Our Leadership
“Global business has changed since I founded Engel & Völkers over
more than 35 years ago. However, quality products, premium
service, and innovative thinking never seem to go out of fashion.
Using this focused approach, we have steadily gained global market
share, while simultaneously diversifying our product portfolio to best
suit the needs of our clients. It has been a great journey so far, but it
is only just the beginning.“
Christian Völkers, Founder and Co-CEO

Our Market Center Concept
Besides the successful establishment of the Licence Partner system in 1998,
Engel & Völkers introduced the Market Center (MC) concept in the year 2013.
With the MC concept the company is pursuing a strategy aimed at faster
growth in the world’s major cities and a greater gain of market share.
The licence for an MC covers the entire geographical region of a metropolis.
This means that its transaction volume is equivalent to that of between ten and
20 traditional Engel & Völkers shops and offices.
In addition to a central office space for up to 300 sales advisors, the concept
also envisages the opening of several Property Lounges in strategically
important locations throughout the city. These lounges are intended to serve
as initial points of contact for potential clients
The first MC opened in Barcelona in 2013. Further Market Centers have been
established in New York, Bogotá, Vienna, Malta, Madrid, Valencia, Dubai and
Rome
