Engel & Völkers Americas today announced it has been recognized by Franchise Business Review as a 2025 Top Franchise for Women. Only 100 brands were named to the annual list of award winners.
“We’re incredibly proud of this recognition from Franchise Business Review,” said Stuart Siegel, president and CEO, Engel & Völkers Americas. “This recognition is particularly significant because it stems from the voices and experiences of our female franchisees. Our success is inherently tied to their satisfaction with the brand and their ability to utilize it to cultivate and expand a thriving real estate business.”
Engel & Völkers Americas was among 350 franchise brands, representing nearly 9,000 female franchise owners, that participated in Franchise Business Review’s research on the Top Franchises for Women. Engel & Völkers Americas franchisees were surveyed on 33 benchmark questions about their experience and satisfaction regarding critical areas of their franchise systems, including leadership, training and support, financial opportunity, and work/life balance.
“Franchising is a fantastic option for women seeking business ownership on a full- or part-time basis,” said Michelle Rowan, president and COO of Franchise Business Review. “With so many franchise opportunities to choose from, it’s critical to do in-depth research to understand how satisfied current female franchise owners are with the training and support, work/life balance, financial opportunity, culture, and leadership of any brand they’re considering before making an investment. When you look at the brands on this year’s list of the Top Franchises for Women, 88% of women said they enjoy being part of their franchise organizations and three out of four said they would recommend their franchise to others — powerful feedback for women considering the transition to business ownership.”
