By making the shift to San Antonio for Mega Agent Camp 2025, KW is breathing fresh energy into its flagship training event. Here’s everything you need to know to make the most of Mega Agent Camp this summer.

Mega Agent Camp: Where Real Estate Mastery Takes Center Stage

If you’ve ever wondered what happens when thousands of ambitious real estate professionals gather in one place to share their best strategies, systems, and stories, Keller Williams’ Mega Agent Camp (MAC) is your answer. MAC has long been the industry’s leading agent education and training event, where top producers openly share the playbooks behind their success.

Happening Aug. 11-14 at the Henry B. González Convention Center in downtown San Antonio, MAC25 attendees will discover exactly which systems are creating consistent results in today’s market. Unlike typical real estate conferences where speakers deliver rehearsed presentations, MAC centers on authentic mainstage conversations with more than 100 top-producing agents. These aren’t theoretical discussions — they’re detailed breakdowns of what’s working right now in real estate markets across North America. Gary Keller leads panel discussions on leads, listings, leverage, wealth, and health, alongside Jay Papasan, Jason Abrams, and other KW greats, so you’ll leave with insights and action steps designed to make a huge impact in your business.

Why San Antonio? A Fresh Setting for Fresh Ideas

After years in Austin, MAC is embarking on an exciting new chapter in San Antonio — a city that offers a perfect blend of accessibility, culture, and amenities. The newly renovated convention center, located in the heart of downtown, sits just steps from the legendary River Walk. That puts MAC attendees in the heart of San Antonio’s most vibrant district.

“San Antonio offers the perfect balance of professional atmosphere and cultural energy,” says Scott Malouff, team leader at Keller Williams® Realty Heritage and a longtime advocate for his city. “The River Walk creates natural opportunities for meaningful connection — something we all know drives our business forward. You can have a productive mastermind session overlooking the water, then immediately transition to experiencing authentic local culture.”

Looking to grow your influence this year? Whether you’re just starting out or need strategies to tap into your sphere’s full potential, here are four best practices for staying connected to your current followers while bringing more under your umbrella.

What Is a Sphere of Influence in Real Estate and Why It Matters 

Clients put a lot of trust in their real estate agents. Between gathering potential properties, placing bids, setting listing prices, and navigating every step of the buying and selling process, agents carry a ton of influence. That’s why you want to present yourself as an expert in everything from real estate transactions to neighborhood knowledge. The best way to cultivate that image is by establishing a consistent and reliable social media presence.

Building and Expanding Your Sphere: 4 Steps to Mastery 

Step 1: Commit to Your Community and Build Relationships

Aside from investing money into your community, investments of time and effort also go the distance when it comes to bringing people into your sphere. Some agents even map out a yearlong marketing campaign, broken down by quarter, based on opportunities for community events their teams can host and participate in.

Gestures as simple as a tagged business spotlight on Instagram or Facebook could go a long way toward establishing yourself as a valued member of the community. Partnering with other local businesses to host an event is also a great way to build recognition and rapport with your friends and neighbors.

Step 2: Provide Value Through Service and Expertise

Sharing resources you already have on hand is a great way to boost your standing with your sphere. For example, if you have professional camera equipment or a great partnership with a photographer, you can find a scenic area in your community and host a free family photo day!

Social media is one of the most powerful tools in a real estate agent's toolkit—when used intentionally. It's not just about being online; it's about showing up with purpose, consistency, and value. Here's how to make it work for your business: 1. Choose the Right Platforms Instagram: Great for photo and video content—ideal for showcasing listings ...

Follow These Steps to Prepare for KW’s Annual Day of Service Each May

Every year, KW® associates across the country and around the world take part in our annual day of service. Launched in 2009 in celebration of the birthday of KW legend Mo Anderson, the second Thursday in May is set aside as a time to step away from work and step into our communities to renew, energize, and donate.

While activities typically span a single day, your involvement can make an impact that lasts far longer. So whether you decide to raise funds for a worthy cause or you and your teams choose to lend a hand at a local organization, the following steps will help guide you in spreading KW’s culture of giving wherever you work and live.

Gather Your Ideas

Pre-planning  provides an opportunity to learn which organizations are near and dear to those around you. Kick off your RED Day by asking what’s important to your fellow associates — or share your own favorite causes with your market center leaders.

Host a Brainstorming Session: Organize virtual or in-person meetings where everyone can pitch service ideas, or conduct a short online survey to ask for input. KW® associates across the globe have organized charity runs, food drives, park clean-ups, animal shelter visits, school renovations, blood drives, and more.Research Local Needs: Need more ideas to bring to the table? Check community boards, social media, and nonprofit directories to find high-impact opportunities.Vote on Top Choices: Conduct a Google or Slack poll to let stakeholders vote on the organizations they’d most like to support. Announce the winning cause along with next steps for getting involved.

Plan Ahead

If your chosen activity involves being onsite at an organization, you’ll want to have the details nailed down in advance. Food banks, shelters, and other nonprofit campuses may have practices that help protect the folks they serve, such as limited hours or guidelines for visitors. Be sure to reach out to your selected organization to tell them all about RED Day, discover their specific needs, and understand logistical considerations for onsite activities.

Set a Goal: Define a clear, achievable goal that meets a need and that participants will feel proud to have contributed to.Set a Date: If you can’t take part on the second Thursday in May, choose a date that works well for all involved, ideally when the most number of people can participate.Define Volunteer Roles: Streamline operations by assigning clear responsibilities — such as site coordinators, project leaders, and communication liaisons.Establish a Budget: Secure funding for materials, transportation, or meals and snacks, along with promotional items.Offer Flexible Participation: If possible, look for ways to provide options for both in-person and remote service. Communications coordination, press management, and similar tasks are necessary functions that can be done from afar.Find Vendor Partners: Consider if there are any area vendors that could add even more impact to your event, while bringing visibility to their business or brand.Order RED Day Swag: Deck out your team in RED Day gear to build team cohesion and increase your visibility in the community.

Consider Logistics

Even a seemingly simple group activity can require a lot of behind-the-scenes coordination. Taking care of details in advance helps ensure you and your people can make the most of your time together — and have fun in the process!
