Engel & Völkers Florida is launching a new location in South Florida with Engel & Völkers Pompano Beach.
Francisco Garcia, owner of two Engel & Völkers franchises in Fort Lauderdale, and Marie Gonneville from Engel & Völkers Montréal in Canada, will lead the new office, which will be in suite 105 at 2401 East Atlantic Blvd.
A grand opening event will be held once the office buildout is complete.
A 15-year real estate veteran, Gonneville previously served as a commercial and residential real estate broker at Engel & Völkers Montréal. Before that, she worked with luxury brands like LVMH (Louis Vuitton – Moët Hennessy). She is a member of the Quebec Real Estate Brokerage Self-Regulatory Organization and the Quebec Real Estate Board.
“Joining Engel & Völkers Pompano Beach presents an exciting opportunity to combine my extensive global experience in luxury brands, real estate and management,” Gonneville said in a press release. “I am passionate about bringing a sophisticated and international perspective to the Pompano Beach market. Together, we aim to redefine the luxury real estate experience, drawing on our collective expertise to offer unparalleled service and insights to our clients.”
Garcia owns Engel & Völkers Fort Lauderdale and a satellite location in The Ocean Resort Residences at the Conrad Fort Lauderdale Beach. He also leads Garcia Signature Properties Group with his wife, Niliana Nassar-Garcia. The firm comprises a 13-member team that specializes in new construction projects. Before he entered real estate, Garcia owned 27 nightclubs and bars over the course of 30 years.
“I’ve successfully attracted great agents to Engel & Völkers Fort Lauderdale, propelling our brokerage to new heights,” Garcia said. “Opening my third location, in Pompano Beach, will strengthen our brand’s credibility, increase market share and establish a larger footprint in southeast Florida. I’m eager to welcome ambitious individuals hungry for success to join me at both locations.”
