Has your career reached a turning point? Would you like to reinvent yourself? Start afresh as an Engel & Völkers licensed partner and guarantee long-term career success. Best of all: you can join us regardless of whether or not you’ve had any prior real estate experience.
Towards the middle or end of their working lives, many people begin to crave a new career path. The real estate sector has always been open to people changing careers – after all, it takes far more than specialist industry expertise to succeed.
Far more than age or industry expertise, there are other skills that are key to success as a licensed partner at Engel & Völkers. If real estate fascinates you and you have a passion for the industry, you’ve already met the key criteria. Other major drivers of success are extensive expertise in management and an entrepreneurial approach and spirit. An extensive professional and personal network is also useful. This will help ‘open doors’ for you as a licensed partner and is the key to succeeding in real estate.
Of course, you can’t succeed without any specialist knowledge at all. That’s why you receive specific training when you change careers to take over a license area at Engel & Völkers. As a franchisee, you follow an induction programme involving specialist seminars and on-the-job coaching. This process helps you pick up useful practical tips for your day-to-day business. The Engel & Völkers training programme helps you learn the basics of the industry and get to grips with the main aspects of the franchise system. Engel & Völkers offers a wide range of training opportunities, so you can keep your expertise up-to-date and build a solid knowledge base going forward.
There are many examples of people successfully changing careers to become a licensed partner at Engel & Völkers. Niki Thomet, for instance, acquired the licence for the Lake Zurich-Thalwil-Zimmerberg area in 2019, having spent over two decades in global business with a large corporation. He appreciates operating under the renowned Engel & Völkers brand name and benefiting from synergies in the franchise system while enjoying autonomy as an entrepreneur. The various training modules he completed at the start helped him better understand Engel & Völkers as a company, brand and system – and succeed within it.
