A couple of weeks ago, a friend I have known for a number of years asked me to join him at another company and to work with a team. My response was easy: No thanks. In fact I said, I will never leave this company....to which he replied, why? My answer: Reputation, Integrity, and Management. Engel & Völkers has the reputation of being the fastest growing company in Metro Atlanta and is attracting the best caliber agents, with training and professionalism. EV as a company manages with integrity and does everything possible to make the right decision in every circumstance. Engel & Völkers has something no other company can claim: Our founder, and Chairman of the company, is involved daily in the operation, the door is open for conversation, and she works alongside a Full Time managing Broker, Full Time Qualifying Broker, as well as In-House Marketing team; every agent here has all the tools necessary to become successful. It’s really that simple and anyone would be proud to be a part of the team!

I get pitch calls from other brokerages very often, which makes it easy to say why Engel & Volkers Atlanta is the place for me. Most brokerages provide a similar suite of tools to their advisors to grow their business. However, EVA is about people. Ethics training is a required recurring course in our industry, but when it’s baked into the essence of who we are as a company, it elevates the experience for everyone and shows in how we work with our clients. EVA is exclusive yet inclusive; EVA is local yet global; and most of all EVA is all about business yet fun!!

I chose to work at Engel & Völkers Atlanta not only because of Christa Huffstickler’s vision and creativity to market this brand to the next level, but because of the way she values and supports every single agent and member of staff equally and wholeheartedly. There is nothing she will not do for each one of us and her energy & positivity is infectious and encouraging. She is an amazing leader who empowers us all and teaches us that growth and expansion are always the only options to thrive and be successful. She also manages to do exactly what she says, every time, on time, without fail, and usually better than she promised.
