Highlights from our Global CEO Jawed Barna’s Exclusive Visit to E&V Marbella

We were delighted and honored to welcome our Global CEO, Jawed Barna, to the Engel & Völkers Marbella office last week for an exclusive visit and a series of high-level strategic meetings. Hosted by our Managing Director, Smadar Kahana, this visit was a powerful affirmation of our team’s leading role within the entire global network.

In a network of over 1,000 locations worldwide, we are immensely proud to have been chosen for this singular visit. We see this as a direct recognition of our team’s dedication, our leadership in the luxury market, and our position as the benchmark for real estate excellence in Spain.

A key focus of this visit was our role in pioneering the ambitious “Vision 2026” plan. We are excited to be at the forefront of implementing several group-wide initiatives, including:

• Pioneering Marketing Strategies: Leveraging data and digital innovation to expand our global reach and attract elite clientele.
• Cutting-Edge Innovative Technology: Introducing new AI-powered tools and platforms to enhance our efficiency and client service.
• Leading Sales through Luxury Experience: Growing our exclusive services for UHNW individuals, cementing our position at the top of the luxury market.

The visit was a powerful affirmation for the local team, a point emphasized by Managing Director Smadar Kahana. In her words:

“Having Jawed Barna here in Marbella was a moment of immense pride. His vision for the future has energized our team and confirmed our mission: we are not just part of the future of Engel & Völkers, we are helping to lead it.”

For clients and the wider Spanish property market, the implications of this visit are profound. It signals that Marbella is not just a regional leader but a global benchmark for how luxury real estate should be handled. The knowledge, strategies, and technologies discussed here will ripple outwards, setting new standards for service and success across Spain.
