Engel & Völkers continues franchise expansion in southeast Florida with two new shop locations in Miami-Dade County
MIAMI, Aug. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Engel & Völkers Florida today announced its latest franchise expansion in southeast Florida with the addition of two new shops in Miami-Dade County. Local market expert Daniel Nault acquired the franchises and will convert his previously unaffiliated brokerage, Edgewater One Real Estate, to Engel & Völkers Miami. To start, Nault has retrofitted his existing office located at The Grand Retail Center inside The DoubleTree by Hilton Grand Hotel Biscayne Bay in the iconic style of Engel & Völkers shops. Nault has also secured the Miami Beach territory and plans to open his second location in 2024.
"We are thrilled to join the Engel & Völkers network and expand our business with a global reach that will benefit our clients," said Nault. "The ability to further develop a luxury brand like Engel & Völkers in South Florida, specifically Miami and South Beach, is an exciting opportunity. We believe that the brand's worldwide recognition and trajectory, combined with its diverse and international clientele, make it the perfect fit for our brokerage."
Nault and his Broker Associate, Vanessa Gomez, bring over three decades of combined industry experience to their latest business venture at Engel & Völkers. In addition to owning Edgewater One Real Estate, Nault has worked as Executive Vice President of Sales & Leasing for Heafey Group, one of Canada's largest real estate investment and development firms with a portfolio of assets valued at more than $1-billion; here he was involved in the implementation of strategic real estate acquisition, development, sale, and related activities, both in Quebec and Florida. Gomez will continue to lead and expand the team from Edgewater One Real Estate that has joined them at Engel & Võlkers Miami, as Director of Luxury Sales and New Developments.
"Engel & Völkers excels in the State of Florida and we are thrilled to have Edgewater One Real Estate convert to our global brand," said Peter Giese, CEO of Engel & Völkers Florida. "As we continue to expand our presence in Florida, it was critical to find a partner in Miami that embraced our brand and immediately added credibility to us in the local market; Daniel and his team, with their development history, meet all of those criteria."
Miami is globally recognized as one of the most vibrant and cosmopolitan cities, attracting investors and second homebuyers from around the world. Nault is confident his new franchise partnership with Engel & Völkers will enable his brokerage to tap into key feeder markets such as New York, Chicago, New Jersey, Canada, France, and Colombia. Leveraging Engel & Völkers' extensive presence and recognition worldwide, he aims to expand his reach and attract international buyers seeking investment opportunities in the thriving Miami real estate market.
"Although Edgewater One Real Estate had established a strong local presence, we faced challenges competing with larger brands in terms of recognition and access to additional tools and support," said Gomez. "By joining Engel & Völkers, we gain access to a broader network and support system that will help us overcome these obstacles and provide enhanced services to our clients."
The real estate market in Miami is experiencing continued growth and presents lucrative opportunities. With its global appeal, strong economy, and desirable climate, Miami attracts domestic and international buyers seeking luxury properties. Sought-after neighborhoods like Miami Beach and Brickell remain in high demand while emerging areas like Downtown and Edgewater offer new investment prospects. An unprecedented influx of domestic buyers and corporations looking to establish their home and business base in Miami continue to drive market momentum. Engel & Völkers' expansion in Miami ensures clients receive expert guidance in navigating this thriving real estate market.
