With more than 135 years of real estate excellence, Harcourts has evolved from its origins in 1888, when founder John Bateman Harcourt transitioned his Wellington-based soft-goods business into a dedicated property services firm, into one of the world’s most respected real estate brands. Today, Harcourts operates across 11 countries, including Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, the United States, Canada, China, Indonesia, Fiji, Hong Kong and Mexico, supported by a global network of over 900 offices and more than 10,000 real estate professionals. Built on a foundation of integrity, innovation and deep market knowledge, the brand has grown through strong leadership, strategic franchise expansion and a consistent focus on delivering exceptional client outcomes. In Australia, Harcourts has established itself as one of the country’s leading real estate networks since entering the market in 1997, earning a reputation for industry leadership and trusted client relationships. The company offers a comprehensive range of services across residential, commercial and rural sales, as well as property management, supported by market-leading technology, extensive training programs and the strength of its unified global platform. Harcourts’ culture is underpinned by strong core values—putting people first, doing the right thing, being courageous, and fostering a positive and collaborative environment. Through initiatives such as The Harcourts Foundation, the organisation continues to give back to local communities while maintaining its commitment to delivering world-class real estate experiences.
