“Up & Comers – Top 40 Under 40!” For 2008

Future leaders help transform industry, community.  Every year the Atlanta Business Chronicle (ABC) searches for the most driven, successful and influential professionals under the age of 40—who have also distinguished themselves as rising leaders in the local community. 

We received more than 170 nominations for our up & comers group this year, making it a formidable task to choose the 2008 honorees.

ABC’s editorial committee sifted through the nominations. We looked for two main elements: a proven track record of career success and leadership, as well as a notable dedication to civic and community causes says Misty Williams, ABC Industry Focus editor.

Ranked in the top quartile of the country, Shaun Rawls’ offices closed almost $1.6 billion in sales volume and more than 5,000 units in 2007.  What’s more, the six locations have given back more than $1 million to agents in the company through its profit sharing system.

“We succeed because we demonstrate servant leadership throughout our organization,  Plus, we have a great economic model, great people, great facilities, great support, great education & a great company culture.”  Shaun Rawls

Much of the company’s success can be credited to its leader, who takes time each week for mentoring and one-on-one coaching.  As one of a handful of national trainers for Keller Williams Realty International, Rawls shares his mantra with real estate professionals and Keller Williams leaders worldwide.

Dear Rawl’s Agents, “Thank you so much for your efforts to make Keller Williams the very best company in the real estate industry.  While I was fortunate enough to receive this award, it’s only because I am standing on the shoulders of giants.”  Shaun Rawls
