Owner/Broker
After purchasing the franchise rights to Jacksonville, Florida in late 2017, Corey Hasting opened his first Engel & Völkers shop in Jacksonville Beach on April 30, 2018. Since then, he has expanded the brand's presence across Northeast Florida, launching six shops located in Amelia Island, Jacksonville Beach, Ponte Vedra Beach, St. Johns, San Marco, and Neptune Beach.
Under Corey’s leadership, Engel & Völkers First Coast has become a regional powerhouse, earning numerous accolades both locally and nationally. In 2024, Corey and his team were honored with the prestigious Engel & Völkers Americas Cup, being named “Shop of the Year”—a historic achievement as the first Florida shop ever to receive this distinction. That same year, RealTrends ranked E&V First Coast #314 in sales volume out of more than 88,000 brokerages nationwide.
Corey has also earned several individual honors, including being named to the Jacksonville Business Journal’s 40 Under 40 Class of 2020, and its Ultimate CEO Class of 2022. His brokerage has been recognized as one of the Fastest 50 Growing Companies in Northeast Florida in four of the last five years, finishing #1 in 2023—the only real estate brokerage in the region to achieve this milestone. Within the Engel & Völkers Americas network, his shop has become the most award-winning brokerage in all of Florida, earning top honors in GCI Sold, Transactions Closed, and Recruiting Performance.
Originally from Ohio, Corey relocated to Jacksonville in 2013, drawn by the area’s mild winters, vibrant growth, and year-round golf. A graduate of Ohio University with a B.A. in Business, Corey was a three-year starter at Linebacker for the Bobcats football team and later trained with the Cincinnati Bengals and Miami Dolphins. His background in athletics has shaped his leadership style, instilling discipline, teamwork, and a relentless drive to succeed. These qualities have helped him build a high-performing brokerage by recruiting top talent and fostering a culture of excellence.
