After making its debut last month, Engel & Völkers Scottsdale, Sandra Wilken Partners has nearly doubled the size of the firm in a matter of four weeks, attracting an additional 12 sales advisors to join the existing team of 17.

Interest from local Realtors and brokers began to flood in after luxury real estate veteran Sandra Wilken announced that she was the first Engel & Völkers license partner in Arizona and was converting her 18-year, Scottsdale-based company to Engel & Völkers Scottsdale, Sandra Wilken Partners.

“I’ve been overwhelmed and, quite honestly, pleasantly shocked by the response from the local real estate community since the announcement,” said Sandra Wilken. “Top realtors from around the Valley have been reaching out to us inquiring about how they can join our team. We have expanded with 12 new advisors, bringing our team to 29. With growth comes more listings, more clients, more transactions and more market presence. We’re also already seeing a significant boost in business from the Engel & Völkers international network of potential buyers from all around the globe. It’s exciting.”

Additionally, the firm has launched a new division that specializes in high-end, master-planned communities as well as luxury condominium developments throughout the Valley. New hires Babbi Gabel, Angela Phillips and Mary Grassl will lead the division and have longstanding reputations for being among the best in high-rise sales and have been recognized for their success at The Scottsdale Waterfront Residences and Safari Drive.

“With condominium and master-planned developments returning to the market, I wanted to bring in the expertise of agents like Babbi, Angela and Mary to allow us to expand our services to this area of real estate sales,” said Wilken. “Their recent success is a fantastic complement to my 20 years of development experience managing sales for Gainey Ranch and The Phoenician.”

Last month Engel & Völkers, the international premium real estate firm, announced the opening of its first Scottsdale shop and entrance into the Arizona real estate market, breaking new ground as the luxury brand continues to expand throughout the U.S. and around the world.
