About Engel & Völkers

Overview & Mission

Standards. Raised.


Every individual who is part of Engel & Völkers, at every level and in every location, embodies an ethos of leadership. It's this mindset that upholds the highest standards expected by our clients and our communities. At Engel & Völkers success is achieved and decisions are made with one key factor in mind: our people. We are a force of many, not simply a few.

Our History

How an idea became a global brand.

The Beginning

Dirk C. Engel established Engel & Cie in December 1977. Shortly after, Christian Völkers joined this venture marking the beginning of Engel & Völkers' success story.

Engel & Völkers

Our mission

We link together the aspirations of people around the world. With total passion.

Our Commitment

Equity & Inclusion

At Engel & Völkers, we strive to create a world that promotes acceptance, inclusion, and understanding, as these values are essential to achieve progress and foster unity. We encourage collaboration and respect amongst individuals from different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives and advocate for fair housing for all. We support a world of real estate where every individual’s unique story is celebrated, and every dream has a place to call home.

Our Commitment

Environmental Responsibility

From our investors, leaders and partners to our local shops and advisors, we are committed to making the world around us a better place for today and tomorrow. Globally, Engel & Völkers continuously seeks and adapts environmentally responsible practices to drive future prosperity.

Our Commitment

Giving back

Engel & Völkers is a proud champion of Special Olympics and their mission to use the power of sports to create more inclusive communities and empower people with intellectual disabilities. Special Olympics athletes contribute to our story. From them we learn, we think differently and realize what we can accomplish as individuals, as local brokerages, and together across time zones and borders—it's a common good that unites us. We believe that in order to lead, we must empower others to do the same.
