With more than 10 years experience selling Manhattan real estate, Senior Vice President BJ Engler has gained both a strong command of the market and a large following of satisfied clients who are grateful for his expertise. Coming from an extensive background in the service industry, it is only natural for BJ to extend his unwavering dedication and attention to his client’s every need, especially when it comes to the major undertaking of buying or selling a home in New York City.
Now a New Yorker of over two decades BJ blends cordial Midwestern charm with sharp city savvy. When a job with the airlines placed him here, he never left…and he is intrigued daily by the diversity of offerings and unique neighborhood niches of Manhattan. Prior to joining Halstead, BJ excelled in the hospitality industry managing two very popular clubs in the city, then owning and operating a thriving restaurant in Chelsea. Yet his penchant for service took him to even greater heights. BJ is now an established Manhattan residential real estate specialist with The Boland Group and prides himself in providing the ultimate service, which for most is the most important purchase of all.
While his primary mission is to place each buyer in a home they love, or achieve the best return on each seller’s property, BJ’s greatest reward comes from the thanks he continually receives for doing an exemplary job. Clients appreciate the patience, dedication, and loyalty he demonstrates throughout the course of their transaction, as they do the thorough research and well-informed guidance he brings to ensure confidence in their decisions.
A member of the Real Estate Board of New York, BJ currently resides in the West Village and enjoys selling properties throughout the borough of Manhattan. BJ is a devoted animal lover. He is a member of the ASPCA and a big supporter of other organizations that cater to protecting our wildlife. He is also a member of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. BJ holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Nebraska.
