My name is Keith Kumler. I began my career in 2001 with Nationwide Insurance, working with insurance agents in eight states with Nationwide's Affinity program. I managed and developed marketing and communication strategies including print advertising, e-marketing, event-based marketing, direct mail and promotions/sponsorships for more than 300 Affinity accounts.

In January of 2005, I joined Real Living, one of the nation's fastest-growing real estate firms, as the marketing manager for Real Living Network Service. Today, I serve as the regional director of new market development in Florida and focus on selling franchises and growing the Real Living brand throughout the state.

My seven years of sales, marketing and communications experience have sharpened my ability to work with various types of people and organizations and to successfully identify and qualify real estate brokers that meet Real Living's standards - innovators who embrace technology and focus on growth and productivity within their firm.

I reside in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling, bowling, softball, boating and of course spending time enjoying the South Florida sun!

Brand:  Some real estate franchisors are interested in selling you, but put little or no thought into how to get consumers to buy into you. They don't understand consumer branding. We do.

We've meticulously crafted the Real Living brand to resonate with people, taking cues from some of America's great consumer companies along the way. We've successfully associated the Real Living brand with a new real estate experience, one based on creativity, innovation, service and a more transparent, "real" approach.

Technology: Today, Real Living franchisees and their agents have technology resources that put them miles ahead of their competition and front and center with consumers. Real Living technology goes much deeper than a typical Web site. After all, what good is beauty if there's no brains?

Network:  The Real Living Network encompasses more than 160 offices from coast to coast. Our franchisees are business people who weren't satisfied accepting the real estate status quo of declining profits, unproductive agents, fragmented technologies and tired brands that mean nothing to the 110 million young consumers that will become your customers over the next 10 years. Our franchisees are among the most progressive group of entrepreneurs in real estate.
