CONGRATULATIONS!

What a wonderful three weeks – HX2023 in Durban, South Africa then a week later in Christchurch, New Zealand and then a week after that on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia! Three simply outstanding events –over 2,400 Harcourts team members came together to learn, to recognise and to celebrate – and that we did!

Congratulations to Cameron Bailey – number one sales consultant for both Harcourts New Zealand and for the group internationally as well as being inducted into the Harcourts International Hall of Fame. A huge achievement and incredibly well-deserved recognition for all that Cam has contributed to the group.

A special congratulations to Mark and Sam Forde, inducted into the Harcourts International Hall of Fame at the Australian HX. A very special couple who have contributed so much to the group over the years.

Congratulations to Kate Smith, number one consultant in Australia and Maureen Nel, number one sales consultant in South Africa. A special congratulations to Dane and Kym Atherton, number one office internationally for Harcourts and to Martin, Mitch, Rob and Andrew –number one franchise for the Group – another spectacular result given the tough market.

What was most exciting though was the strength of culture and the overwhelming positivity of our entire team. The last few years have been challenging, the last 12 months have seen a total market turnaround from the strong market we experienced through 2020 and 2021, to a much more subdued environment. It is so exciting to see how strongly we are positioned as we start to head out of the current slower market.

As I said opening the NZ and Australian HX events, there is no doubt we have the best foundation of any real estate group – our purpose, our values and our vision, we have the best platform of any real estate group –our Kaizen Cog, and we most definitely have the best people! Our clients tell us so.

I’m looking forward to an awesome year ahead. Thank you for everything you do that allows this Group to continue to achieve the wonderful impact that we do on so many lives.
