Harcourts Royal Oak office established by former independents

Established and successful Royal-Oak-based real estate company RPA Ltd has joined Harcourts, New Zealand’s largest real estate group, yesterday making the move official by rebranding their office.

Formerly operating independently as Ryan Property Agents and Ryan Commercial, the company is now in the process of introducing the Harcourts brand and its comprehensive range of world-class business, marketing and technology systems and products to its commercial, business broking and residential team.

Co-owners Jackie Ryan, Matt Ryan and Liz Wyllie say they are delighted that they and their growing team have become part of the Harcourts group.

“Harcourts is a New Zealand-owned company, it has the largest national real estate network and a growing global presence, and of all the major franchise groups we believe their brand best portrays the honest, hardworking  image we ourselves have strived to achieve,” Mr Ryan says.  “In addition Harcourts has industry-leading technology, top-quality training and marketing products and an abundance of other excellent resources and support available – all advantages that will be of huge benefit to our team and our clients.”

As Mr Ryan explains, the new Harcourts Royal Oak office boasts an experienced and growing team that is involved in commercial and industrial sales and leasing, business sales and commercial property management along with residential sales, leasing and property management.

“Operating for more than 17 years, the company originally started out in residential property sales but then moved in to the commercial property sector, which is an area we have been both heavily focused on and successful in over recent years,” he says.   “Now, in addition to wanting to continue to grow our commercial property and business broking marketshare, we also plan to reassert ourselves in the residential property market, especially in the area of auction marketing in which we have been an award-winning office.”

Mr Ryan says the Harcourts brand and the group’s supporting systems and resources will be particularly beneficial to their company in the residential arena. “In fact, joining Harcourts has already aided us in recruiting two top performing residential sales consultants in our area.”

Mr Ryan says the company has ambitious plans and is keen to build both its residential and commercial teams in order to help them achieve their goals.

Meanwhile Harcourts New Zealand CEO Bryan Thomson says he is thrilled to welcome Jackie, Matt, Liz and their team to the Harcourts group.

“It’s a great endorsement of Harcourts that they chose to join us and become Harcourts franchise owners and exciting to have such a successful company with a strong team of sales consultants, business brokers and property managers in our group now.

“We look forward to working with them to grow Harcourts’ presence and market share in their area of Auckland.”

Located at 758 Manukau Rd, opposite Royal Oak Mall, the new Harcourts Royal Oak office is one of the largest in the area and offers in-house auction rooms and ample car parking.

In addition to serving the Auckland and central-suburbs commercially, the residential sales and property management team works across Royal Oak, Onehunga, One Tree Hill, Greenlane, Hillsborough and Mangere Bridge.
