NAPLES, Fla. - September 29, 2025 - Engel & Völkers Florida today announced that Rich Bowden has joined Engel & Völkers Naples from Premier Sotheby’s International Realty. Bowden closed more than $52 million in sales in the past year alone and has advised numerous private clients, property developers and private equity investment funds in a vast number of sales and transactions over a 36 year across Europe and North America. His addition reinforces Engel & Völkers Naples’ position in the region’s competitive luxury market.
“After decades of running my own businesses and working in real estate markets around the world, I was very intentional about my next move,” said Bowden. “Engel & Völkers offers the perfect balance of global reach, premium marketing and a culture of professionalism that aligns with how I’ve always served my clients. At this stage in my career, affiliating with a brand that values both international perspective and local expertise allows me to focus fully on what I do best—delivering exceptional results for buyers and sellers in southwest Florida.”
Bowden holds a Bachelor of Arts with honors in English language and literature from University College London, ranked among the top 10 universities worldwide. He began his career at Anthony Gover Estates in London, where he rose from intern to team leader in just two years, before founding Bowden Property Services, which expanded to three offices handling residential sales and leasing. He later served as CEO of Southwest Management, a property development firm specializing in sourcing and renovating investment properties for sale and rental. After relocating to Naples in 2004, Bowden became chief investment officer of Bowden, LLC, a family office real estate and financial investment fund, where for 19 years he managed a diverse portfolio of residential real estate, equities, derivatives, fixed income and mortgage contracts.
“Rich brings unparalleled focus, work ethic, and client dedication to Engel & Völkers Naples,” said Victoria Stultz, License Partner of Engel & Völkers Naples. “His ability to deliver exceptional results while maintaining the highest level of professionalism sets him apart in this competitive market.”
Today, Bowden brings nearly four decades of global real estate and investment experience to Engel & Völkers Naples, where he serves buyers and sellers across Southwest Florida with sharp market insight, skillful negotiations and concierge-level service. He already has four pending sales, five active listings, and four pre-list transactions since joining Engel & Völkers Naples, underscoring the momentum he brings to the brokerage.
“Rich is an ideal cultural fit for Engel & Völkers, bringing both an international perspective and a proven record of production that aligns seamlessly with our truly connected global brand,” said Peter Giese, CEO of Engel & Völkers Florida. “We continue to see many top professionals choose Engel & Völkers for the same reasons: the opportunity to serve clients locally while being part of a worldwide network. I also want to commend Victoria and her team in Naples for their ongoing success in attracting exceptional talent like Rich to the brokerage.”
