## Story

ORLANDO, FLA. (PRWEB) August 04, 2021 - Engel & Völkers Florida today announced Florence Zimmerman is the latest in a slew of realtors to join Engel & Völkers Orlando as a real estate advisor.

“With Engel & Völkers I saw the opportunity to become part of a global brand with a network that lives and breathes exceptional client service,” said Zimmerman. “Being part of such a collaborative team on a local and international level, in addition to its fresh approach to marketing, is a great opportunity for me to enhance my current offerings in an effort to best support my clients.”

Zimmerman comes to Engel & Völkers Orlando from eXp Realty, where she specialized in first-time homebuyers and relocation. Over the last four years, she has closed more than $10,000,000 in transactions. Originally from California, she first entered real estate at her family's Keller Williams brokerage in the San Francisco Bay area, where they were top producers.

Prior to joining the real estate industry, she was formally educated in accounting at the University of Arizona where she earned both a Bachelors and Masters degree. After college, she worked for Ernst & Young Global Limited, one of the largest multinational professional services networks in the world.

“A second-generation realtor, Florence has a proven track record for her market expertise and will further strengthen our growing shop’s team,” said Ahmed Elbatrawy, License Partner of Engel & Völkers Orlando. “She contacted us to discuss joining Engel & Völkers to help her achieve ambitious business goals which include tripling her production.”

Elbatrawy secured the franchise rights to Engel & Völkers Orlando in March of this year. He and Managing Broker, Eric Bolves have already recruited 28 talented local agents totaling more than $30 million in annual production. The new shop, which is located at 2049 W Central Blvd, is slated to host an official grand opening event this winter.
