With more than 135 years of real estate excellence, Harcourts has grown from its origins in 1888—when founder John Bateman Harcourt transformed his Wellington-based soft-goods company into a dedicated property services business—into one of the world’s most respected real estate brands. Today, Harcourts operates across 11 countries, including Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, the USA, Canada, China, Indonesia, Fiji, Hong Kong, and Mexico, supported by a network of more than 900 offices and over 10,000 professionals. Built on a foundation of integrity, innovation, and deep market knowledge, the company has evolved through strategic leadership, franchise expansion, and a commitment to exceptional client service. In Australia, Harcourts has established itself as one of the nation’s top real estate networks, expanding rapidly since entering the market in 1997 and earning a reputation for industry leadership and trusted customer relationships. The company provides a full suite of real estate services—including residential, commercial, rural sales, and property management—supported by market-leading technology, extensive training, and a unified global network. Harcourts’ culture is built on strong values: putting people first, doing the right thing, being courageous, and having fun and laughter. 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.
