Engel & Völkers expands luxury real estate services to New Smyrna Beach with franchisee Steve Fusilier
NAPLES, Fla. , Oct. 10, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Engel & Völkers Florida today announced its latest expansion in east central Florida with the addition of a new shop in Volusia County, called Engel & Völkers New Smyrna Beach. The franchise was acquired by esteemed entrepreneur Steve Fusilier. The brokerage has opened in a temporary office located at 400 Canal Street, while the permanent retail shop is built out at 113 Canal Street; a grand opening event will be held once construction is completed. In the meantime, Fusilier's team has initiated talent attraction efforts to recruit local top-producing agents.
"We are thrilled to join the Engel & Völkers network," said Fusilier. "Affiliating with Engel & Völkers empowers us to achieve our goals by leveraging their world-renowned luxury brand, global network of advisors, and cutting-edge technology. Through Engel & Völkers, we gain access to a diverse pool of affluent buyers and sellers worldwide. Their advanced marketing strategies enable us to effectively promote listings across various platforms, while their collaborative culture allows us to tap into the expertise of advisors globally. This partnership allows us to elevate our service to new heights and better serve our discerning clientele. With Engel & Völkers' abundant resources, training, and support, we are well-equipped to succeed and expand our business for the future."
Fusilier, an established entrepreneur with multiple successful ventures throughout Florida, including a gym, event space, restaurant, and property management, has appointed real estate professional and broker Rob West as the managing broker for Engel & Völkers New Smyrna Beach. West brings over two decades of industry experience, having been a top producer at well-known brands like RE/MAX, Keller Williams Realty, and Coldwell Banker. His new role at Engel & Völkers New Smyrna Beach is not his first leadership position; he previously served as the CEO of a Keller Williams Market Center and Broker-Owner of Orlando Home Team Realty. A local resident of New Smyrna Beach, West combines high-level industry expertise with extensive knowledge of the local market.
"Adapting to the ever-changing luxury real estate market is a significant challenge we face," said West. "Staying ahead in marketing and technology is crucial to meet sophisticated client expectations. Fortunately, Engel & Völkers provides innovative tools like their digital marketing platform and CRM system to help us excel. These resources enable us to connect with clients effectively, deliver personalized service, and increase deal closures. Our commitment to advisor and staff training aligns with Engel & Völkers offerings, including the prestigious Academy and ongoing professional development programs. Through these opportunities, we equip our team with the latest market trends and technological expertise to thrive in this competitive industry."
Engel & Völkers New Smyrna Beach will specialize in luxury waterfront properties, including beachfront homes, riverfront estates, and properties with direct access to local waterways. The brokerage's expertise also extends to luxury golf course communities, equestrian properties, and historic homes in the area. With the backing of Engel & Völkers, the brokerage plans to expand its reach into new luxury submarkets, including vacation rentals and the luxury yacht market.
"New Smyrna Beach is a highly attractive area for those seeking an active lifestyle in a rapidly developing Florida beach town," said Peter Giese, CEO of Engel & Völkers Florida. "We are proud to welcome a highly successful serial entrepreneur like Steve and his staff to our global luxury network."
The New Smyrna Beach real estate market benefits from several key feeder markets, including the Northeastern United States (especially New York and New Jersey), the Midwest (with a focus on the Chicago area), and international buyers from Canada and Europe. These markets are attracted to the area for its appealing attributes such as beautiful beaches, warm climate, outdoor lifestyle, upscale amenities, and favorable investment opportunities. With a commitment to excellence, Engel & Völkers New Smyrna Beach will strive to foster strong relationships with clients in these feeder markets and beyond, serving as trusted advisors catering to their specific needs.
