What Sets Us Apart

Reclaimed Luxury

Luxury is more than possessions; it’s the essence of a fulfilled life rooted in home. Engel & Völkers artfully unravels the unique definition of luxury living for each individual. It’s simply the enjoyment of the best in life.

Bespoke Experience

Engel & Völkers promises top-tier service: tailored attention, expert insight, and meticulous care for every detail. It’s the standard of service exhibited by all of our real estate advisors and license partners that sets us apart…and our standards are high.

Global Network

Those who associate with Engel & Völkers proudly represent and leverage our unique, established brand that once attracted them and now reflects and aligns them with global luxury positioning to elevate their business. It’s what unites the diverse makeup of more than 16,000 exceptional real professionals throughout the world.

Even more dynamic is the collaboration, idea-sharing, and referral and networking opportunities that truly connect us to each other and to the growing class of global homebuyers.

Where to start? Look for our signature shops around the globe.

Culture of Leadership

Every individual at Engel & Völkers is driven by an ethos of leadership. It’s why we don’t simply have agents, but rather, trusted advisors to guide clients through their home journey with precise knowledge and distinguished care.

Every individual who is part of Engel & Völkers, at every level, embodies this mindset.

Specialization

Engel & Völkers attracts true real estate experts, who are driven by a passion for service and a dedication to being the very best. This mindset fuels the education, training, tools, and resources we offer our network. We guide our partners to go deep into their business before they go wide—what we consider the best business strategy—allowing us to maintain “quality over quantity” and build a brand and culture unlike any other. It’s about quality. We attract true professionals who fuel their business with a passion to be the BEST in whatever niche or neighborhood they serve.

Collaboration over Competition

Engel & Völkers provides a clear distinction for each of our real estate shops with “areas of protection.” With each franchise awarded, an agreed-upon region that matches a shop’s geographic name means you’ll never worry that another Engel & Völkers franchise location will be awarded in your market—your advisors, clients, and communities also clearly understand your local roots backed by a global network.
