My History with Engel & Völkers Minneapolis

An Important Chapter in My Real Estate Career

Before returning to Keller Williams, I was affiliated with Engel & Völkers Minneapolis, where I served buyers and sellers throughout the Twin Cities and built an important part of my professional experience.

Engel & Völkers is internationally recognized for its luxury real estate brand, global network and high-touch approach to client service. My years there strengthened my experience in luxury marketing, presentation, relationship-based service and serving clients who expect a high level of professionalism.

Today, my real estate license is affiliated with Keller Williams Premier Realty North Suburban, and I continue to operate my independent personal brand, Call Sarah First, Inc.

Recognition I Earned While at Engel & Völkers

I am proud of the recognition I earned during my time with Engel & Völkers Minneapolis, including:

• 2023 Engel & Völkers Minneapolis Top Five Advisor

• 2024 Engel & Völkers Minneapolis Top Five Advisor

• Engel & Völkers Diamond Elite national recognition

• Additional production and professional recognition earned during my affiliation

Those awards remain part of my professional history and reflect the work I completed while serving clients through Engel & Völkers.

What I Carried Forward

Brokerages can change. The way I believe clients should be treated has remained consistent.

My time with Engel & Völkers reinforced several principles that are still central to how I work today:

• Strong presentation matters

• Details matter

• Relationships matter

• Marketing should fit the property and the client

• Luxury service should not be limited to a particular price point

• Clients deserve thoughtful advice, not a one-size-fits-all sales process

That last point has become an especially important part of my own philosophy.

To me, luxury is not simply a price point. Luxury is having a home and lifestyle that fit the life you want to live.

That may be a high-end property, a lake home, acreage for horses, a maintenance-free condo, a one-level home that makes everyday life easier or a modest home in exactly the right location.

From Engel & Völkers Back to Keller Williams

My current brokerage affiliation is Keller Williams Premier Realty North Suburban in Vadnais Heights, Minnesota.

Returning to Keller Williams gave me the opportunity to combine the systems, technology, professional network and local resources of Keller Williams with the personal business and client experience I have built throughout my career.

Call Sarah First remains my personal brand and the consistent thread connecting the different chapters of my real estate career.

The Experience Stays With You

Every stage of a career adds something.

My Engel & Völkers years gave me valuable experience with luxury branding, sophisticated marketing and a global real estate network. My Keller Williams experience brings another strong professional network, technology platform and collaborative environment.

But ultimately, clients hire me.

They hire my experience, judgment, communication, market knowledge, negotiation skills and commitment to helping them make good decisions.

If you originally found me through Engel & Völkers Minneapolis, I am still here — now serving clients through Keller Williams Premier Realty North Suburban.
