Know what works in this market? We do. From the start, provincial New Zealand has been where Property Brokers feels most at home. For over 37 years, they’ve grown with the communities they live, work and play in. “Our business is personal, and our regional roots run deep. It’s a rich relationship filled with insights that can only really be gained through time and dedication,” says Simon Short, Regional Manager <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Plenty</strong> and South Waikato. The introduction and normalisation <strong>of</strong> remote working, together with technology enabling everyday kiwis to earn their money from any location <strong>of</strong> their choosing, has seen more people realise that the quintessential life that rural and provincial New Zealand <strong>of</strong>fers may now be well within reach. “We’re seeing more people actively looking to shift to the provinces. And as they plan their next move, they’re looking to Property Brokers as the experts on the ground,” Short says. Finding a good property to call home seems to get harder each year. With headlines full <strong>of</strong> price rises, lending complexities, poor rental stock quality, and steep demand in the cities, it is a great time to look to the regions that still <strong>of</strong>fer a larger variety <strong>of</strong> quality stock at more affordable prices. As a team <strong>of</strong> over 880 people strong, the recent expansion into Tauranga now takes the total locations serviced up and down heartland New Zealand to 90. This increased scale, together with partnerships with industry leaders, sees the team able to <strong>of</strong>fer unmatched insights. “With the size and breadth <strong>of</strong> our business across NZ, our ability to bring genuine value through our significant Rural, Lifestyle, Commercial and Residential Divisions is seeing Property Brokers exponentially grow up and down the country,” Short says. Luck is the residue <strong>of</strong> consistent commitment to excellence. Over the years, Property Brokers has received 18 Real Estate Institute <strong>of</strong> New Zealand (REINZ) awards. From humble beginnings as a team <strong>of</strong> five, the hard work and unwavering commitment to excellence <strong>of</strong> this local family-owned and operated business have resulted in Property Brokers being recognised in the top 1% out <strong>of</strong> 909 real estate companies in New Zealand. “We’re incredibly proud <strong>of</strong> these achievements.
