Clubs to Hire, the market leading golf club rental provider, has formed an exclusive partnership with Engel & Völkers, a globally recognised real estate brand specialising in luxury properties.
Both firms will work together to provide the traveling golfer a first-class service when exploring the property market in the area they are visiting.
Tony Judge, CEO of Clubs to Hire, said “We are excited to be working with one of the world’s most regarded and reputable real estate firms. Having previously worked in property for many years I fully understand what the customer is looking for and we intend to bring that experience and service to our 54,000 members. I meet hundreds of our clients every year and very often the conversation leads onto property and what is happening within the local markets in which we operate.”
The Algarve is a hotbed for golf and for tourism; it’s easy to see why in recent years thousands of people from all over Europe and far beyond have chosen to purchase a holiday home or primary residence in this part of the world. Clubs to Hire is based in Portugal which makes it the perfect location from which to launch the property partnership with E&V.
Vasco Fernandes, CEO of Engel & Völkers, Quinta Do Lago and Vale Do Lobo, said: “We are thrilled to embark on this exciting venture with such a well-known company within the golfing industry. Clubs To Hire have grown their business exponentially over the past 14 years, largely due the great reputation they have earned for providing excellent service to thousands of clients, in the Algarve region and elsewhere.
“We recognise the natural synergies that exist between our two companies and know that golfers and individuals alike tend to gravitate towards people they know and trust therefore we’re committed to building on the relationships already established by introducing our trusted, professional, multilingual team of real estate consultants.”
Fernandes added: “Our experienced and diverse team spans from all over the world including Ireland, England, Germany, Sweden, Brazil and of course, Portugal. We have consultants who speak English (as a first language), German, French, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Swedish and Portuguese. We always ensure clients are given clear information and sound guidance to assist them in finding their dream home in this magical part of Europe.”
Engel & Völkers has over 1,000 offices spread across the world, including two in Ireland and offer a vast portfolio of properties, from one-bedroom apartments to sprawling villas in prime locations with golf and sea views.
Clubs to Hire handles more than 40,000 bookings a year for rental clubs at 30 locations worldwide, including the popular golfing regions in Portugal, Spain, Turkey, Ireland, UK, Dubai, South Africa and five countries across the Mediterranean.
