For the second consecutive year, Shirley Gary, owner and CEO of Engel & Völkers Buckhead Atlanta and Engel & Völkers Atlanta North Fulton, has earned the Number One Ranking nationwide for both Individual Sides and Individual Sales Volume in the “Top Producers List” just published by the LGBTQ+ Real Estate Alliance.  The list ranks both individual agents and teams across North America.  The exclusive list of over 200 agents and teams was created with RealTrends as the industry’s only recognition of top producing LGBTQ+ agents and Ally members.

“Engel & Völkers is proud of our inclusive culture that not only attracts some of the finest real estate professionals but also attracts clients who understand and find comfort in the values of our brand,” said Anthony Hitt, president and CEO of Engel & Völkers Americas. “It’s because of the caliber of our advisors and organizations such as the LGBTQ+ Real Estate Alliance that homeownership becomes a reality to more and more individuals every day.”

“Members of the LGBTQ+ community can face a variety of hurdles when they enter the home buying and selling journey that go beyond the traditional stress associated with such moves,” said Gary, a long-time LGBTQ+ ally.  “Discrimination and concerns about community and neighborhood acceptance are at the top of that list.  That’s why it’s so important to welcome LBGTQ+ real estate agents into our profession and to encourage everyone to serve as an ally to this community.  I am honored to again be featured on the LGBTQ+ Real Estate Alliance Top Producers List, which demonstrates to all prospective home buyers and sellers that our members are here to assist them.” 

"Shirley’s consecutive top honors with the LGBTQ+ Real Estate Alliance is a reflection of the amazing culture and highly successful group of real estate advisors we attract to our Buckhead Atlanta and Atlanta North Fulton shops," said Kelly Stephens, managing broker of Engel & Völkers Buckhead Atlanta and Engel & Völkers Atlanta North Fulton.  "Our team is proud that Engel & Völkers strives to end discrimination of all types for our clients and real estate advisors across the globe."
