No Boundaries: Strategic Growth Leads Engel & Völkers From Overseas to Land id

Engel & Völkers launched in Germany in the late 1970s, but it's a relatively young brand by real estate standards. It didn't cross borders until 1990, and didn't reach the United States until 2013.

In that time, it's become one of the most recognized names in the business—known partly for hanging shingles in architecturally distinctive spaces. Smart positioning for a company that helps people find great places to be. And sometimes, that starts with land.

Land, Ranch & Property Data

When Engel & Völkers needed technology to support due diligence and marketing for its land and ranch division, it turned to Land id.

Engel & Völkers Land and Ranch Group is a global network of experienced category advisors who market and broker working, residential, and recreational ranches and acreage. And now, its agents have access to Land id’s wide range of mapping and geospatial visualizations to support those efforts.

The company’s use of Land id will help agents in a range of use cases. One broker may use Land id for due diligence to understand flood risk for a pending resort project. Another will use it to quickly create a custom map for a client to confirm their fence line isn’t impeding a neighbor’s barn expansion. A third will use it to find ownership details of an oddly shaped plot on the outskirts of a client’s newly acquired trout camp.  

Beyond Land

Our partnership extends beyond the Land and Ranch division. Land id's broad functionality and property intelligence will also be available to agents in the company's traditional residential markets. Single-family and commercial agents can use it to identify relocation trends, uncover land potential and risks, tax and mortgage histories, and build compelling marketing assets for listing presentations or CMAs.  

Engel & Völkers’ adoption of Land id reflects the company’s growth. Deliberate. Careful. And clearly successful. This isn’t a real estate brokerage that chases trends or volume. It’s a savvy, consultative operation built to serve land investors, recreationalists, developers, farmers, and those who depend on land to live and work. They don’t work with cookie-cutter transactions, so they can’t rely on ordinary, outdated data sources.

Land id’s always-on land analysis tools are a natural fit for Engel & Völkers, and its ever-growing list of smart business decisions.
