Engel & Völkers southern Africa nominated internationally

Every year the Engel & Völkers group headquarters in Hamburg, Germany collates data to determine the winners of the various categories. The awards are based on sales for the period 1 January to 31 December 2013.

For the second year in a row, Theo Volschenk from the Potchefstroom franchise, was nominated and this year he has won the category "Top Agent Unit Sales" - this being due to him achieving the highest number of points in this category internationally.

Ansa du Plooy, also from Potchefstroom, came sixth in the international rankings for the most number of units sold.

Daniël Gouws, a young rookie agent from the Pretoria New East franchise, came 10th in the international rankings also for the most number of units sold.

Well-known personalities

Every year the award function and prize giving is held in Majorca, at the coastline estate owned by Christian Völkers, CEO of Engel & Völkers International. "All three our nominees have been invited to this special event in July where they will be sharing the platform with all the other international winners and nominees, as well as mingling with many well-known personalities," Hutchison continued.

When you consider that these property sales advisors are up against agents from every one of the 38 countries where Engel & Völkers is represented, their achievement is even more remarkable. Their successes are due to their passion, superb training and also to the powerful Engel & Völkers South African database and listing programme. Their marketing tools and sales skills honed at their international training academy certainly assisted them in being able to focus on the client and their needs.

"We know that all our South African Engel & Völkers' property sales advisors are motivated and inspired to attain these achievable goals, and current and future homeowners can be assured of experiencing their professional attention and advice with your next property sale or purchase," Hutchison concluded.
