Founder and visionary

Christian Völkers is the founder of the Engel & Völkers Group. In 1977, he founded the business with his friend and business partner, Dirk Engel, and turned Engel & Völkers into a global brand in the premium sector. Christian Völkers put together the Engel & Völkers bible that became the foundation of the worldwide successful franchise system and the in-house real estate academy.

For over 45 years, it has been my top priority to strengthen Engel & Völkers on an international scale and to drive innovation in real estate services. We refine the position of Engel & Völkers as an industry pioneer in the luxury segment, and have established our company to be the leading platform for real estate agents.
