Harcourts Network

Most people feel comfortable dealing with a company that has been around for a long time. However some businesses tend to dwell too much on their past achievements and place too little emphasis on what they can offer their clients today and tomorrow.

Whilst the proud legacy of Harcourts goes back to humble beginnings in 1888, now as the fastest-growing real estate group in Australasia our total focus is not only firmly on the present, but also on the future. We are constantly asking how we can improve our systems, how we can offer our clients even higher levels of personal and professional service, and how we can train and equip our people to achieve the best possible results.

That's what clearly sets Harcourts apart in the real estate industry. It's why we continue to consistently sell more property than any real estate group year after year, why Harcourts has gained the highest levels of awareness and preference of any New Zealand real estate group, and why most of our clients want to work with us again.

Today we have more than 1,500 highly skilled residential, commercial, investment, business, rural and lifestyle property consultants working in more than 200 offices throughout Australasia. Our local and national information database is extensive and instantly accessible. Our website receives thousands of visitors every single day. Plus our unique high quality Bluebook is one of the most widely read property magazines.

The Harcourts Promise

Through extensive research, we know what our clients want most from Harcourts and their chosen property consultant - the promise of enjoying an exceptional level of personal and professional service. And because clear communication is the key to identifying your individual needs and expectations, you won't just have our word on it - you'll have our guarantee in writing

The Harcourts Promise is your absolute assurance of just how seriously we take our responsibilities on your behalf. It's our way of being held accountable, and your way of knowing you will be looked after every single step of the way. Consider it our total commitment to working together to make the whole experience easier, less stressful and far more rewarding. And that's a promise!

Following initial consultation and property inspection, we will present a written marketing strategy and calendar specifically tailored for you, your home, and the current market conditions. And because you'll be eager to receive feedback and gauge progress, regular marketing reports plus formal review meetings will allow plenty of opportunity to assess market reaction, address any price-relevant issues, identify the "hottest prospects" from our extensive client database, and make ongoing recommendations to maximise the effectiveness of our targeted marketing programmes.

It's all about people.

Successfully buying and selling real estate is mostly about fulfilling people's needs, dreams and aspirations. That's why Harcourts people not only receive in-depth professional training, which has become recognised as the benchmark for the entire industry, but they are committed to building meaningful and genuine relationships with their clients. And the huge volume of referrals and repeat business that generates is proof that this combination works to everyone's satisfaction. A totally consultative approach is what makes the Harcourts way of doing things so seamless. Trust, honesty and integrity remain the company's personal hallmarks. Add to those attributes an intimate knowledge of the local market and current property trends, a solid work ethic, plus well-developed negotiation skills, and you have the perfect recipe for success.

Our results speak volumes.

Because Harcourts has invested in the development of cutting-edge systems, our property consultants have a full range of marketing, research and technological tools available to them at all times. Working within a tightly knit and highly motivated team environment, the business, customer support and on-line services which they can draw upon are impressive. That's why Harcourts complete more than 30,000 sales contracts valued in excess of $6 billion in Australasia each year.
