Engel & Völkers Continues Franchise Expansion in Florida Panhandle with New Shop in Tallahassee

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (PRWEB)
May 25, 2023

Engel & Völkers Florida today announced its latest franchise expansion in the Florida Panhandle region with the addition of a new shop in Leon County called Engel & Völkers Tallahassee. Existing franchisee Carrie Cason secured the territory as part of her regional development plans in North Florida. A retail location search is underway, with an anticipated grand opening in the second quarter of 2024. In the meantime, Cason has begun talent attraction initiatives to recruit local top-producing agents.

“We are thrilled to bring the Engel & Völkers brand to Tallahassee and provide our signature luxury service to this dynamic city,” said Cason, License Partner of Engel & Völkers Tallahassee. “The success we’ve achieved in Gainesville has shown us that there is a strong demand for high-quality luxury service in North Florida, and we are excited to fill that void in Tallahassee.”

The decision to enter the Tallahassee market stems from the exceptional success and positive reception garnered by Engel & Völkers in Gainesville, led by Cason. Recognizing the potential in Tallahassee’s vibrant market, she seized the opportunity to bring her luxury real estate services to this unique city. With its distinctive blend of college and government cultures, Tallahassee perfectly aligns with Engel & Völkers’ core values of delivering personalized, boutique service while leveraging its global marketing reach.

”When we have a great franchise owner and operator like Carrie we want to support them in growing into other markets,” said Peter Giese, CEO, Engel & Völkers Florida. “Carrie from the onset of joining us has demonstrated a true understanding that luxury is not a price point but a level of service and we are thrilled she is expanding from Gainesville to open up our first ever shop in Tallahassee to deliver a new level of marketing prowess and service to top performing agents and their clients in this market.”

Looking ahead, Engel & Völkers Tallahassee aims to replicate the success achieved in Gainesville. In their first year of operation, Engel & Völkers Gainesville ranked among the “Top 10 Producing Brokerages” in the local MLS, with nine agents in the top 25-percent of the Gainesville-Alachua County Association of REALTORS®. Their goal is to establish a shop location in Tallahassee by 2024, further solidifying their presence in the market.

“There are many home-grown, local brokerages that produce on the level of national brands,” said Cason. “At Engel & Völkers, we combine the benefits of both types of brokerages. We provide a big brand’s access and global marketing reach without compromising the boutique, luxury service provided by a local expert.”

The real estate market in Tallahassee for 2023 is anticipated to be vibrant and active. With a robust local economy driven by the presence of the state government and prestigious universities, the demand for homes remains high. Limited inventory and sustained buyer interest are expected to drive appreciation in home values. Tallahassee’s appealing neighborhoods, excellent school districts, and abundant outdoor recreational opportunities continue to attract both local residents and out-of-state buyers. As Engel & Völkers expands into the market, they are well-positioned to meet the growing demand for luxury properties in this bustling capital city.
