Angie Holmes

“With a name like ‘Holmes’, I had to set up a detective agency or go into the business of selling homes.” While Angie jests with a flash of a smile, she has made use of her Sherlock Holmes association to turn it into a successful marketing tool. She knows that in a highly competitive marketplace her busy clients are very resourceful about how they access property information. Angie works diligently to ensure that she, Harcourts, and advertised properties each act as powerful draw cards for prospective clients. To do the best by her clients, Angie emphasises the balance required in advertising the benefits of featured properties via mixed-media; the need to promote and maintain the highly respected Harcourts reputation; as well as the need for her to be known as the welcoming professional face that liaises and negotiates on your behalf. Her background in teaching and educational consultancy work both here and in London shines through. She is as comfortable working with fellow Kiwis as she is with clients new to our shores or new to English. She has an established reputation for being very fair, honest and willing to do the exceptional for her clients. With the value of properties on the North Shore continuing to rise, Angie matches it by placing an even higher value on earning your trust & respect.

Barbara De Mille

Having originally come from the UK over 10 years ago, Barbara has experienced buying properties in both countries so she knows what it is like working through the 'mine field' of all that is involved. This in turn has provided an insight into what first time home buyers and new immigrants experience when taking their first step on the property ladder and the importance of keeping all parties informed to ensure a successful sale and purchase. The art of communication is something that Barbara has strived to achieve all during her working life and strongly believes that this is the key to building team spirit, which in turn creates a successful working relationship. Telling the truth about all matters is the biggest element and this goes both ways. If you are not happy with the way something is being done, then you need to tell Barbara so she can either explain the reason it is done that way or change it so you are happy. Why did Barbara choose to work for Harcourts, and in particular the team of Cooper and Co? “When I met the Managing Director of the group, Martin Cooper, I knew here was a man that was passionate about how the owners and buyers were treated. He makes sure that all his staff are well trained in every aspect and puts systems in place to make sure the vendors property is marketed to its best advantage and reaches the buyers not only locally but nationally and internationally.” “A very important factor to the success of the Cooper and Co team is the fact that we all work together as a team and welcome help from other offices in the selling of a property. That help may come from not only our offices in Albany, Glenfield, Browns Bay, Milford, Mairangi Bay, Takapuna and Devonport, but also from the bigger Harcourts family that has 13 offices locally, 235 teams regionally and 370 offices internationally. As Barbara says, with over 3,000 agents choosing to work for Harcourts, and this number increasing every day, it says a lot for the company, especially when other companies are closing their doors. If you choose to market your property through Barbara, you can be assured that she will provide you with a dedicated service and will be backed by one of the strongest teams locally, nationally and globally.
