Our Story
Like every client and every real estate advisor, Engel & Völkers also has a unique story. It’s one steeped in iconic heritage that drives our resolve to change the way consumers experience the properties, neighborhoods and the overall process of buying and selling a home, ranch or business.
Our story began in Hamburg, Germany in 1977 with the founding of the privately owned Engel & Völkers franchise by Christian Völkers who remains at the head of our global operations. The world of Engel & Völkers was created and continues to grow around the mission to possess the highest levels of competency and client service. Through unrivaled brand consistency, sophisticated systems and innovations, we’ve done what no other European luxury real estate franchise has been able to do — successfully establish itself in the Americas.
“Quality product offerings, premium service and innovative thinking never seem to go out of style.”
- Christian Völkers
“Once I reviewed and researched what E&V offers, I knew I had to be a part of it. Now I can offer my clients the most progressive tools, best systems and most exposure to get their listings sold. There’s nothing else like it in the real estate industry.”
-Dawn Maddux

Professional Photography/Videography
Online and in print, your home has only one chance to make a great first impression with potential buyers. Because it takes only a few moments for an opportunity to be won or lost, it becomes all the more critical that your property is presented professionally and artistically. I only work with professional photographers and videographers who have earned my trust in the quality of their work. They are the best in their fields and produce work that captures the details and essence of a property’s prominent features and assets.

I love that an agent was at all of the showings — such an elevated experience from other agents we’ve worked with. During the inspection negotiations Dawn was a great negotiator and had our back the whole time.”

“Before I decided to list and sell my house I researched several realtors in the area and from everything I read Dawn appeared to be the best realtor for me. She came to my house the following day after I called her about listing my house and was nothing but 100% professional. Her marketing of real estate is incredible as it is global. If there is a buyer for your house she will find them. I enjoyed working with Dawn and was very pleased when my house sold. The closing was spot on and was done very quickly. Thank you, Dawn Maddux.”
