Shirley Gary, owner and CEO of Engel & Völkers Buckhead Atlanta and Engel & Völkers Atlanta North Fulton, has been named Number One Agent Worldwide for Number of Sales and Number Three Real Estate Agent Worldwide for Net Commissions for 2020 within the Engel & Völkers Global Network. This is the sixth year in a row Gary has been honored internationally, ranking above more than 12,800 real estate professionals who represent the Engel & Völkers brand in over 33 countries.

“As a brand known worldwide for being home to some of the industry’s finest talent, it is no small feat for our advisors to be named not only as top professionals in the Americas, but across the globe,” said Anthony Hitt, President and CEO, Engel & Völkers Americas.

Gary’s two brokerages have also won national acclaim.  Real Trends has released its 2021 RealTrends 500, an independently verified compilation of the nation’s leading residential real estate companies, and ranked Engel & Völkers Buckhead Atlanta and Atlanta North Fulton rank second in the Engel & Völkers Americas network, and among the top 1.5 percent of all brokerage firms in the country.

“While it is extremely rewarding to receive these prestigious, national accolades, none of this would be possible without the outstanding team of associates who make up Engel & Völkers Buckhead Atlanta and Engel & Völkers Atlanta North Fulton,” said Gary.  “Their professionalism, market knowledge and commitment to their clients are what set us apart locally and nationally.”

Gary has worked in real estate and new construction sales management throughout metro Atlanta for over 30 years. She opened her own firm, About Sales Inc., in 2007 at the downturn of the market, but despite the economy, grew the company to almost $4 million in annual gross revenues in just six years. In 2013, About Sales Inc. became Engel & Völkers Buckhead Atlanta, one of the global brand’s first Atlanta locations, and Gary opened her second shop, Engel & Völkers Atlanta North Fulton, in Alpharetta in 2018.  In that same year, Gary was honored internationally by Engel & Völkers as the highest ranked real estate advisor for selling the greatest number of homes annually worldwide. www.buckheadatlanta.evrealestate.com, www.atlantanorthfulton.evrealestate.com
