Engel & Völkers Black Hills is a full-service real estate brokerage headquartered in Rapid City with a second location in Spearfish, serving buyers, sellers, and investors across the entire Black Hills region. Established in the Black Hills since 2006, the brokerage is led by Owner and Broker Lori Barnett and brings together approximately 30 advisors with deep local knowledge and the backing of one of the world’s leading luxury real estate networks.
Founded in Hamburg, Germany in 1977, Engel & Völkers operates in more than 30 countries and is recognized globally for its standards in luxury residential and commercial real estate. In the Black Hills, that global platform translates into real advantages for clients: broader marketing reach, a qualified referral network, and a brand that is recognized by buyers coming from larger markets.
Lori Barnett has 16 years of Black Hills real estate experience, including more than a decade as a brokerage owner. The firm’s capabilities span luxury residential, commercial investment properties, land, new construction, and complex deal structures. Barnett is currently pursuing her CCIM designation, the gold standard in commercial investment real estate.
“We are proud to serve the people who have called the Black Hills home for decades alongside those who are discovering it for the first time. This community is our community,” says Lori Barnett, Owner and Broker.
Beyond the transaction, Engel & Völkers Black Hills is deeply invested in the community it serves. Advisors serve on numerous boards, committees, and non-profits throughout the Black Hills because they believe that showing up for this community is not separate from the work. It is the work.
Broker and Owner Lori Barnett has served for over a decade on the board of directors for Working Against Violence, Inc. (WAVI) and is the founder of Black Hills Women in Power, a monthly event series connecting accomplished women leaders with student athletes at the South Dakota School of Mines. Real estate is a relationship business, and relationships are built by people who are genuinely present in the places they serve.
Whether you are buying your first Black Hills property, selling a generational asset, or evaluating a commercial investment opportunity, Engel & Völkers Black Hills brings the expertise, the network, and the local depth to get it done.
