Harcourts opens US flagship office

Global real estate franchise group Harcourts International is boosting its presence in the US. The company has appointed a director of growth and training for the Pacific Region and opened an office in Beverly Hills.

High flying Melbourne real estate agent and auctioneer Glen Coutinho is taking on the new role.

Harcourts international managing director Mike Green said “Glen is the consummate real estate professional, a great guy and someone who embraces our Harcourts values. His reputation for providing exceptional client service and continually surpassing expectations is well-known. He has been a good friend of our group for more than 30 years so to finally have him join the Harcourts team and for us to have the opportunity to work with him is exceptionally exciting.

“Combining Glen’s professionalism and expertise with the Harcourts brand is going to be a very exciting development for us in the Los Angeles market.”

Coutinho has relocated with his family.

“With two of my sons recording music in LA, the opportunity to work with an established brand with people I already know and trust here in the USA was a simple fit,” said Coutinho.

“I am a customer service fanatic and I enjoy having the same values as the company. The core value of ‘People First’ is one that resonates with me at the heart of everything I do, in my professional and person life.”
