As momentum continues, KW has awarded a new master franchise in Guyana. Led by Regional Operating Principal Stefan John, KW Guyana is currently initializing operations. In Q2 ’22, KW Guyana is expected to open its first market center.

“We are thrilled to announce we’re in business with Stefan, a phenomenal leader who is poised to build and embody our culture in Guyana, our ninth master franchise in South America,” said Soteroff. “Stefan and his core leadership understands our disruptive model and how it allows agents to thrive.”

A seasoned entrepreneur, John founded D&J Group Inc., a company focused on logistics and real estate services catered to the oil and gas industry. With nearly a decade of experience facilitating real estate brokerage services throughout Guyana, John is a well-established business leader in Guyana.

“The real estate market is growing bigger than any other industry besides oil and gas in Guyana,” said John. “KW will be the preferred agency that everyone goes to, mainly because the agents will be trained better than anyone else.”

“The technology is also positioned well ahead of the competitive set, and our marketing will be unmatched because of what KW offers to franchise holders,” said John.
