Engel & VVlkers First Coast ranks at the top of Jacksonville
Business Journal's 'Fast 50' list
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Sept. 27,
2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Engel & VVlkers
Florida today announced that Engel & VVlkers First Coast, a
consortium of six locations across northeast Florida, has earned the remarkable distinction
of being named the fastest-growing company in all of northeast
Florida over the past three years
by the Jacksonville Business Journal. This recognition comes with
an impressive average growth rate of 320-percent during this
period. This prestigious award underscores the relentless
commitment to excellence and unwavering dedication of Engel &
VVlkers franchisee, Corey Hasting,
and the entire Engel & VVlkers First Coast team.
I realized that real estate in Jacksonville hasn't changed in a very long
time, and I wanted to create a company that could be held to a
higher standard with top-level professionals who could provide a
white-glove level of service to any price point.
"What led me to start Engel & VVlkers First Coast was
opportunity," said Hasting. "I realized that real estate in
Jacksonville hasn't changed in a
very long time, and I wanted to create a company that could be held
to a higher standard with top-level professionals who could provide
a white-glove level of service to any price point. I wanted to
create an environment that was centered around like-minded
individuals who want to collaborate with other successful real
estate advisors."
For more than 25 years, the Jacksonville Business Journal has
annually recognized the fastest-growing companies along
Florida's 'First Coast,' a
historic coastal region in northeast Florida. The coveted 'Fast 50' list has
consistently shone a spotlight on companies that have thrived
during prosperous times, persevered during economic downturns, and
served as beacons of innovation, hard work, and creativity. This
year's distinguished list of honorees represents a spectrum of
industries, including real estate, transportation, technology, and
manufacturing. Together, the Fast 50 honorees have collectively
experienced an astounding surge in revenue exceeding $2-billion over the past three years.
"What we've done to keep our company culture strong is to never
waver from who we are and what we are," said Hasting. "When we
recruit advisors in our market, we recruit culture first and
production second. Unfortunately, the real estate industry has
taken some heat over the last few years for not having the level of
professionalism that it should. So at Engel & VVlkers, that's
the most important piece, and holding yourself to a higher standard
isn't just a slogan, it's part of the DNA of who our company
is."
Hasting's remarkable journey, from seizing the opportunity to
create a higher standard in real estate to successfully navigating
market volatility and fostering a culture of collaboration, has
played a pivotal role in Engel & VVlkers First Coast's
phenomenal growth. This award not only reflects his dedication but
also highlights the entire Engel & VVlkers network's ability to
provide unwavering support and guidance from the corporate level,
enabling our franchisees to achieve unparalleled success and set
new standards in the industry.
"It is rewarding to see Corey being recognized as the top leader
that he is, not just in real estate, but for the entire business
community of Jacksonville," said
Peter Giese, CEO of Engel &
VVlkers Florida. "Since joining our global franchise brand, Corey
has consistently stood out from the competition and demonstrated
his commitment to excellence, which sets a model performance
standard for the rest of our network. We look forward to witnessing
Engel & VVlkers First Coast's continued success and dedication
to redefining the real estate industry's standards."
Hasting is the Owner and Managing Broker of six Engel &
VVlkers shops in Amelia Island,
Jacksonville, Jacksonville Beach, Neptune Beach, Ponte
Vedra Beach and San Marco. Before joining forces with the
global franchise brand, Hasting consistently ranked among the top
residential real estate agents of northeast Florida and was awarded numerous accolades
while previously with Keller Williams Realty. Since affiliating
with Engel & VVlkers, he has recruited over 130 top-producing
advisors who represented more than 1,000 transactions, totaling
close to $700-million in sales volume
this year alone. The company is up 24-percent in sales volume from
this time last year, and they are on pace to surpass $1-billion.
