ENGEL & VOLKERS Enters US Real Estate Market
International Real Estate Business Poised for Success
December 29, 2007
Hamburg/New York. The Engel & Völkers Group is one of the world’s most respected names in the high-end real estate sales market. Based in Hamburg, Germany, Engel & Völkers has recently expanded its global reach to the United States.
With plans to open residential sales shops across the country, Engel & Völkers has already opened locations in Florida, Southampton, NY and most recently, Greenwich, CT. With the US headquarters based in Manhattan, 30 more shops are on track to be opened in prime locations on the East Coast by the end of 2008. Engel & Völkers stresses that prime location, service, and strict corporate identity standards are the key to their world wide success. It’s quality, not quantity!
What makes Engel & Völkers a compelling new franchise opportunity in the States is their global network, portfolio of exclusive properties and reputation for getting top dollar for the seller: In the past year alone, franchisees within the Engel & Völkers network have sold real estate amounting in value to more than $5 billion US.
There are billions of dollars of high-end real estate for sale here in the US. Currently the dollar is at historic lows against the Euro and other currencies, luring overseas buyers from Europe, Asia and elsewhere to step up their purchases in the US, buying apartments in New York City and vacation homes in places like Florida and The Hamptons for leisure as well as investment opportunities.
With more than 300 offices worldwide in 25 countries on five continents, Engel & Völkers is entering the US market with a portfolio of wealthy foreign buyers eager to purchase homes in America’s most important cities and resort areas, bringing a distinct advantage to this marketplace. Engel & Völkers is uniquely poised to take advantage of the confluence of market trends in order to get domestic sellers their full asking price. As a result, the company is getting the exclusive listings of the top properties in each new market it enters, in spite of the fact that Engel & Völkers is hardly a household name here.
Additionally, because so many wealthy Americans are also interested in acquiring property overseas, be they magnificent villas in Tuscany, ski chalets in St. Moritz, seaside residences in St. Tropez or penthouses in Dubai, Engel & Völkers is able to offer Americans exclusive properties from the finest locations around the world, in addition to the very best local properties offered for sale.
This worldwide estate-selling network opens the US up to a truly global market, unlike any other existing US agency. Not surprisingly, demand for an Engel & Völkers license partnership in the US is becoming the buzz of the industry.
