Our Local History

The first Harcourts Showcase real estate office was established in 2003. It was a small, one-room office that operated out of the owner's home. In 2009, the owner opened a second office in a different part of town. This office grew rapidly and soon became the largest real estate office in the community. In 2010, the owner retired and sold the business to his son-in-law.  The new office continued to grow and soon became the largest real estate agency in the state. 

We believe in providing top-notch customer service and making sure our clients feel valued. Over the years, the office has grown and changed, but our commitment to our clients has always remained the same. We're comitted to continuing this tradition and have been able to build a strong reputation in the community.

We're constantly looking for new ways to better serve their clients and stay ahead of the competition. The real estate office has been a valuable asset to the community and has helped many people find their perfect home.

"I truly believe in the transformative power of real estate. It can change the trajectory of someone's life - it's not just about making money, it's about providing people with a foundation to build their lives on."

Values

These are entrenched in how we operate - in the decisions we make and the actions we take. Our values provide the foundation for our success.

  • People first

    Companies don't succeed, people do. As an organisation we understand that our success is all about people - our team and our clients. We must never lose sight of the 'people' at the centre of everything.

  • Being Courageous

    It takes courage to always do the right thing, to always tell the truth and simply be the best at what we do. It takes courage to change careers, to open a new office, to enter a new market or country. Every day we must as an organisation and as individuals, act with courage.

  • Doing the Right Thing

    There is never a right time to do the wrong thing. We all know instinctively what the right thing to do is, and so our focus is always to make the right decision, and to always do the right thing.

  • Fun & Laughter

    We spend a significant part of our lives in our profession - we must never forget that the journey is the most important thing, not necessarily the destination. Having fun and laughter along the way as well as ensuring the people around us do, will ensure we create a life worth living.
