From a recent Daily Progress article (Jan 4, 2010):

Keller Williams Realty, with an office in Charlottesville, was ranked the #1 real estate franchise on the 31st annual Franchise 500 List by Entreprenuer Magazine.  The ranking is largely determined by financial strength and stability, as well as growth rate and size. The company was also voted the Most Recognizable Brand of Real Estate Franchises for 2009 in an industry-wide survey for the Swanepoel TRENDS Report.

Keller Williams Inc. is the 3rd largest real estate franchise in the United States.
