For the fifth consecutive year, New Zealanders have voted Harcourts their Most Trusted real estate brand.

Reader’s Digest has announced its most trusted brands for 2017, and Harcourts has come out on top in the real estate category.

It is the fifth time real estate has been voted on, and the fifth time Harcourts has been voted Most Trusted.

Harcourts CEO Chris Kennedy says it is incredible to be supported by the people of New Zealand, and the Most Trusted award is treasured by everyone who works for Harcourts.

“It’s what we are always working towards. Our people try to give the very best service and honest advice to every client, so for New Zealanders to choose us again as their most trusted is very humbling.”

In the past year, Harcourts New Zealand has listed over 33,000 properties for sale and managed over 21,000 rental properties.

Kennedy says Harcourts’ challenge is to keep living up to the trust Kiwis place in it.

“We know the decision to sell your home is incredibly important and one of the biggest financial transactions you will ever make. We don’t take that lightly, and will continue to work extremely hard to deliver you the best possible price and the kind of service that will make you choose us again.”

Harcourts was founded in Wellington in 1888 and remains proudly Kiwi owned. Today Harcourts has offices in 197 locations around New Zealand and has a network of over 2,300 sales consultants nationally.
