Engel & Völkers Marathon Celebrates Grand Opening

Engel & Völkers Marathon debuts in the Florida Keys with an unforgettable evening of elegance and community connection.

Marathon, Fla. - December 20, 2024 - Engel & Völkers Florida today announced the grand opening of its newest franchise location in Marathon, expanding the brand’s presence into the heart of the Florida Keys. Held at 1477 Overseas Highway, the elegant event welcomed over 200 guests, including members of the Greater Marathon Chamber of Commerce and local business leaders. The evening’s sophisticated “White Party” theme featured live jazz music, sushi boats, and premium beverages, creating a refined atmosphere where attendees mingled under the stars to mark the launch of Engel & Völkers Marathon.

“This grand opening represents a pivotal step for Engel & Völkers in the Florida Keys," said Stephany Duvall, License Partner. “Marathon is a truly special place, and we’re excited to offer bespoke real estate services that reflect the charm and luxury of our surroundings. Our new shop is positioned to connect residents and newcomers alike with opportunities in this exceptional market.”

The Marathon shop opening builds on the momentum Duvall has created since partnering with Engel & Völkers Florida earlier this year. In March 2024, she acquired Engel & Völkers Islamorada from former franchisee John Gallant, relocating the shop to a prime location to enhance visibility and client accessibility. This strategic move set the stage for Engel & Völkers’ growth throughout the Florida Keys. Following the successful launch of Engel & Völkers Marathon, Duvall has her sights set on opening a third location in Key West by 2026, further solidifying the brand’s presence across the region.

“Stephany is delivering on the vision we’ve long held for the Florida Keys,” said Peter Giese, CEO of Engel & Völkers Florida. “She has taken an elevated approach to real estate in this distinctive market, from enhancing the Islamorada shop to opening the Marathon location and already planning an expansion into Key West. The Florida Keys are known for their laid-back lifestyle, but Stephany’s commitment to providing world-class service and modernizing the client experience aligns perfectly with Engel & Völkers’ brand ethos. Her leadership is setting a new standard for how real estate is conducted in the region, and we are thrilled to see her continued success.”

Since opening earlier this summer, Engel & Völkers Marathon has represented nearly $9 million in closed sales, contributing to the $20 million total for the shop group. Under Duvall’s leadership, the brokerage is projected to double that figure within the next year. Duvall, recently named Realtor of the Year by the Marathon & Lower Keys Association of REALTORS®, has already recruited top-producing groups like ‘Gables on the Go Team’ and acquired Seafarer Realty, formerly owned by Alexia Mann.
