Engel & Völkers Continues Central Florida Expansion with New Shop in Downtown Orlando

ORLANDO, Fla., Jan. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Engel & Völkers today announced its latest franchise expansion in Central Florida with Engel & Völkers Orlando Downtown. Local market expert Pedro Marrero will lead the new brokerage as License Partner and Broker, alongside wife Purnima Marrero who will serve as Shop Manager. The shop will be located at 230 E. Market Street. Marrero is actively recruiting talented local professionals to join his team of advisors. A grand opening is planned for early 2020.

"In my opinion, there is no brand more fitting for the Orlando market than Engel & Völkers," said Marrero. "My vision isn't to just open a real estate brokerage, but a real estate wealth management practice. I wanted the ability to build a brokerage that aligned with our business practice of providing a bespoke client service, where luxury is a lifestyle not a price point. An advisory, non-transactional approach to meet our clients' real estate needs. Contrary to the traditional model of real estate sales, our team focuses on advising clients on effective long-term real estate wealth building strategies. A practice based on gaining a thorough understanding of our clients' needs and developing lifelong relationships of trust."

Marrero comes to Engel & Völkers from Premier Sotheby's International Realty Southeast Orlando, where he was among some of the highest producing agents. Before entering the real estate industry, Marrero was a franchisee for one of the largest indoor fitness franchise brands in the country, growing a new location from scratch to 195 members in just 10 months. Prior to this, Marrero worked as a financial advisor for over eight years. Within his first year in the financial industry, Marrero was selected as one of only three Financial Advisor Associates in the United States for the CISC National Convention.

"Pedro is a quintessential example of our ideal franchisee," said Timo Khammash, Managing Partner of Engel & Völkers Florida. "He is intelligent, worldly, entrepreneurial and success-driven."

With the addition of Engel & Völkers Orlando Downtown, the company now has five locations in the Central Florida area, including Engel & Völkers Clermont, Engel & Völkers Leesburg, Engel & Völkers Orlando Winter Park and Engel & Völkers Windermere.

"We are extremely proud of our expansion in this region," said Peter Giese, Chief Growth Officer of Engel & Völkers Florida. "We are hyper-focused on continuing to find ideal partners in other key markets in the greater Orlando area, including Celebration, Kissimmee, Lake Nona, Lake Mary, Sanford and Saint Cloud."
