Holmwood Real Estate Group has today announced that the W.Thompson offices in Gore and Invercargill will now come under the Holmwood Real Estate Group umbrella.

Mike Mullen the newly appointed General Manager for the Holmwood Group says moving these two offices under the one brand is about aligning all business to consistently grow the Holmwood brand and deliver consistently high service.

“Being one of the largest players in the South Island the transition for these offices to now fit under the Holmwood Group brand umbrella is about aligning our growth strategies across the South Island. This evidently allows us to expand our distinguishing culture to focus on consistently delivering the best service we can to our clients.”

“Our teams work in a people-oriented business and are single-mindedly focused on getting the best results for our clients. This focus definitely makes the difference to culture and success and it’s what makes us the kind of people our clients want to work with,” said Mr Mullen.

Tony Jenkins CEO of Harcourts Holmwood Real Estate Group says the Invercargill office has been a standout performer for the Harcourts Group.

“This performance is reflected in the number of national awards which the office has consistently achieved. The two new offices are therefore an exciting addition to the Holmwood Real Estate Group,” Mr Jenkins.

Holmwood’s Invercargill and Gore offices were the first offices in New Zealand to be presented with the Best Practice Accreditation Award.

“It is such a prestigious award and now all Holmwood offices have achieved the Best Practice Accreditation Award giving assurance to all clients that they will receive first class service and satisfaction under the Holmwood brand,” says Mr Jenkins.

“No matter what Holmwood office you work with we want to deliver the same high level of service, marketing, technology and experience from Christchurch to Invercargill. We are strongly moving forward to achieve that.”

Operations will continue within the same Invercargill and Gore locations but they will now market under the Harcourts Holmwood Real Estate Group brand.

Holmwood Real Estate Group currently operates five residential real estate offices in Christchurch, one in Wanaka, and at present operates three property management divisions together with the commercial office. Now adding to that Invercargill and Gore residential and property management divisions, this will make Holmwood Real Estate Group one of the largest and most successful franchise groups in Australasia.
