Global real estate brand, Engel & Völkers continues franchise expansion in northeast Florida with two new shop locations in Ponte Vedra Beach and San Marco
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Oct. 24, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Engel & Völkers Florida today announced its latest franchise expansions in Ponte Vedra Beach and San Marco, marking the tenth and eleventh Engel & Völkers shops opened in Florida this year, and the eighth and ninth locations in northeast Florida. The strategic expansion is part of franchisee Corey Hasting's regional growth plan; he already owns four other brokerages located in Amelia Island, Jacksonville, Jacksonville Beach, and Neptune Beach.
"We have been planning our expansion into Ponte Vedra Beach and San Marco for over two years," said Hasting. "Finally, everything aligned allowing us to make it happen for our advisors and their clients. These communities are a perfect fit for the Engel & Völkers brand and compliment our other four locations. You would normally see a company scaling back during a shifting market climate like we're currently in; however we are doubling down to continue our growth throughout the First Coast. We couldn't be more excited to see what the future holds."
With the addition of Ponte Vedra Beach and San Marco, Hasting is now the Owner and Managing Broker of six Engel & Völkers shops. Before joining forces with the global franchise brand, Hasting consistently ranked among the top residential real estate agents of northeast Florida and was awarded numerous accolades while previously with Keller Williams Realty. Since affiliating with Engel & Völkers, he has recruited over 111 top-producing advisors who represented nearly 1,000 transactions, totaling close to $600,000,000 in sales volume this year alone.
Real estate in Ponte Vedra Beach has been trending upward, increasing nearly 30-percent since August 2021. The median home value has now reached $780,000, selling at $348 per square foot. In addition, as the average home price in San Marco is listed at $358,000, Hasting and Engel & Völkers look to tap into the growing market and establish themselves as go-to real estate advisors in the area. The average sales price for Hasting's shops exceeds $560,000, which is 30-percent higher than the average sales price of homes in Duval County.
"We are thrilled to expand our brands footprint with two new locations in northeast Florida," said Peter Giese, CEO of Engel & Völkers Florida. "The luxury real estate market continues to see record growth in Florida and we want to keep capturing more market share to reach $1 billion in annual sales from the greater Jacksonville area. Corey is a proven leader who has demonstrated the ability to quickly seize market share when he expands into adjacent communities. His company is up over 43-percent year-over-year."
