History
John Bateman Harcourt established the Harcourts real estate company in Wellington, New Zealand, in 1888.[3] From 1874 John had been a partner in the merchant partnership A. P. Stuart & Co.,[4] which he bought out in 1879.[5]
Expansion
Expanding from Wellington in 1985 under a franchising system with Collins Real Estate in Christchurch, Harcourts, its subsidiaries and/or divisions, and co-branded local real-estate companies now operate in Australia, Fiji, South Africa, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Singapore, China, Canada, and the United States; initially focusing on California but have now expanded into Oregon. They formerly had operations in Zambia.[6]
Harcourts has over 800 offices, 5500 sales consultants and 1500 support/administration staff.[7]
Franchising
Harcourts operates a full-service real-estate franchise model which covers residential, commercial, rural, urban projects and property management. Harcourts also operates mortgage booking with the Mortgage Express business, across New Zealand and Australia.[citation needed]
Operations
Harcourts operates an international support and development team consisting of directors, finance, marketing, technology, training, franchise development, and value-added services.[clarification needed] Each market where the brand operates has an on-the-ground support team to deliver these products, services, and assistance to Harcourts franchisees.[citation needed]
