Create opportunities.

An introduction begins not with a busi-ness card but with a promise to deliver higher quality service and a commitment to exceed expectations. This unique card creates the opportunity to describe our brand‘s core values. It quickly establish-

es your competence to produce excep-tional results, an essence of exclusivity, and gives you the chance to express your passion for what you do best. This card makes a strong impression that will keep you on the minds of potential clients.

The E&V brand card – making the first connection a lasting one.

The Engel & Völkers story is like no other--from a specialized boutique agen-cy in Hamburg, Germany to an interna-tional brand representing premium prop-erties around the world, and to you, an elite representative providing an excep-tional level of service in your local mar-ket. It’s a story about our guided expan-sion throughout Europe, Africa, Asia, South America and North America, to

meet the additional needs of our most valued clients and bringing the prestige of our brand into new markets, includ-ing commercial real estate and luxury yachting. And how, in our geographic expansion, we selected only the world’s most desired real estate markets. Every agent who represents the Engel & Völk-ers brand is part of the story, which is one that our clients want to hear.

The Engel & Völkers story – the origin of extraordinary service.

2Be original.

Page 10: Distinctive Marketing Measures
Page 11: Distinctive Marketing Measures

It’s the unique design and purpose of our distinctive white shops that are at the very heart of the Engel & Völkers global brand strategy. Throughout the world, Engel & Völkers shops are lo-cated in the neighborhoods and streets where our clients live, work and play. They are designed to encourage side-walk traffic to view our exclusive prop-

erty exposés and to invite potential sellers and buyers to meet our team. Professional conference spaces provide a safe and comfortable environment for client consultations. For world travel-ers, the sight of an Engel & Völkers shop wherever it may be, brings to mind the same expectation of high-end ser-vice and exceptional real estate.

Our shop concept – beyond a real estate office.

3Be in the best locations.

4Communicate leadership.

We’ve created a well-crafted brokerage brochure that distinguishes you and your services from competitors in the mar-ketplace and leverages the value of the Engel & Völkers brand. It’s designed to fully communicate your service quality, passion and true international network. Brochures are created with Engel &

Völkers’ unique and elegant design style with pre-written content that can be cus-tomized or replaced to explain the ben-efits in your own words. In the end, with some time and effort, you will have a company brochure to communicate your position in the local market.

Brokerage brochures – announcing that the best is even better.

Page 14: Distinctive Marketing Measures
Page 15: Distinctive Marketing Measures

Agent brochures – sharing your story.

We’ve taken the idea of an agent bio a step further with our professionally writ-ten, high quality agent brochures. Your experience, successes and capabilities as a market leader will tell the story of who you are and how you came to rep-

resent the Engel & Völkers brand. We’ll work with you to develop the right tone in your copy, photography and design. This piece also lives electronically and is a valuable addition to your online marketing.

5Distinguish yourself.

Page 16: Distinctive Marketing Measures
Page 17: Distinctive Marketing Measures

The collaborative approach – merging talent and resources.

The U.S. real estate industry is always evolving which means the way we com-pete for business is always changing. In the past several decades the industry has shifted from broker-centric marketing to agent-centric marketing.

Today, however, these approaches are less effective because consumers are de-manding more. It’s no longer just about the broker or the agent. Understanding this shift, we’ve developed a revolution-ary, collaborative branding approach that sets us apart from our competitors.

Engel & Völkers is the only global real estate company that uses an extraordi-nary collaborative logo that positions the expertise of its agents with the brand’s expansive reach and proven resources. This collaborative logo represents a merger of your talent and the brand.

Of course, this begins in selecting only the best agents in the industry to repre-sent Engel & Völkers. It is an unprece-dented approach to real estate in the U.S. and anywhere else in the world where properties are sold.

6Succeed together.

Professional stationery – standing the test of time.

Technology gives us the ability to con-nect to more people, faster. Yet, in real estate, it’s still the first impressions and personal connections that make the dif-ference between leaders and followers. That’s why we continue to invest in de-signing the perfect stationery of the best materials for you to properly introduce yourself and keep in touch with your

most valued clients. Professional busi-ness cards, letterhead and envelopes, are all personalized and finished in Engel & Völkers’ distinguished style. For the ex-tra touch, we’ve also created time-hon-ored compliment cards, designed specif-ically for those important hand-written notes that truly make a statement.

7Reach out and truly connect.

E&V signage – declare a higher standard.

Our signs are trusted around the world as a symbol of exclusive, highly-valued real estate opportunities. The yard sign is sleek and elegantly designed, complete with its distinct red banister knob, which is a symbol of home. In addition, our sign riders provide the opportunity to at-tach detailed information, such as status,

features, and property websites. Also, our yard and open house signs link your listings with the prestige of the Engel & Völkers brand for homeowners in your market. Signs are produced by proven corporate partners to meet the highest quality standards and can be ordered and delivered on demand, effortlessly.

guages, GG, explores life, travel and ad-

Market exposure – The impact of the

amount of time a property remains

on the market.

The chart represents the amount of inter-

est among potential homebuyers once a

property is listed. Statistics show that in-

terest and excitement are highest within

the first four weeks on the market. With

the higher level of interest comes the

best opportunity to communicate the

value of the property and to ultimately

sell it. Preparation and, especially pric-

ing, are crucial in capitalizing on this

initial exposure. As weeks pass and

without the added recognition as a “new

listing”, interest falls and reintroducing

the home at an adjusted price typically

does not receive the same attention as

the first four weeks

Timing is extremely important in the real estate market. The graph below illustrates the

importance of placing your property on the market at a realistic price and terms from

the very beginning. A property attracts the most excitement and interest from the real

estate community and potential buyers when it is first listed; therefore, it has the highest

chance of selling when it is new on the market.

Pricing is everything. If you miss the right price range, the

Finding the best buyer for a home is to

expose it to the largest number of poten-

tial buyers. The market often dictates the

amount of attention a home will receive

based on its listed price. Pricing above

market value will get the attention of

fewer potential buyers. Pricing at or be-

low market value will attract more buy-

ers.

Mobile strategy – to be everywhere home buyers search.

Over 40% of real estate related search-es on Google are coming from mobile devices. And for the first time this year Trulia, Zillow and REALTOR.com, the most popular real estate search sites are receiving the majority of their inquiries from their mobile applications. As an in-dustry leader, Engel & Völkers was one of the first to develop our own mobile apps and optimize our marketing tools for mobile access to ensure our clients’ properties maximum exposure in this emerging segment. Additionally, our

listings are available to home buyers on the most downloaded real estate mobile apps, including Trulia, Zillow and RE-ALTOR.

All of our printed marketing materials can be mobilized with our custom Engel & Völkers branded QR codes that lead traffic directly to our listed properties. The codes can appear on our exposés, postcards, sign riders and other cam-paigns we use to reach potential buyers.

28Capture more mobile leads.

QR codes – mobile tagging for quick response.

Our wide use of Engel & Völkers brand-ed QR codes give mobile phone and tab-let users the ability to know more about a property at the best possible time -- the moment they discover it.

We can place our QR codes on our mar-keting materials, including exposés, ad-vertisements, post cards and sign riders. Using our codes we drive traffic to listed properties, neighborhood information, Advisor information and to other areas where we can convert interest into leads.

29Instant discovery.

Global reach – gain real access to international buyers.

According to the National Association of Realtors, more than $82 billion worth of homes in the U.S. were sold to inter-national buyers in the 12-month period ending in March 2012. Global market conditions and the rise of new booming economies in other countries have wid-ened the audience for potential buyers within your local market. To win new listings, it is now essential to show your ability to draw buyers from abroad. The key to Engel & Völkers international growth strategy has always been to open and operate in markets where we know our clients want to be--the most desir-able locations in the world. We’ve also established our shop concept as a suc-cessful part of this strategy, maintain-ing our consistent brand design globally so that we are easily recognizable and trusted by our international real estate clients. As a U.S. real estate agent, there has never been more of an advantage in joining the Engel & Völkers brand.

There are frequent opportunities to build relationships with other Advisors from our 400+ locations in 36 countries throughout Europe, Africa, Asia and South America. We utilize our network to provide opportunities to advertise list-ings in international publications and to display exposés on main streets around the world. Our Engel & Völkers U.S. Advisors have received invitations and have attended home shows abroad. They have attended training in workshops on foreign real estate markets and have also shared their own knowledge regarding the U.S. market. Similar training and tools are easily accessible to convey your unparalleled international capabili-ties as part of your listing presentations. As an Engel & Völkers Advisor, your clients will be better positioned to ben-efit from the current international real estate market where a potential buyer could be in your local market or from a neighborhood half a world away.
