St. Johns County
Together, Jenn Bryndal and Bernadette Grandinetti with Engel & Völkers St. Augustine earned five spots in the top 10 single-family home transactions in St. Johns County for a combined $20,350,000 total
ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla., April 20, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Engel & Völkers Florida today announced Jenn Bryndal and Bernadette Grandinetti with Engel & Völkers St. Augustine earned five spots in the top 10 single-family home transactions in St. John's County in 2021. 805 S. Griffin Shores closed in March for $3.3-million; 632 Ocean Palm Way closed in May for $2.85-million; 959 Ponte Vedra Blvd and 165 Inlet Drive closed in June for $7.8-million and $3.6-million respectively, and 953 N. Griffin Shores closed in August for $2.8-million.
"Having sold 4 of the 10 highest priced homes in St. Johns County MLS is an accomplishment that brings me a deep sense of satisfaction and helps me know I have earned the trust and respect of my customers," said Bryndal. "Guiding them in their real estate investments is an honor that I cherish and am passionate about. When they entrust me to market and sell one of their largest assets, or to look for guidance when purchasing, I treat each transaction as if it were my own, ensuring they achieve the highest sales price possible when selling and make the soundest investment when purchasing."
Grandinetti, who joined Bryndal's brokerage in November 2020, is a relative newcomer to the real estate industry. She has represented 25 transactions thus far, totaling nearly 14-million in sales volume, with an average price of $543,512. Since becoming an advisor with Engel & Völkers, she has more than tripled her business.
"It was never my intention to embark on a real estate career and achieve record-breaking sales numbers so quickly," said Grandinetti. "I found Engel & Völkers and it fell into place. While I am proud of and further motivated by this landmark sale, the true pleasure of my work has always been the joy of helping families and individuals achieve their own real estate goals."
The typical value of homes in St. Johns County has risen 36-percent over the past year to $486,277. The average price of the top five homes sold by Engel & Völkers St. Augustine in 2021 was $4,070,000 and the highest being $7.8 million; which is more than 737-percent greater than the average home in the market.
"The Engel & Völkers client-centric value proposition attracts real estate agents who love the consistent, superior brand marketing focused on the luxury market," said Peter Giese, CEO of Engel & Völkers Florida. "Upon joining Engel & Völkers, the agent's status in the industry is elevated to that of advisor and they are able to win listings and represent clients in the luxury market that they were not able to attract prior to joining our brand. Bernadette is a shining example, with 262-percent growth since affiliating with us."
Bryndal left Berkshire Hathaway Homeservices Florida Network Realty in 2019 to partner with Engel & Völkers on her first franchised real estate brokerage, Engel & Völkers St. Augustine. At the time, she was averaging $20-million in sales volume annually. Since then, the brokerage has grown 250-percent and is on track to close $100-million in sales volume this year. Bryndal also recently secured the franchise rights to neighboring territory, Palm Coast, which is slated to open later this year.
"As the broker and owner of Engel & Völkers St. Augustine, I am beyond proud of Bernadette and my entire team," said Bryndal. "To witness Bernadette and all my advisors having record-breaking sales and more than doubling their business is truly fulfilling. They have all embraced our core values of Competence, Exclusivity and Passion, and their commitment and hard work has made such a tremendous impact in our market."
