The History and Foundation of Keller Williams Shore Properties
Keller Williams Realty was founded in 1983 in Austin, Texas, by Gary Keller and Joe Williams. What began as a single-office experiment quickly grew into the world’s largest real estate franchise by agent count. Today, Keller Williams operates over 1,000 offices with more than 165,000 agents worldwide. The company’s core philosophy — “For Agents, By Agents” — revolutionized the industry by treating agents as stakeholders rather than employees. This model prioritizes education, technology, and a culture where agents thrive so clients receive exceptional service.
Keller Williams Shore Properties opened its doors in Toms River in September 2015 under the leadership of local visionary Michael Little. A lifelong Toms River resident since 1969, Michael brought decades of real estate experience, including growing Crossroads Realty into the largest independent brokerage in Ocean County. He holds a background in mechanical engineering and architecture and has served on the Toms River Planning Board and as a leader in community initiatives. Robert Cecchini serves as Owner/Operating Principal, bringing a relentless focus on trust, performance, honesty, and luxury/waterfront expertise. Supporting leadership includes Albert Veltri (Team Leader/Broker) and a dedicated operations and technology staff.
Since opening, KW Shore Properties has become a top-performing real estate office in Ocean County and the #1 company in Toms River according to local market data. The brokerage now boasts a robust team of licensed agents operating from the main Toms River hub at 1030 Hooper Avenue and a secondary location in Lavallette.
Culture and What Sets KW Shore Properties Apart
At KW Shore Properties, the values are simple yet powerful: God, Family, then Business. The office fosters a positive, learning-based environment where leadership empowers agents to be their best. Agents receive industry-leading training, technology platforms (including KW’s proprietary tools), and a compensation model that lets them keep more of their earnings while building long-term wealth. This agent-first approach translates directly to superior client experiences — no corporate red tape, just motivated professionals who genuinely care about the Shore communities they call home.
