Shirley Gary has left Engel & Völkers and moved to Ansley Christie’s International Real Estate, bringing more than 25 agents with her. 

Gary, the now-former owner and CEO of Engel & Völkers Buckhead Atlanta and Atlanta North Fulton, consistently ranks among the top tier of real estate agents in the country. She was No. 1 in the Engel & Völkers Americas network for closed transactions in the last nine years, and for eight of those years, she was No. 1 across the brand’s entire global network, according to an announcement. She’s also been a top-producing agent in Georgia, ranking No. 1 in the state for transactions and sales volume in 2022, according to RealTrends. 

Gary cited Ansley Christie’s International’s “strong local leadership; a national and international network for relocation and referrals; a superior recognized brand; luxury marketing programs and partnerships; and a great company culture” in her decision to make the move. 

“I wanted to find the best place for me and my colleagues, and Ansley Christie’s International Real Estate was the only firm in Atlanta that had all these benefits along with an incredible culture,” Gary said. “We’re thrilled with the possibilities to grow our business and provide additional value to our clients.”
