Engel & Völkers was founded in Germany in 1977 as a specialty boutique agency providing high-end real estate services to wealthy European investors in search of assistance from experts who were highly professional and discreet. Their competence and passion quickly earned a reputation for an unparalleled level of service, highly valued network and strong leadership in the market.

In 1990, the first international shop was opened in Mallorca, Spain. It marked the beginning of  worldwide expansion throughout Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia and America. There are now Engel & Völkers offices in the major international real estate markets including Dubai, Paris, Rome, Hong Kong, London and New York City. Systems, tools and technology were put in place to ensure the same level of high-end quality and expertise in service throughout the world.

Engel & Völkers entered the North America market beginning in the United States, in 2006. Engel & Völkers has rapidly built upon its existing North American network. Worldwide, there are more than 9,000 real estate advisors in 32 countries spanning five continents. Max Hahne is proud to head up the Collingwood and Muskoka offices of Engel & Völkers Canada.

Though the Engel & Völkers firm has grown beyond a small boutique agency its core values of competence, exclusivity and passion for real estate and fine living remain our keys to success.
