GAINESVILLE, Fla., March 16, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Engel & Völkers Florida today announced Engel & Völkers Gainesville, one of the company's newest franchises, will be opening at Tioga Town Center in Newberry, Florida. License Partner, Carrie Cason has been recruiting top local talent including Lynn Haller, Kimberly Mitchell, Anna Olcese, Emily Roberts and Tracey Todd.
"After learning about Engel & Völkers, I knew this was something that Gainesville sorely needed," said Cason. "Thanks in large part to the brand platform, I was able to recruit some of the top realtors in Alachua County. Our real estate advisors are highly-trained, dedicated to their profession and truly understand the unique needs of each client in the North Florida real estate market. Our advisors are all excited to provide a luxury experience to all clients, regardless of price point."
Engel & Völkers Gainesville will be located at 13085 SW 1st Lane, Suite 40, Newberry, FL 32669 in Tioga Town Center. Tioga Town Center takes pride in combining the best of a big city with the charm of a small community to bring the residents and guests the ultimate convenience through a mix of living, shopping, working and dining. Dedicated to outstanding quality in design and construction, the shopping mall includes 23-acres of mixed-use development, 100,000 square feet of retail and office space, as well as The Flats, 184 units of luxury residential space. It is the gateway to the fastest growing area in Alachua County, the Town of Tioga, a 500-acre master-planned community. Nearly $1,000,000,000 worth of real estate is transacted annually in Alachua County. The median purchase price was $257,000 of nearly 3,000 sales conducted in 2020.
"Carrie managed to attract top local talent to her new Engel & Völkers Gainesville shop before she had even secured a physical location," said Peter Giese, Chief Growth Officer at Engel & Völkers Florida. "That's a testament to her skill and likeability as a broker, as well as the strength of Engel & Völkers' brand platform. This situation simply mirrors what we have seen in all the markets we operate within the state of Florida, and once again demonstrates how Engel & Völkers fills an unmet need for a collaborative global network and industry-leading services that top realtors want to affiliate with."
Cason recruited Haller, Mitchell, Olcese, Roberts and Todd from companies such as Coldwell Banker M.M. Parrish Realtors, Keller Williams Gainesville Realty Partners and Swift Creek Realty; together, they have conducted more than 1,000 transactions, totaling over $513,000,000.
