Shirley Gary, Managing Broker of Engel & Völkers Buckhead Atlanta, part of Engel & Völkers, announces the appointment of Valerie Levin, Senior Vice President, Business Development & Operations, and Joe Gary, Builder Account Manager, to her management team.
As Engel & Völkers Buckhead Atlanta, Gary’s company provides unparalleled professional service to its residential and luxury real estate clients, including its widely respected new homes division.
Valerie Levin brings more than 25 years of experience in sales, management, training and recruiting in the real estate industry to her Senior VP position with Engel & Völkers Buckhead Atlanta, most recently as a Corporate Recruiter for one of the city’s largest real estate companies.
Levin is looking forward to expanding her role at Engel & Völkers Buckhead Atlanta. “Not only do I get to bring in the talent, but I will work closely with Shirley Gary on the brokering side, helping her implement our very high standards and create an environment that supports a premier production level,” she says.
In view of Engel & Völkers’ global presence, Levin notes: “It will be a challenge for Atlanta-area Realtors to grow their business to another level – unless they are open to a global view. There is a certain business acumen we look for when interviewing agents for Engel & Völkers Buckhead Atlanta. It must encompass and embrace the international aspect of our company’s business model.”
Joe Gary, licensed Broker and well-known in the Atlanta residential builders community for his expertise and in-depth knowledge of the greater metropolitan Atlanta market, previously held similar management positions within a large national mortgage company. As Builder Account Manager for Engel & Völkers Buckhead Atlanta, Joe Gary is responsible for the day-to-day relationships with builders and their teams, as well as the overall success of the company’s flourishing new homes division that currently includes more than 50 neighborhoods and subdivisions.
“We are expecting to grow rapidly between now and the time we open our new storefront office in Buckhead Atlanta early in 2015. Thanks to Valerie, we will be able to recruit some of the best resale agents in the market,” according to Shirley Gary. “We aim to have a total of 80-100 Advisors in our resale and new homes divisions. The time is right. Atlanta is ready for Engel & Völkers Buckhead Atlanta.”
