Harcourts’ Marlborough
franchise honoured
17 June 2010: Harcourts’ Marlborough franchise was honoured at the recent Harcourts New Zealand conference, receiving a special award in recognition of the company’s more than 20-year membership of the Harcourts group.
Now trading as Marlborough
Real Estate 2008 Ltd, the company was originally established
by long-time local realtor John Davis, who became only the
third ever Harcourts franchise owner when Harcourts Group
Ltd first introduced the franchise model in 1989.
Mr
Davis, who commenced his real estate career in 1976, says he
was approached by two different real estate companies
interested in getting him to buy their Marlborough
franchise.
“The enthusiasm of the Harcourts people I dealt with and the fact that Harcourts was a New Zealand-owned franchise, unlike the other company, won me over,” he says, “and I’ve never looked back.”
Still heavily involved in the business,
training, selling commercial real estate and working on
special projects, Mr Davis says he’s proud of what the
Harcourts Marlborough franchise has achieved to date and is
confident about the future of his “dynasty”, which is
now in the capable hands of his sons Mark and
Aaron.
“Just as the Harcourts group has grown and
evolved so too has our franchise, expanding our team,
introducing a property management division, opening an
office in Kaikoura and winning numerous national awards,”
Mr Davis says.
“What’s also been rewarding has
been seeing our wonderful team help so many people to buy
and sell property in the Marlborough region over the past
two decades,” he says.
“Even after all these years
I still love real estate and being part of Harcourts and I
know the business is in safe hands for the
future.”
Harcourts’ Head of Real Estate Operations for Australasia Bryan Thomson says Harcourts is very proud of the long-term relationships that have been built and maintained with exceptional realtors such as the Davis family.
“Over more than 20 years with Harcourts
their franchise has made a huge contribution to the success
of our group and continues to do so
today.”
