<p>Holmwood Real Estate Group has today announced that the W.Thompson offices in Gore&nbsp;and Invercargill will now come under the Holmwood Real Estate Group umbrella.</p> <p>Mike Mullen the newly appointed General Manager for the Holmwood Group says moving&nbsp;these two offices under the one brand is about aligning all business to consistently grow the&nbsp;Holmwood brand and deliver consistently high service.</p> <p>&ldquo;Being one of the largest players in the South Island the transition for these offices to now&nbsp;fit under the Holmwood Group brand umbrella is about aligning our growth strategies&nbsp;across the South Island. This evidently allows us to expand our distinguishing culture to&nbsp;focus on consistently delivering the best service we can to our clients.&rdquo;</p> <p>&ldquo;Our teams work in a people-oriented business and are single-mindedly focused on getting&nbsp;the best results for our clients. This focus definitely makes the difference to culture and&nbsp;success and it&rsquo;s what makes us the kind of people our clients want to work with,&rdquo; said Mr&nbsp;Mullen.</p> <p>Tony Jenkins CEO of Harcourts Holmwood Real Estate Group says the Invercargill office has&nbsp;been a standout performer for the Harcourts Group.</p> <p>&ldquo;This performance is reflected in the number of national awards which the office has&nbsp;consistently achieved. The two new offices are therefore an exciting addition to the&nbsp;Holmwood Real Estate Group,&rdquo; Mr Jenkins.</p> <p>Holmwood&rsquo;s Invercargill and Gore offices were the first offices in New Zealand to be&nbsp;presented with the Best Practice Accreditation Award.</p> <p>&ldquo;It is such a prestigious award and now all Holmwood offices have achieved the Best&nbsp;Practice Accreditation Award giving assurance to all clients that they will receive first class&nbsp;service and satisfaction under the Holmwood brand,&rdquo; says Mr Jenkins.</p> <p>&ldquo;No matter what Holmwood office you work with we want to deliver the same high level of&nbsp;service, marketing, technology and experience from Christchurch to Invercargill. We are&nbsp;strongly moving forward to achieve that.&rdquo;</p> <p>Operations will continue within the same Invercargill and Gore locations but they will now&nbsp;market under the Harcourts Holmwood Real Estate Group brand.</p> <p>Holmwood Real Estate Group currently operates five residential real estate offices in&nbsp;Christchurch, one in Wanaka, and at present operates three property management divisions&nbsp;together with the commercial office. Now adding to that Invercargill and Gore residential&nbsp;and property management divisions, this will make Holmwood Real Estate Group one of the&nbsp;largest and most successful franchise groups in Australasia.</p>
