About The Brand

"Quality product offerings, premium service, and innovative thinking never seem to go out of style."

- Christian Völkers, Founder and Chairman, The Engel & Völkers Group

Engel & Völkers was started in Hamburg, Germany in 1977 by two friends, Dirk Engel and Christian Völkers, who shared passion to deliver the most unforgettable, professional service experience to real estate clients around the globe. Our story is one steeped in iconic heritage that drives our resolve to change the way consumers experience the properties, neighbourhoods and the overall process of buying and selling a home. Through unrivalled brand consistency and sophisticated systems, we have done what no other European luxury real estate company has been able to do—successfully establish itself in the Americas. 

Half a century later, with more than 1,000 Shop locations and 16,000 Real Estate Advisors across 35 countries, what the world knows as the iconic Engel & Völkers brand is evermore inspired by this humble beginning, paying homage to our European heritage, unwavering commitment to excellence and relentless drive to innovate the real estate industry. We are here not only to buy and sell homes but to help our clients discover the fullness of life found in their next move—whether it is a first home, dream home or even a castle (we can help with those too). From Miami to Majorca, Boston to Belize and everywhere in between, our people possess a shared passion for all that we do.
