A career of your own making: The independent work of a real estate agent at Engel & Völkers

Flexible working hours, exciting customer contacts, attractive earning opportunities - all of which are offered by a career as a real estate agent. Often, however, real estate agents are faced with the challenge of achieving these goals through self-management and personal responsibility. Learn how Engel & Völkers supports you to work independently and thus take your career to the next level.

Real estate agent: A profession like no other

It is the flexibility in particular which makes a career as a real estate agent so appealing for many. Because here your working week does not follow the classic 40-hour model. When you do your work is largely up to you. You can thus adapt your work schedule precisely to your personal preferences and obligations without negatively affecting your career. Whether you prefer to sit in the office or complete your tasks in the comfort of your home office can usually easily be determined together with your shop manager. The only exception, of course, being your appointments with clients and team meetings.

As an Engel & Völkers expert, it is also your responsibility to represent the assigned marketing area, the so-called farming area. As a real estate agent, you are the professional point of contact for clients who are interested in learning more about the properties on offer or about the district itself. It is up to you to decide when and to what extent you want to deepen your knowledge. Thus, your success as a real estate broker largely rests with one person: yourself!

Engel & Völkers supports you to build an independent career

These are all challenges that a real estate agent faces on a daily basis. For this reason, Engel & Völkers provides you access to numerous training programs, tools and apps that support you in your tasks and actively promote personal responsibility.

This applies, for example, to the continuous acquisition and marketing efforts in your farming area. Engel & Völkers helps you with these tasks by providing sound marketing and client retention support. This includes proven advertising materials such as newsletters and high-quality exposés, but also technical innovations such as 3D photo shots of real estate. For your professional online presence, Engel & Völkers also provides you with high-quality content on a regular basis, as well as with an excellent digital infrastructure.

The property app that was specially developed by Engel & Völkers will help you keep an overview of your farming area and supply you with relevant news directly. This helps you to learn more about your area and interact with other experts in the Engel & Völkers network. In addition, we offer regular webinars to help you succeed as a real estate agent in the digital world.

The unique global network of real estate agents under the Engel & Völkers brand gives you the opportunity to reach customers all over the world. Thus, your earning potential basically knows no limits. And of course, Engel & Völkers also provides after-sales support in the form of high-quality advertising materials for successful after-sales marketing.
