Engel & Völkers is expanding its New England footprint with the addition of one new shop in the Greater Newburyport area, the company announced on Tuesday.
Karen Hanson, who opened another Engel & Völkers shop in Cape Ann, Massachusetts five years ago, will lead this new office. It will be her third Engel & Völkers shop, according to the press release.
“Newburyport is a thriving community with a unique blend of historic charm and modern amenities,” Hanson, license partner of Engel & Völkers By the Sea, said. “Through our expertise and community-driven approach to business as well as our brand’s global recognition, we will continue to attract diverse clientele with elevated marketing strategies that will revolutionize property promotion in the area.”
The new Engel & Völkers Newburyport shop, located downtown, will serve Newburyport, Newbury, West Newbury, Amesbury, Ipswich, southern New Hampshire and the New Hampshire seacoast.
“We are eager to bring our global luxury real estate expertise to this captivating region, offering clients a new standard of excellence in real estate services,” Anthony Hitt, president and CEO of Engel & Völkers Americas, said in a statement.
