40 years of Engel & Völkers - this is synonymous with 40 years of real estate expertise, exclusive service and passionate engagement for you! On the occasion of our company anniversary we invite you to become more familiar with the Engel & Völkers brand on our blog. Join us on a journey to our various areas of operation: residential and commercial real estate, yachting, aviation and our polo school. Let’s start with the business segment that put Engel & Völkers on the map: Residential, our segment for exclusive residential real estate.
The success story of Engel & Völkers began four decades ago with the vision to provide clients around the world with top-class real estate expertise and support them in their search for their dream property. This aspiration has remained to this day and is implemented on a daily basis in over 800 shops and by over 10,000 people in the Engel & Völkers network. In addition, we have also been providing professional advice since 2013 in our modern Market Centres with up to 200 estate agents - located centrally in major metros such as Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia or Dubai. This comprehensive network of real estate experts allows us to realise your individual dream of your own home, second home or holiday home - anywhere in the world.
One of the many exclusive advantages for you at Engel & Völkers is that we are represented with many shops all over the globe. Whether you are looking for a dream loft in New York, a beach villa on Majorca or a rustic chalet in St. Moritz - there is no need to travel halfway around the world for first-class advice. Our global network allows us to find you a suitable property. That is why you are also in good hands with us if you are a seller. Not only will we find you potential local buyers, our international network of also reaches prospective buyers from around the world. The marketing tools we use to market your property are equally far-reaching. Apart from proven advertising materials such as print and online exposés, we also present particularly exclusive properties in GG Magazine, our upmarket lifestyle and real estate magazine. Clients wanting a high degree of discretion when buying or selling a property can opt for processing by our Private Office.
But what exactly does our consulting expertise mean for you? It means that you can rely on our estate agents having the highest degree of professional competence and engagement when it comes to successfully buying or selling property on your behalf. This is ensured, among other things, by our Engel & Völkers Academy, which teaches our estate agents the essential skills for this dynamic market.
To make sure that we will also be able to offer you this service in the future, we have set up our own Research Division, which analyses the various property markets around the world and provides relevant and informative insights into the current market situation - presented comprehensively and intelligibly in our market reports. Yet another reason why we are able to reliably, transparently and verifiably determine the value of your property and offer you competent investment advice.Furthermore, our exclusive service covers more than merely residential real estate.
