Engel & Völkers operates in 30 countries on 4 continents, with a workforce of approximately 11,000 people across 800 luxury real estate brokerages and 49 commercial offices brokering retail, office and industrial space, investment properties, multi-purpose apartment and office blocks and property portfolios offer both private and institutional clients.[7][8][9] The company's headquarters is situated in Hamburg, Germany and regional headquarters are located in New York City and Hong Kong.[10]

The Engel & Völkers Private Office specialises in serving private clients. From its headquarters in London, it provides personal support for clients interested in buying or selling luxury property worldwide.[11]

In recent years, the company has expanded into the world of yachting.[12]

In 2013, the company established the first of their in-house brand of Metropolitan Market Centers in Barcelona, Spain. The licence for an MMC covers the entire geographical region of a metropolis, resulting in a larger transaction volume than a traditional Engel & Völkers office.[13]
