Engel & Völkers launches Pompano Beach location in Florida

Engel & Völkers Expands Luxury Real Estate Services to Pompano Beach with Francisco Garcia and Marie Gonneville

POMPANO BEACH, Fla., June 18, 2024 – Engel & Völkers Florida is further expanding its footprint in South Florida with the launch of a new location, Engel & Völkers Pompano Beach. This marks the brand’s latest move to capitalize on the region's growing luxury real estate market. Leading this venture are franchisees Francisco Garcia, owner of Engel & Völkers Fort Lauderdale, and Marie Gonneville from Engel & Völkers Montréal.

The new office will be located in Suite 105 at 2401 East Atlantic Boulevard, with a grand opening event planned upon completion of the buildout. Garcia and Gonneville’s partnership brings a wealth of expertise to the Pompano Beach market, promising a high level of service and an exceptional real estate experience.

Marie Gonneville, a 15-year real estate veteran, previously worked as a commercial and residential broker at Engel & Völkers Montréal. Her background also includes working with prestigious luxury brands like LVMH (Louis Vuitton – Moët Hennessy). Gonneville is an active member of the Quebec Real Estate Brokerage Self-Regulatory Organization and the Quebec Real Estate Board. She is eager to bring her international perspective and management expertise to her new role.

“Joining Engel & Völkers Pompano Beach presents an exciting opportunity to combine my global experience in luxury brands, real estate, and management,” said Gonneville. “I’m passionate about bringing a sophisticated and international perspective to the Pompano Beach market. Together, we aim to redefine the luxury real estate experience with our collective expertise, providing unparalleled service and insights to our clients.”

Francisco Garcia, who owns two Engel & Völkers franchises in Fort Lauderdale, is a prominent figure in the region's real estate scene. His existing offices include Engel & Völkers Fort Lauderdale and a satellite location at The Ocean Resort Residences at the Conrad Fort Lauderdale Beach. Garcia also leads Garcia Signature Properties Group with his wife, Niliana Nassar-Garcia, a 13-member team that specializes in new construction projects. Before his success in real estate, Garcia spent 30 years owning 27 nightclubs and bars.

“I’ve successfully attracted great agents to Engel & Völkers Fort Lauderdale, propelling our brokerage to new heights,” said Garcia. “Opening my third location in Pompano Beach will strengthen our brand’s credibility, increase market share, and expand our presence in southeast Florida. I’m excited to welcome ambitious individuals looking for success at both locations.”

Pompano Beach, known as "South Florida’s next frontier for high-end residential living," has experienced rapid growth, with home values rising by 27% in the past year. As the area continues to attract attention with high-end projects like Salato Residences, The Ritz-Carlton Residences, and Waldorf Astoria Residences, Engel & Völkers is poised to lead the market at premium price points.

“Frank has been one of our most entrepreneurial owners since joining the brand,” said Peter Giese, CEO of Engel & Völkers Florida. “His success in Fort Lauderdale has been remarkable, and we’re thrilled to see him bring that same energy and expertise to Pompano Beach with Marie. Together, their complementary skills will offer a fresh and dynamic approach to luxury real estate in this growing market.”

With a team that speaks English, French, and Spanish, Engel & Völkers Pompano Beach is positioned to thrive in the multicultural landscape of southeast Florida.
