Harcourts offers exclusive global marketing opportunity

29 July 2009: Harcourts International is providing further global marketing exposure opportunities exclusively to its clients through having its residential listings included on RELOHomeSearch.com, a global home listings website.

RELOHomeSearch.com , which gives visitors access to literally millions of listings in more than 30 countries, is the property search website of Leading Real Estate Companies of the World™, a global real estate network comprised of more than 600 premier real estate firms including Harcourts - which joined the network in 2003 in order to provide additional international marketing exposure for its clients’ property.

In addition to members’ residential property listings, RELOHomeSearch.com includes information about neighbourhoods, cities, states/regions and countries, demographic and statistical data and other information of relevance to buyers.
As Harcourts International Managing Director Mike Green explains, the only New Zealand and Australian properties able to be featured on RELOHomeSearch.com are Harcourts’ listings as it is the exclusive South Pacific member of the prestigious Leading RE network.

According to Mr Green providing Harcourts’ clients with a comprehensive range of quality international marketing opportunities is essential in the current economic environment.

“New Zealand and Australia have not suffered as much as other countries from the effects of the global financial crisis and our property prices have remained comparatively stable, however international investors and ex-pats alike are still likely to be viewing both countries as preferred property markets in which to invest, therefore it is vital our listings are made readily available to them.”

“That’s why ensuring we’re involved with initiatives such as RELOHomeSearch.com, which help expose our clients’ properties to a global audience, are vital.”

With more than 5500 offices and 150,000 sales associates in 35 countries, Leading Real Estate Companies of the World™ affiliates produce around US$400 billion in annual home sales representing approximately 1.2 million transactions each year, outselling any international franchise and leading the world in the sales of $1 million-plus homes.

Mr Green is a LeadingRE board member and also chairs the organisation’s International Advisory Board which is comprised of non-U.S. members committed to expanding the value proposition of the company’s international membership programs. 

Meanwhile Harcourts, which was established in Wellington in 1888, is New Zealand’s largest real estate group and the fastest growing in Australia.  The group also has offices in Fiji, Indonesia, Singapore, China, South Africa, Zambia and Botswana - totalling more than 600 offices and around 4000 sales consultants internationally.
