John Bateman Harcourt established the Harcourts real-estate company in Wellington, New Zealand, in 1888.[4]

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, the United Arab Emirates and the United States; initially focusing on California but have now expanded into Oregon. They formerly had operations in Zambia.[5]

In mid-2012 Harcourts had over 800 offices, 5500 sales consultants and 1500 support/administration staff.[6]

Franchising

Harcourts operates a full-service real-estate franchise model which covers residential, commercial, rural, urban projects and property management and uses property management software. Harcourts also operates insurance services, mortgage broking and conveyancing.

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]
