From a young age, Beau has consistently had a strong desire for success and possessed the drive to go above and beyond to make his goals a reality.

After years of dedication to sharpening his sales and team building skills, Beau finally opened his first brokerage in 2018 at the age of 27, and has since cleared nearly a billion dollars in personal sales volume since the start of his career. His brokerage, which grew from 4 advisors in 2018 to more than 70 in 2021, has cleared more than $608 million year-to-date. With grit, determination, and a shrewd sense for business and real estate investing; Beau grew his brokerage sales from $235 million in 2019 and to approaching a billion in sales in 2021. Beau was able to do this within the span of 3 years. Beau continues to lead the markets at #1 in GCI and volume for Engel & Voelkers, #1 in the 30a market for personal sales, #1 of year growth in the Engel & Voelkers network, and Real Trends The Thousand 2020 #36th in the country and #71 in 2019.   From his football career with the Jaguars to his powerhouse success with his Engel & Volkers brokerage, Beau has managed to defy the odds and proven time after time again that anything is possible. Beau’s unique ability to adapt to an ever-changing market and streamline the buying and selling process make him a force to be reckoned with in the 30A area.   To find out more and to connect with Beau, go to: https://beaublankenship.evrealestate.com/ https://m.facebook.com/beau.blankenship.9 https://www.instagram.com/beaublank/?hl=en beau.blankenship@evusa.com
