Real estate franchise as an investment model in Germany and Austria: How your startup investment works

Why should you seriously consider the Engel & Völkers franchise system as a capital investment? By choosing a self-employed career as a real estate agent, you’re entering a high-growth economic sector that offers attractive long-term returns, especially for first-time entrepreneurs. Why is that? When you treat the acquisition of an Engel & Völkers franchise license as a capital investment, the initial entry fee essentially becomes your investment sum. Your equity capital is initially used for securing office space, furnishing, team recruitment, and covering the franchise fee. In other words, you are financing the foundation of a proven business model, with the goal of increasing your income and growing your invested capital over time.

Compared to the traditional model of buying real estate and earning returns through rental income, our real estate franchise investment requires more initiative. The capital is not simply invested once and left to grow passively; instead, it serves as a foundation for actively building and expanding your business. As a franchisee of an Engel & Völkers license in Germany or Austria, you gain access to a highly dynamic investment model, where the potential for capital accumulation is essentially unlimited — and tied directly to your personal dedication and decision-making.

To ensure you’re well-prepared for every strategic decision, Engel & Völkers supports you as a reliable and experienced partner, providing comprehensive assistance from the moment you establish your independent real estate business — and continuing alongside you as you grow.

Franchise as an investment: Why Engel & Völkers is the right choice

Expand our global presence — with over 1,000 locations worldwide — by opening your own shop in Germany or Austria, and start profiting right away from our strong brand awareness, proven business performance, maximum transparency, and comprehensive support.
