Former Engel & Völkers First Coast of Jacksonville has joined Christie’s International Real Estate, expanding the brokerage’s footprint into Northeast Florida.

The 130-agent firm will continue to operate out of six office locations in Amelia Island, Jacksonville Beach, Ponte Vedra Beach, St. Johns, San Marco and Neptune Beach under the leadership of founder Corey Hasting. First Coast also announced plans to add a new office in St. Augustine.

Founded by Hasting in 2018, First Coast achieved nearly $1 billion in sales volume in 2024.

“Corey’s passion for his work, his entrepreneurial spirit and the extraordinary team he’s built in just seven years are what truly set First Coast apart,” said Gavin Swartzman, president of Christie’s International. “He has not only created a regional powerhouse, but one that reflects our shared commitment to excellence and elevated client service.”

“We are incredibly fortunate to partner with Christie’s International Real Estate, the global leader in luxury real estate, at a time when Jacksonville’s luxury segment is growing,” added Hasting. “The brand’s prestige, extensive international network and technology offerings position us incredibly well as we look to expand our footprint in Northeast Florida.”
