Property Management Update

Recognising the hard work of our property management team is always exciting, especially during awards season.

We are proud to announce that Team Group Rentals Ltd has won the prestigious International Property Management Office Net Growth Award, and Lynne Cawthorn from Harcourts Holmwood Property Management has taken home the International Property Management Listing Individual Award. Congratulations to you and your teams on your outstanding achievements!

In addition, we applaud Grace Rose from Harcourts Accommodation Centre in Christchurch for winning the Top National Property Manager award for her exceptional work in property management. Not surprisingly, the team that Grace hails from also won the Top National Office Excellence award and our congratulations go to Nigel Bowden and his team at Harcourts Accommodation Centre for their win. This is a well-deserved recognition for their consistent excellence and dedication to serving landlords and tenants.

While Excellence is a highly coveted award, we want to give a shout-out to all our winners in the categories of Revenue, Growth, and Business Development awards.

We can’t wait for next year’s International Awards, and we look forward to seeing New Zealand continue to bring home more accolades in property management.

Auction Update

As always, the Harcourts Auction Competition was a highlight of HX 2023, showcasing the skills of the competitors to an enthralled audience. Battling some leftfield bidding sequences but navigating them with flair and wit, cumulated in a close, but welldeserved win for Ned Allison from Harcourts Christchurch City, who was crowned as the winner of the Harcourts NZ Auctioneer of the Year.

Ned who has won the competition twice before, was thrilled with this win and quickly jumped on stage to raise funds for the Harcourts Foundation upon hearing his name announced. He has been part of the team at Harcourts Grenadier since 2013 and has been calling auctions for the past 8 years. During that time, he has sold over 2000 homes for people. He has competed in seven REINZ competitions, making the final three times and winning twice, so it really is no wonder he serves as an inspiration to those coming through the ranks.

We were also thrilled to see the guidance of Chris Kennedy pay off as Daniel Pengelly, Harcourts Parklands won the Senior Division Auctioneer of the Year. Huge congratulations to Daniel and everyone who has invested their time and energy in your development. And most certainly, last but not least our highest praise must go to Harsh Kathuria, Harcourts Papatoetoe who won Most Promising Auctioneer of the Year. This award in particular is the one which excites me the most as we have so often in the past seen our top auctioneers in the Harcourts stable start their career with this win. So well done Harsh, there will be many sets of eyes fixed on you from now on!

I am immensely proud of all the auction competition entrants. At Harcourts we have a real focus on the development of our auctioneers. There is a lot of guidance and support from our network, and I’m pleased to say we are yielding some fantastic results from the hard work everyone has put in.
