Engel & Völkers

Engel & Völkers is a real estate company founded in Hamburg in 1977, known for high-end residential property. Its Private Office unit provides confidential, tailored advisory on buying and selling prime property for wealthy individuals and family offices. The service focuses on discreet and off-market transactions, drawing on a global network of dedicated Private Office advisors. Engel & Völkers states that the Private Office works directly with family offices, personal representatives and institutional advisors acting for clients, and that it is supported by relocation and concierge partners. Family offices would typically use it for acquiring or selling luxury residential property where privacy matters, rather than for commercial real estate investment.
