Brazil starting point for Harcourts South America!

Harcourts has just signed an exclusive deal with Global Franchise Consultants in Brazil to promote and launch the Harcourts brand into South America, according to Harcourts’ International Franchise Development Manager Aaron Hodson.

Mr Hodson said that an initial focus will be expanding into Brazil, quickly followed by growth into other South American countries. “Brazil was the obvious choice for the launch of Harcourts into South America. It is a stable economy which has a relatively new real estate industry, and one of the top three internet provider services in the world, which will support our Harcourts systems wonderfully,” he said.

According to Mr Hodson, Global Franchise Consultants has been responsible for the launch of over sixty high profile franchise groups into South America, and Harcourts International will be the first international real estate group, and the first Australasian brand, launched by Global Franchise in South America. Mr Hodson said that interest for Harcourts in South America had “soared” following the organisation’s successful launch into South Africa last year.

“This is an exciting step for the Harcourts Group given the strength of the South American economy and real estate market,” Mr Hodson said.

Harcourts is Australasia’s fastest growing real estate organisation, with offices in all states and the Northern Territory, New Zealand, Fiji, Indonesia and Singapore. Last year, it expanded its operations into Zambia, China, and South Africa., with a total of over 600 offices internationally.
