European Franchise Expands in California Despite Downturn
Posted in Alternative Business Models By Stefan Swanepoel, Thursday, April 16, 2009.Engel & Völkers has just assigned its 555th license with the signing of the license region for Beverly Hills, Bel Air and Westwood by Michael Giorgio. He plans to open his first Engel and Volkers residential real estate shop in July 2009.
According to Mathias Bode, President of Engel & Volkers California, "Beverly Hills is one of the most sought-after real estate markets in the US and it fits comprehensively to E&V’s brand image. We expect a vast awareness of our arrival on the west coast due to this exciting milestone." Bode expressed his satisfaction at the rapid growth of new Engel and Völkers franchises in California despite the poor housing market.

Right now is a great time to expand. Everything is cheap, even opening new businesses and offices. Most of my multi millionaire business coaches made their fortune by taking advantage of down markets.

Watch out for Engel & Voelkers in the future! It will be a big name in the US (like it is already in 25 other countries around the world).

california is a great place to be. I heard the market was pretty soft in that upper end. People like Trump say it is a great time to buy some big ticket items. I wish you the best!!
