DELRAY BEACH, FL and BOCA RATON, FL--(Marketwired - Aug 4, 2014) - Engel & Völkers announced today the opening of its first office in Delray Beach and East and Central Boca Raton. The three offices will open later this month and will mark the luxury brand's continued expansion throughout the U.S. and around the world.
The offices will be located at 900 East Atlantic Avenue in Delray Beach, 310 East Palmetto Park Road in Boca Raton and 4855 Technology Way in Boca Raton, and are owned by Boca Raton real estate attorney Rick Felberbaum. Felberbaum and his wife Johanna have been active members of the South Palm Beach County community for more than 20 years.
The designated broker is Claire Collins, a native of London who was raised in the Principality of Monaco and has lived in Boca Raton since 1987. Ms. Collins joins Engel & Völkers after years of representing and marketing some of the finest new residential construction developments in South Florida and selling many elegant residential properties.
Felberbaum states that he plans to open three additional offices in South Palm Beach County within the next 12 to 18 months, citing the high demand for U.S. properties among Engel & Völkers' global network.
"As a homeowner and an attorney practicing real estate law in this area for several years, I reached out to my research team and we feel that Delray Beach and Boca Raton are in the midst of a surge in development and increased real estate activities that will only become more substantial and exciting through the coming years. We feel these areas are very well suited to welcome the Engel & Völkers brand as a very serious real estate brokerage offering the very highest level of service to these communities."
