There is something special about living in Jupiter, and if anybody understand that, it is Ken and Kandyce Meierling. The license partners and brokers of luxury real estate firm Engel & Völkers Jupiter have lived around the world —from Germany and England to Belize and Hong Kong, but they couldn’t imagine a better slice of paradise than Jupiter.

Since opening their doors in 1977 as a specialty boutique providing exclusive, high-end real estate services in Hamburg, Germany, Engel & Völkers has become one of the world’s leading companies specializing in the sale and letting of premium residential and commercial property, yachts, and private aviation. Engel & Völkers currently operates a global network of over 11,000 real estate professionals in more than 33 countries.

As a former investment banker and advisor to multinational corporations on mergers and acquisitions, Ken Meierling spent many years living and working overseas. “I regularly encountered Engel & Völkers property shops on my travels. The ability to successfully represent clients on an international stage was one of the motivating factors to launch such a strong global brand in Jupiter” Ken says.

“Our people and network make us different,” Kandyce explains. “Every individual at Engel & Völkers is driven by a culture of leadership. This is why we don’t simply have agents, but rather trusted advisors to guide clients through their home journey. With an Engel & Völkers Advisor, homeowners will be better positioned to benefit from the current international real estate market where a potential buyer could be in Jupiter, the Northeast or come from a neighborhood half a world away.”

While Ken is a numbers person and loves the “deal-making”, to Kandyce, real estate is more than assisting in buying a home. “It’s a lifestyle! We go beyond the transaction of properties. We are about helping our clients discover their new home and the new life that awaits them! Luxury is more than an object or property, but rather, the fullness of life that begins and ends the day in the most important space we know: home.”
