Engel & Völkers announced its strengthened presence in Pennsylvania today with a new shop opening in Philadelphia. Jim Becker, Ed Casella, and Logan Rothman will operate as Engel & Völkers Philadelphia, becoming the premier destination for high-end real estate services in Philadelphia and the surrounding suburbs. Engel & Völkers will celebrate the grand opening on May 9, 2024.
With more than fifty years of combined experience in the real estate industry coupled with backgrounds in sales, development services, construction, leasing, and management operations, this leadership team brings a wealth of real estate knowledge to the City of Brotherly Love and beyond.
"We are thrilled to introduce Engel & Volkers to the vibrant real estate market of Philadelphia," said Anthony Hitt, president and CEO of Engel & Völkers Americas. "As the sixth largest city in the United States, Philadelphia's rich history, diverse culture, and a wide range of real estate opportunities, from historic homes to luxury condos and resort-style rentals, make it ideally suited for the Engel & Völkers brand."
Known as the birthplace of America, the city boasts first-rate universities, renowned hospitals and research centers, and a thriving tourism and hospitality industry. With close proximity to other major East Coast cities, beautiful beaches, and the picturesque Pennsylvania countryside, Philadelphia offers an ideal place to call home for many. The city draws buyers from the surrounding suburbs, other East Coast cities, the West Coast, Europe, and the Middle East, resulting in a dynamic and diverse real estate market.
"I've seen the evolution of this market, and it has emerged as a desirable destination for international and domestic buyers alike," said Becker. "Engel & Völkers' vast global network and our local expertise ensures we are well-equipped to offer a world of opportunities to both our clients and advisors." Casella also shared, "The brand's tools, resources, and support will empower our real estate professionals to unlock their full potential and provide the best possible service to our clients."
