History edit
John Bateman Harcourt established the Harcourts real estate company in Wellington, New Zealand, in 1888.[3] From 1874 John had been a partner in the merchant partnership A. P. Stuart & Co.,[4] which he bought out in 1879.[5]

They formerly had operations in Zambia.[6]
Harcourts has over 800 offices, 5500 sales consultants and 1500 support/administration staff.[7]
