Harcourts Cooper & Co has clinched three top international awards for its service selling real estate on the North Shore, Hibiscus Coast, Rodney District and Auckland’s northwest…and will now be marketed worldwide by a ‘World’s Best’ book on more than 50 international airlines.

The International Property Awards have recognised the Albany-headquartered company as the best New Zealand real estate agency group with five to 20 offices, and excellence in marketing for both New Zealand and the Asia Pacific for 2022.

Managing director Martin Cooper says the prestigious awards identify the highest levels of achievement in real estate, development, architecture, interior design, marketing and hospitality in both residential and commercial sectors, and says it’s a huge thrill to be included on the winners’ list for the first time.

“It’s great to be recognised as a company that people can trust in,” Cooper says. “In a world that’s still recovering from extraordinary change, accolades like this reassure our clients that we have solid experience, total dependability, decades of expertise and unrivalled quality, which means they can trust us to give the best customer service on the market today.

“A total of 90 judges decide on winners in each category, and Cooper & Co will be included in a yearly ‘World’s Best’ book that will be given to first and business class travellers on British Airways, Emirates and 50 other airlines around the world.

“For us, that’s amazing profile on an international scale and something money can’t easily buy. We are really chuffed, to be honest.”

The awards, held since 1994, are a world-renowned mark of excellence for the property industry and considered the most prestigious globally.

However, Harcourts Cooper & Co isn’t a stranger to top awards. It has won the Harcourts International best franchise ahead of 900 others for 11 years in a row, and the Harcourts New Zealand top franchise in its group for several years. Its inhouse auction team wins major awards across Australasia annually, and its property management division and NAI commercial arm are frequently celebrated by the industry.

Harcourts Cooper & Co has more than 350 sales consultants and nearly 150 support team members working across the north from Devonport to Matakana in 19 offices, a community outreach arm, auction team, NAI commercial department and award-winning property management team.
