture where people actually want to show up:


KW Landmark’s Vendor Day – Bringing in strategic partners to support your business and your clients.

KW Landmark’s Annual Potluck – Breaking bread, building relationships, and strengthening our culture.

KW Landmark I & II’s Basket Brigade – Giving back to the community together and reminding ourselves why we hustle in the first place. 


These aren’t “extra.” They’re part of why we attract driven, collaborative agents who want to grow in an environment that feels like family and performs like a business.

If you’re a homeowner in Queens, Brooklyn, Nassau County, or surrounding NYC areas , you’re probably asking one of two questions: Is now the right time to sell? If I list, will my home actually move? The real answer isn’t emotional. It’s strategic. And 2026 is already giving us clear signals. The Market Is Moving — But Strategy Matters More Than Ever So far this year, our office has: Secured $65.3M in listings taken Written $69.8M in contracts Closed $82.5M in sales Sold 92 units year-to-date That tells us something important: ✔ Homes are being listed ✔ Buyers are writing contracts ✔ Deals are closing But here’s the truth most homeowners don’t hear: The homes that are winning are positioned correctly from day one. Overpricing, weak presentation, or poor negotiation strategy will cost you time and money in today’s environment. What Sellers in Queens Need to Know In neighborhoods across Queens — from Bayside and Flushing to Forest Hills and Whitestone — buyers are educated. They are comparing closed sales. They are analyzing days on market. They know when something is overpriced. If your pricing is even 5% off in today’s market, you lose momentum. And once momentum is gone, you don’t get it back easily. What’s Happening in Brooklyn Right Now Brooklyn sellers are facing a more competitive landscape, especially in: Brownstone markets Condo resales Co-op inventory Buyers are cautious. They negotiate. They expect value. That doesn’t mean homes aren’t selling. It means they’re selling when: The pricing strategy is sharp The marketing is aggressive The negotiation is strong Nassau County & Long Island Sellers: Timing Is Strategic On Long Island, inventory levels and buyer demand are hyper-local. In certain Nassau County pockets, well-priced homes are still moving quickly. But the sellers who assume “it’ll sell because inventory is low” are learning hard lessons. Presentation and negotiation now matter more than ever. Why Office-Level Production Matters to You as a Seller When a Market Center is consistently taking listings, writing contracts, and closing transactions at scale, that translates into: Real-time pricing data Active buyer pipelines Negotiation leverage Deep local market awareness You’re not hiring an agent guessing what the market is doing. You’re hiring someone operating inside it every single week. That difference impacts your final sale price. 3 Powerful Next Steps for Homeowners If you’re even thinking about selling in 2026, do not guess. 🔴 #1 – Get a Strategic Home Value Review Request a detailed, data-backed home value analysis specific to your neighborhood. This is not a Zestimate. This is market positioning. 👉 Request Your Strategic Home Value Review Today 🔴 #2 – Book a Seller Strategy Call Before you list, talk through: Timing Pricing strategy Expected net proceeds Market positioning Even if you’re 3–6 months out, clarity now prevents mistakes later. 👉 We Will Match You With The Perfect Agent For A Strategy Call Final Thought: Don’t Let the Market Decide for You The biggest mistake homeowners are making right now isn’t selling. It’s guessing. The right decision depends on: Your equity position Your timeline Your financial goals Local demand in your exact neighborhood If you’re in Queens, Brooklyn, Nassau County, or surrounding NYC areas, now is the time to get clarity — not headlines. Because in 2026, strategy wins. And sellers who prepare properly are still achieving strong results.  Contact us today!

After a historic 2025—highlighted by $1.2 Billion+ in Contracts Written—we didn’t slow down. We accelerated. As we move through 2026, KW Landmark I & II have already demonstrated that last year wasn’t luck. It was structure. It was leadership. It was culture. And most importantly—it was repeatable. 2026 Year-to-Date Performance Here’s where we stand so far this year: $82.5 Million in Closed Sales Volume 92 Closed Units $65.3 Million in Listings Taken 77 Listings Secured $69.8 Million in Contracts Written 90 Units Under Contract Those numbers represent momentum. And momentum in real estate matters. When listings are taken consistently and contracts are being written at scale, it signals something powerful: the office isn’t reacting to the market — it’s operating confidently within it. What These Numbers Really Mean Volume is not just a vanity metric. It tells a deeper story about systems, skill, and client trust. 1. Listings Are Being Won $65.3M in listings taken year-to-date means our agents are earning the trust of homeowners. In today’s environment, listings are not handed out—they are competed for. Securing them requires pricing precision, presentation strategy, and market knowledge. 2. Contracts Are Converting With $69.8M in contracts written and 90 units under agreement, our agents are not just listing homes—they’re moving them. That reflects negotiation strength and buyer demand alignment. 3. Closings Are Being Delivered $82.5M closed and 92 units sold means transactions are making it to the finish line. In complex NYC and Long Island markets, that’s not automatic. It requires proactive communication, problem-solving, and experience. Why This Matters for Agents At KW Landmark, performance like this confirms what we already know: Our agents are trained for skill, not shortcuts. We prioritize our clients and long-term pipeline building. We operate from systems that create consistency. Collaboration drives production. A strong Market Center creates leverage. It creates referral flow. It creates accountability. It creates opportunity. Agents who plug into an environment producing at this level are not guessing—they are building. And that is exactly what we are committed to at Keller Williams Realty Landmark: becoming the destination for agents who want to grow intelligently and sustainably. What This Translates Into for Clients For home buyers and sellers across Queens, Brooklyn, Long Island, and surrounding NYC areas, these numbers mean something very practical: If You’re Selling: You’re working with agents who know how to win listings and price strategically. Your property is represented by professionals active in the current market—not relying on last year’s playbook. You benefit from collective experience across dozens of active transactions. If You’re Buying: You’re guided by agents who are negotiating contracts weekly. You gain access to professionals deeply connected within the local market. You work with a team that understands inventory shifts and buyer competition in real time. Momentum at the office level creates confidence at the client level. The Bigger Picture 2026 isn’t about chasing last year’s numbers. It’s about proving that KW Landmark’s success is systematic. Predictable. Sustainable. When a Market Center can follow up a billion-dollar year with strong, early momentum, it sends a clear message: This is not a peak. This is a pattern. If you’re an agent looking for a high-performance environment—or a buyer or seller seeking proven guidance—KW Landmark continues to lead with clarity, consistency, and results.
