Engel & Völkers has announced its newest shop in Canada in Mont-Tremblant, Quebec, bringing the firm’s global network and exclusive level of service to residents and visitors of this top resort location. The opening comes as an alliance between the leading international real estate firm and Playground Tremblant, a resort real estate brokerage firm and subsidiary of Intrawest, one of North America’s premiere mountain resort and adventure companies and owner of Station Mont Tremblant Resort. Playground Tremblant veteran and real estate market leader, Steven Lafave, is the Managing Director of the new Engel & Völkers Tremblant.
“As a lifestyle brand we are proud to be joining with Playgound and Intrawest and to have Steve and his team representing Engel & Völkers to clients who enjoy the outdoor, mountain living that this extraordinary resort location offers,” said Anthony Hitt, CEO of Engel & Völkers North America. “The new Engel & Völkers Tremblant will provide the area’s home sellers and buyers with the highest levels of quality client services, marketing expertise and an unmatched level of international reach from the network of more than 7,000 Engel & Völkers professionals around the world who now support them.”
“Because of their international reputation for their exclusive real estate services and expertise, we know that visitors and residents who come to Tremblant from around the world, will be happy to see that Engel & Völkers has arrived in this market,” said Patrice Malo, president and CEO of Station Mont Tremblant.
Intrawest acquired Station Mont Tremblant in 1991 and developed the area’s real estate market into a vibrant resort community for residents and visitors year round. Intrawest established Playground Tremblant with Lafave and his team to provide real estate services in the area, which they have been doing for more than 20 years. Tremblant’s real estate offerings include waterfront homes, ski-in and ski-out condos, golfside residences and premium log homes. The nearby airport servicing with Porter and Air Canada from both Toronto airport makes the destination easily accessible for international visitors.
“Tremblant is known for its skiing but it’s a year round destination for its autumn colors in Fall and the lakeside beaches during the summer,” said Lafave. “Its proximity to Montreal also makes it a popular destination, but the biggest draw among our international residents and visitors is the European culture and spirited lifestyle.”
Engel & Völkers Tremblant headquarters are located in the pedestrian village, providing leading services to buyers and sellers of premier Mont-Tremblant properties. Host to world-class events including the Ironman Series, Wanderlust Festival and countless cultural events both at the resort and in the region, Tremblant was voted #1 Ski Resort in Eastern North America 18 times by SKI Magazine readers, and named one of the World’s 25 Best Ski Towns in 2014, according to National Geographic.
With its newest shops in Toronto, King City, Collingwood, Vancouver, Victoria, Calgary and Montreal; and, in the U.S. with San Francisco, Beverly Hills, Lake Tahoe, Houston, South Charlotte, Minneapolis and New York City, Engel & Völkers continues to strengthen its presence in premium real estate markets across North America. Additionally, Engel & Völkers continues to expand throughout Canada with planned openings in several new markets.
