A Western Australian real estate office has continued to build its success, and as a result, it has been able to give back to the community in several ways.
“We’ve been able to provide career opportunities to the community, facilitate trainees and work experience candidates who have been interested in or who have entered the real estate industry,” Harcourts Mandurah sales manager Wayne Davey said.
“We’ve also sponsored over 43 local and overseas community organisations from schools and women’s refugees to sporting clubs and orphanages. Perhaps what we are most proud of though is the unified team we have been able to create, our longevity and the ability to retain quality staff.”
Mr Davey set up the Harcourts office 10 years ago, and it has only grown. The 45-strong team used to be an office of 12, and they now sell 20 per cent of properties listed in the Peel Region.
“Our Harcourts office in WA has remained a unified force, even during some challenging markets, now we lead the franchise group for [the] number of sales in the state,” Mr Davey said.
The Harcourts brand has shined during a tough time in the Western Australian market, Harcourts state CEO Paul Blakeley said.
“Vacancy rates have fallen, rents have stabilised and mortgage activity is picking up as lenders have started relaxing some of the stringent criteria brought on by the recent royal commission,” he said.
“The mining sector is looking better as investment in equipment has increased over the last quarter, and iron ore prices have boosted state revenue. We’re expecting further interest rate cuts later in the year, we’re already seeing more buyers at open for inspections and days on market are reducing.
“While it’s still early days, there’s certainly an air of positivity around 2020.”
