Join a Keller Williams Brokerage in Towson
Whether you are newly licensed or producing and ready for better economics, what changes is the structure behind your license. Catalyst Towson is the Towson-area office of KW Catalyst Partners, a Keller Williams network across DC, Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina, with mentorship, training, and local leadership behind every transaction.

Operating Principal
Doug Rubin
Broker of Record
Shaquille McCray
Managing Director
Behind every Towson-area agent is a real office team and a track record you can point to. John Newman is our Operating Principal, Doug Rubin serves as Broker of Record, and Shaquille McCray leads the office as Managing Director, all based out of our Lutherville location. Across the KW Catalyst Partners network, agents closed more than $2.2 billion in volume in 2025 and served 5,492 families. When a compliance question lands at 7pm or a new listing needs a marketing push tomorrow, that is the weight behind you instead of behind a call center. The platform runs behind you; the win stays yours.
For new agents and experienced producers
New to real estate
Most new agents struggle because they are figuring it out alone. Catalyst Towson answers that with a step-by-step blueprint, one-on-one mentorship, and a plan built around a real income target, so you start earning instead of guessing. From your first client conversation through your first closings, you have a local team that picks up the phone when you have a question. This is where a new agent learns the business the right way.
Start Your First Year Right →Already licensed and producing
Most of us built our businesses the hard way, so we do not think you should have to. If you are already writing business, the question is simple: are you keeping enough of what you earn? At Catalyst Towson, profit share makes you a stakeholder in the brokerage, so you earn from the office growing, not just from your own deals. On top of that you keep the majority split until you hit your annual cap, then 100 percent for the rest of the year. Moving your license is straightforward, and our team handles the transition so you keep working while you switch. Bring your book and keep your momentum.
Talk Splits and Transfer →What you build when you make the move
Training and coaching
Weekly live sessions in the Lutherville office, on-demand courses through Keller Williams University, one-on-one mentorship for new agents, and coaching for producers. Specialty courses for every stage of your career.
Technology that is included
Command, the KW app suite, gives you a CRM, marketing platform, and business analytics built for agents. It is included in your cap, so there is no separate CRM subscription or per-seat marketing fee stacked on top.
Splits and cap, stated plainly
Catalyst Towson uses the Keller Williams commission model: you keep the majority split on every transaction until you reach your annual cap, then you earn 100 percent for the rest of the year. You also share in the brokerage's profit as a partner in the business. We will walk you through the exact numbers for your production in a short conversation.
Local support you can reach
Contract review, document compliance, and tech questions handled in-house by leadership and staff at our Lutherville office, not routed to a call center. Real people who know your deals, across the Towson and Baltimore area.

How do the commission splits and the KW cap work?

Do you train and mentor new agents?
Yes. Beyond the blueprint and mentorship, new agents get a productivity track with accountability check-ins, so training turns into listings and closings rather than notes in a binder. You practice scripts, role-play live conversations, and work real lead-generation activities with a coach watching your numbers. Producing agents get ongoing coaching and specialty education.

It is faster than most agents expect. A Maryland MREC license transfer can be done in as little as one business day, and you keep working your pipeline the entire time, so no deals stall. Our team files the paperwork with you and moves your active business, tools, and marketing over, walking you through each step so nothing slips.
