A word from our Internship Director Marina Cabeza

"As the Internship Director at Engel & Völkers Gestalt Group, I have had the pleasure of watching interns grow both professionally and personally throughout their time with us. The hands-on experience they gain in the luxury real estate market, combined with the opportunity to immerse themselves in U.S. culture, truly sets this internship apart. Our interns become a vital part of our team, contributing their ideas and talents while learning invaluable skills that will serve them for years to come. It's incredibly rewarding to see them thrive and succeed, and we’re always excited to welcome passionate, driven individuals ready to take the next step in their careers."
Marina Cabeza, Intern Director

Testimonials

Nina, former intern.

Nina Schlaepfer (Switzerland) Intern in Dana Point, CA

“My internship has been an amazing experience. From day one, I felt welcomed and truly part of the team, which made coming to work something I genuinely looked forward to. I had the chance to dive deeper into the areas that interested me most and focus on improving my skills. The more I wanted to learn, the stronger my relationships with the agents became, which made my experience even better and opened up incredible opportunities for me. I’ve never had a job where I was this excited to come in every day.”

Valentina Rosa, former intern.

Valentina Rosa (Italy) Intern in Scottsdale, AZ

“I honestly can't say enough good things about my experience at Engel & Völkers. My one-year internship started with my wish to learn about marketing in an English-speaking country as much as possible. From my first time at the office, I was treated as one of the team. The Advisors allowed me to experience Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Eve with them and their families, opening the doors of their homes. I learned about their culture, great marketing strategies, web design, and communication in a professional environment. They all made me feel like being with my family, with a great interest in my country of origin. They always showed great respect for my daily work, which is awesome and rare!”

“My time in Seattle was amazing, thanks to the incredible people and the city’s perfect mix of a dynamic, world-class environment and a strong connection to nature and local traditions. The outdoor culture and welcoming vibe made it easy to feel at home.
At Engel & Völkers, I learned so much about the ‘American way of doing business.’ This experience taught me valuable lessons in discipline, organization, attention to detail, and the importance of image, a foundation I’ll carry into my future projects.”

  • "Since the first day, I’ve felt very welcome. They want you to have the best experience possible and gain as much knowledge as you can for your professional life. If I had to highlight something about this internship, it would be the training sessions (so helpful and necessary) and the monthly intern meetings (great opportunity to meet other interns and hear about their experiences).”

    Natalia Mesa (Colombia) Intern in St. Helena (CA)

  • A six-month internship in Marketing at Engel & Völkers was a great experience! Working with the EV team felt like a family. I never felt lost or stuck because I could rely on the marketing team for help. As an intern, I never felt like I was just a sidekick, but an equal and important part like the rest of the team! With the trust of my marketing manager and the team, I proposed a new social media strategy: the opportunity to start a personal project with EV and see the results is something that made my experience really special. I am very grateful to have worked for Engel & Völkers!
