TKB & Associates at Keller Williams West ATL

What TKB & Associates at Keller Williams West ATL does

TKB & Associates at Keller Williams West ATL operates The Real Estate Knowledge Base (CheckTheKB.com), a state-approved real estate education platform founded by Tori Easterling and serving individual real estate agents and brokerage partners in Georgia and Florida. The platform delivers pre-license, post-license, and continuing education courses covering Georgia Real Estate Commission (GREC School #8135, 39 active approved courses) and Florida Real Estate Commission (FREC) requirements, including Fair Housing, REALTOR Code of Ethics, and exam preparation content, taught via live Zoom cohorts and self-paced on-demand video. The underlying technology stack is intentionally lightweight: a marketing and discovery website at checkthekb.com paired with a third-party student enrollment and course management portal (ReCampus), HubSpot for contact forms and brokerage partnership scheduling, Zoom for live instruction, and internal AI-assisted content drafting reviewed by human instructors before publication. A physical and digital bookstore of 18 titles supplements the curriculum across print, eBook, audio, and Spanish-language editions.

The business model blends transactional course tuition for individual agents ($35–$299 per course or program), recurring subscription revenue through the three-tier Georgia Brokerage Partner Program ($500/month for Broker-Paid Training, custom pricing for the full Agent Lifecycle Partner), an annual $100 MYKB Partners referral-only license holding subscription with an 80/20 split, and bookstore sales. Distribution runs through the ReCampus self-serve portal, Eventbrite for cohort registration, brokerage partner codes for B2B enrollment, and a content-marketing funnel anchored by the founder's blog, social media presence, and weekly virtual events. The wholly-owned MYKB Partners LLC subsidiary and a Commercial Real Estate Division extending into CCIM/SIOR/ALC/CPM designation pathways round out the current product surface.
