Engel & Völkers Florida is expanding further into the southeast Florida market with the addition of two new Miami-area brokerage shops.
Local broker Daniel Nault will convert his previously unaffiliated brokerage, Edgewater One Real Estate, to an Engel & Völkers shop, retrofitting his existing office in The Grand Retail Center at DoubleTree by Hilton Grand Hotel Biscayne Bay in the Engel & Völkers style. A grand re-opening event is scheduled for late September, with plans for a second location in Miami Beach in 2024. Both shops will collectively be known as Engel & Völkers Miami.
“We are thrilled to join the Engel & Völkers network and expand our business with a global reach that will benefit our clients,” Nault said in a press release. “The ability to further develop a luxury brand like Engel & Völkers in South Florida, specifically Miami and South Beach, is an exciting opportunity. We believe that the brand’s worldwide recognition and trajectory, combined with its diverse and international clientele, make it the perfect fit for our brokerage.”
Nault and his business partner, Vanessa Gomez, bring over 30 years of industry experience to their business venture with Engel & Völkers. Gomez will continue to lead the agents from Edgewater One Real Estate in their transition as director of luxury sales and new developments for Engel & Völkers Miami.
“Although Edgewater One Real Estate had established a strong local presence, we faced challenges with larger brands in terms of recognition and access to additional tools and support,” said Gomez. “By joining Engel & Völkers, we gain access to a broader network and support system that will help us overcome these obstacles and provide enhanced services to our clients.”
“We are thrilled to have Edgewater One Real Estate convert to our global brand,” said Engel & Völkers Florida CEO Peter Giese. “As we continue to expand our presence in Florida, it was critical to find a partner in Miami that embraced our brand and immediately added credibility to us in the local market. Daniel and his team, with their development history, meet all of those criteria.”
