From fashion to real estate success: the inspiring story of Esther Casaín as a real estate agent

From fashion to luxury properties

Before working in real estate, Esther was a fashion designer and stylist. Her aesthetic eye and sensitivity to understand people’s tastes and needs had always been with her, and she soon discovered that they could become her best allies in buying and selling homes.

What began as an interest in decoration and helping relatives find properties turned into an exciting career. “You realize it’s so much more,” she says. “It’s constant and very enriching learning, both professionally and personally.”

Training and constant support at Engel & Völkers

One of the decisive factors for her success was the continuous training that Engel & Völkers offers its agents. Esther emphasizes that she never feels alone in the process:
“We are constantly being trained, and there is always someone by our side to help with whatever is needed.”

This support, combined with working with exclusive properties and demanding clients, creates an environment where professional growth is inevitable.

High-level clients and exclusive properties

One of the greatest attractions of working at Engel & Völkers is direct access to a demanding client profile, with high purchasing power and clear expectations of what they are looking for.
These clients value discretion, personalized service, and excellence, which makes every transaction a stimulating challenge and an opportunity to build long-term relationships.

Esther Casaín also explains that this environment is what makes it possible to close high-value transactions and live professional experiences that make a difference.

An anecdote as a real estate agent

Among the many transactions she has closed, Esther fondly remembers one sale on Avinguda de Sarrià.
A young couple was looking for their first home and, after visiting several apartments, they managed to see one of the most sought-after in the area before anyone else.
“We were at the viewing when they looked at me and said: This is our apartment. There was a lot of interest, so we drafted the offer right there in the elevator! Minutes later, the owner practically accepted it.”

The best part of the story is that today she is also helping that same couple’s parents find a property. “In the end, a bond is created… almost a family,” she explains.

Lessons from a career at Engel & Völkers

For Esther, success is not measured only in sales, but in the ability to accompany each client at their own pace and through their own process.
“I’ve learned to let people take their time, to help them find the home they want, and to ensure the owner sells at the price they’re looking for. That shared satisfaction is what makes it all worthwhile.”

Engel & Völkers as a place to grow as an agent
