Engel & Völkers

An active real estate agent is always looking for business. My day begins by listening to real estate motivational tapes. Then prospecting for sellers and buyers, lead follow- up, going appointments with buyers or sellers. A real estate agent does not get paid until the property closes which depends upon a lot of things going right. Client relationship is a very important part of our job, you have to be able to get a sense of your client's personality in order to better serve them. Being able to write a contract based on the client's needs/wants and protection is  very important. An agent facilitates the contract from the time it is an offer to an executed contract to the end which is closing. It is rewarding when you  make it to the closing table and your clients are happy with either selling or buying.

There are many perks to working at Engel & Völkers but one of the best is the weekly coaching sessions. Our broker has been in the biz for 30 years and spends time every week sharing his knowledge with you in very small groups. He loves to help his advisors to be their very best and achieve their individual goals. I don't know if this happens everywhere but one of our brokers most used sayings is "We cheer for and celebrate each others successes!" I have found this to be true. Weekly office meetings are usually followed by announcements of upcoming listings as well as a congratulatory round of applause for recent closings... All in all, a great place to work!

Some of the nicest real estate agents work here and yet it just doesn't seem to work in San Francisco. Inventory is too low and there's no sense of competitiveness. No training is provided for new agents and the culture is too laid back and disorganized. 

Management is probably the worst I've ever encountered in a workplace - staff are not kept in the loop about company changes, interns are taken advantage of and overworked/under compensated and although career advancement is promised, it is never delivered. 

Although the international connections are good, the business model seems to work better in Europe.

Engel & Völkers represents a very different way of doing real estate. They are focused on providing customers with the best experience they can, rather than getting the biggest commission they can. The agents work with each other and the company to ensure success for both the clients and agents. The corporate office provides TONS of resources for agents and staff that allow them to provide information to agents and clients around the world. This is really an excellent brand for international buyers and luxury property shoppers.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Leisa is excellent to work with and very supportive. I recommend anyone wanting to jumpstart their real estate career to come in and talk to Leisa Erickson. They have two locations St Pete Beach and Downtown St Petersburg 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
In Real Estate you manage your own business and your paycheck depends on  the amount of effort you put into it.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very friendly and supportive. The brokerage keeps you updated with any new real estate laws

Engel & Volkers Hoboken/ JC is a great place to work if you want a career in Real Estate that isn't churn and burn like most Brokerages.  The Owner/Broker believes in the brand and her people.  As busy as she is running two offices she always makes time to help her team with any questions or issues.   She is very knowledgeable about the industry and the brand.  Which is a true global brand with access to markets in Europe, South America, and Asia in addition to North America. 

Supportive professional environment where you are fully supported to achieve your goals. Access to up to date training helps you stay ahead of changing markets.

It offers resources for marketing and support that far exceed your average company.

In a small office the team effort is powerful.  Growing and developing as a Real Estate Advisor is important to the manager and Broker, so the open lines of communication create a learning environment.  The energy is inspiring and my colleagues are patient with every level of experience.
