Engel & Völkers Continues Franchise Expansion in Northeast Florida with Two New Shops

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. (PRWEB)
October 12, 2022

Engel & Völkers Florida today announced its latest franchise expansion in St. Augustine Beach and Palm Coast, marking the brand’s sixth and seventh locations in northeast Florida. Local market expert, Jenn Bryndal will lead the new brokerages as part of her regional expansion; she already owns Engel & Völkers St. Augustine.

“The impetus for opening Engel & Völkers St. Augustine Beach was recruiting Team Carr,” said Bryndal. “Doug and Donia Carr have been a powerhouse husband and wife team for over 25 years. They have been successfully working out of this location with Coldwell Banker since 2007, but wanted to affiliate with a better brand that had more to offer them and their clients. An additional shop, located in the heart of St. Augustine Beach, offers our advisors the opportunity to network amongst local business owners and service the growing number of vacationers to our seaside town.”

Team Carr consists of husband and wife Doug and Donia. Prior to relocating to Florida in 2007, they were the broker/owners of Chalet Realty in Breckenridge, Colorado. Most recently, they were a top-producing team with Coldwell Banker. The duo will primarily work out of Engel & Völkers St. Augustine Beach, located at 11 14th Lane; a grand opening event was held at this shop on September 22, 2022. Engel & Völkers Palm Coast is located at 213 S Second St Unit 6A.

“Palm Coast is an international market with a high volume of overseas travelers,” said Bryndal. “Engel & Völkers unmatched European heritage and global presence is a natural fit. Our expansion into Palm Coast allows agents looking to grow their business and elevate the level of service they provide the opportunity to align themselves with our international network. Our new shop in Palm Coast is centrally located by the Flagler Beach Pier amongst local businesses, restaurants, and hotels.”

Bryndal partnered with Engel & Völkers in 2019 to open her first brokerage with the franchise company, Engel & Völkers St. Augustine. She was previously affiliated with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Realty and Coldwell Banker Premier Properties where she was a top-producing sales associate that consistently ranked among the top 10 agents in St. Johns County. Since joining forces with Engel & Völkers, she has represented several record-breaking listings and sales. A third brokerage location is also in the works. In Bryndal’s first year and a half with Engel & Völkers, she saw a staggering growth of 146% in average sales price and a 171% increase in total sales volume.

“A common theme for Engel & Völkers Florida the past three years has been to take advantage of market conditions for exponential growth,” said Peter Giese, CEO of Engel & Völkers Florida. “We are continuing with this aggressive growth plan, now in a changing market where our competitors, by contrast, are reducing their locations. We are very pleased to support our franchisee, Jenn, in her efforts to expand the brand’s presence in St. Augustine and Palm Coast. She is on track to become the top real estate firm servicing the luxury market in her territory.”

St. Augustine Beach is a small city on Anastasia Island known for its wide, Atlantic Ocean-facing beaches that draw visitors from around the world. The typical value of homes in St. Augustine Beach has risen nearly 37-percent over the past year to $637,594. Incorporated in 1999, Palm Coast is one of Florida’s newest cities. Located between St. Augustine and Daytona Beach, Palm Coast is situated on 70 miles of saltwater and freshwater canals, the Intracoastal Waterway, and is just minutes from pristine Atlantic Ocean beaches.
