Welcome back to another episode of the Real Estate Excellence Podcast! Today, I have Corey Hasting on the podcast. After purchasing the franchise rights to Jacksonville, Florida in late 2017, Corey Hasting opened his first Engel & Völkers shop in Jacksonville Beach on April 30, 2018. Since then, Corey has opened 3 additional shops located in Amelia Island, the Beaches Town Center, and St. Johns Florida. Since opening Corey has recruited over 80 top producing advisors who should sell more than $700,000,000 in volume and over 1500 transactions in 2021. Corey has been awarded countless awards since opening the Jacksonville franchise including being a member of the class of 2020 for the prestigious 40 under 40 list by the Jacksonville Business Journal and in 2021, Engel & Völkers Jacksonville, under Corey’s leadership was awarded the 12th fastest growing company in Northeast Florida and the #1 fastest growing Real Estate brokerage by the Jacksonville Business Journal. Engel & Völkers Jacksonville has finished top 10 in the Engel & Völkers America’s network for most closed transactions in both 2019 and 2020 and has been awarded over 13 Engel & Völkers Florida awards since opening, making them the most awarded Florida franchise in company history.
