Award-winning Parnell team joins Harcourts

1 September 2010: An award-winning* Parnell-based real estate team has joined Harcourts from another international real estate group, making the move public today by rebranding their existing office.

Formerly trading as Ray White Parnell and Ray White Commercial Parnell Ltd, the team has today commenced introducing the Harcourts and NAI Harcourts brands along with Harcourts’ world-class systems and products in addition to sharing the news with their clients.

Managing Directors James Lee and Rosh Daji say Harcourts is a New Zealand success story they wanted their company to be part of.

“Harcourts is achieving excellent growth domestically and globally, they recently added an exciting new international network via their joint venture with one of the world’s largest commercial property groups to form NAI Harcourts, and from our observations they have industry-leading technology, training and support amongst other things,” the pair says.

“With big plans across both the commercial and residential parts of our business we recognised these advantages would be of huge benefit to our team and to our clients and are confident joining Harcourts/NAI Harcourts will be a great affiliation to bring us to another level.”

As Mr Lee explains, the new Harcourts Parnell office, located at 2 Heather St, boasts a multi-cultural team of 35, including top commercial sales and leasing specialists and business brokers along with high-performing residential sales consultants and property managers.

“With award-winning residential sales consultant Rosh Daji now becoming a Managing Director we have a stronger focus on growing our share of the residential property market and having recently promoted one of the country’s top commercial sales consultants, James Law, to be an Executive Director and lead our top-performing commercial leasing team we have ambitious plans in that sector too.

“In addition we are determined to maximise my strong Asian network and the global networks of Harcourts and NAI Harcourts, with the ultimate aim being to have an internationally-operating office that is one of the top in town.”

Harcourts New Zealand CEO Hayden Duncan says with Harcourts’ key focuses including growth in Auckland and in the commercial property sector he is delighted to welcome NZ International Realty Ltd and their team to the group.

“Having had interest from a number of real estate companies operating in the Parnell area we felt James, Rosh and their team were the best fit with the Harcourts culture and would also add significantly to our group.

“The location of their office in the high-profile suburb of Parnell and the breadth and depth of their team is a great complement to our existing network and we’re particularly pleased they have a strong commercial team to help continue the strong growth of the NAI Harcourts brand.

“In turn, clearly they have identified Harcourts as being the best option to take their business forward with, which is great endorsement of what our group has to offer and where we are going.”
