Wrapping up the week on a high note, HouGarden’s Juli Visagie had the pleasure of visiting Harcourts Gold Real Estate Papanui, connecting in person with Kim Ric-Hansen Hansen and the team. The meeting offered an ideal opportunity to share the latest developments at HouGarden, including new tools, market insights, and strategies designed to help agents connect with high-intent buyers. And, of course, Juli stayed true to her daughter-approved role — making friends and enjoying a good coffee while soaking in the team’s vibrant energy.
The visit also celebrated Harcourts Gold Papanui’s remarkable achievement: being recognised as the No. 1 Large Office of the Year for the third consecutive year at the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand (REINZ) Awards. This accolade reflects not only the team’s market expertise but also their dedication, collaboration, and commitment to delivering exceptional results for clients across Papanui and beyond.
Ponsonby, Papanui, and the surrounding Auckland suburbs are evolving rapidly, with buyer demand increasingly shaped by diverse communities and a desire for lifestyle-driven properties. HouGarden’s multilingual platform, data-rich insights, and innovative marketing solutions continue to provide agents with the edge needed to reach both local and international buyers effectively.
Beyond the awards and statistics, what truly stood out during the visit was the team’s passion and camaraderie. From in-depth discussions on market trends to practical demonstrations of HouGarden’s platform capabilities, the day underscored the power of collaboration and shared vision.
As HouGarden strengthens partnerships with leading agencies like Harcourts, we remain committed to empowering agents, fostering meaningful connections, and helping buyers and sellers navigate the market with confidence. The Papanui office exemplifies the kind of professionalism, energy, and results-driven culture that makes working in New Zealand’s real estate sector so inspiring.
We look forward to many more visits, conversations, and collaborations that build on this momentum, celebrating excellence while creating opportunities for agents, clients, and communities alike.
