HouGarden recently had the pleasure of catching up with Mark Wang (Business Owner) and meeting Chris Kennedy (Business Owner & Managing Director) at Harcourts Gold – Spitfire Square, one of New Zealand’s top-performing multi-office franchises.
The Harcourts Gold network has long been recognised for its exceptional results, award-winning teams, and commitment to innovation. Under the leadership of Chris Kennedy and Mark Wang, the Spitfire Square office embodies the group’s reputation for excellence — combining strategic vision, high-performance culture, and an unwavering focus on client success.
Our conversation centred on the future of real estate marketing and the evolving digital landscape, particularly the growing importance of connecting with multilingual audiences. At HouGarden, we’re proud to empower leading agencies like Harcourts Gold with data-driven tools and marketing solutions that enhance visibility, engagement, and reach across both local and international markets.
The discussion also highlighted the increasing influence of Chinese-speaking buyers and investors in the Canterbury region. With HouGarden’s platform available in 17 languages — including simplified and traditional Chinese — we’re helping agents and vendors extend their property exposure to one of the fastest-growing segments in New Zealand’s real estate market.
Visiting the Spitfire Square office was a reminder that great leadership and innovation go hand in hand. The professionalism, team spirit, and forward-thinking mindset evident throughout Harcourts Gold continue to set a benchmark for the industry.
