Brent Pullar and Steve Foster-Swan have teamed up as business partners to launch and operate the 80th franchise for the Harcourts group: Harcourts Central.
Brent Pullar was a co-founder of real estate empire MPRE group (as it was back in 2000) with 21 offices in the local area, who later went on to be the Harcourts CEO for Victoria for a period of time. He currently resides as a Director and shareholder of the Harcourts Victoria group.
Steve Foster-Swan a Peninsula local with exceptional ambition and determination saw him achieve 10th place in the World Triathlon Championships in Mexico last year.
Having opened only weeks ago in Frankston, the Harcourts Central team are already giving back and getting involved within the local community through the launch of their ‘Harcourts Central Rewards’ platform.
The website created by Harcourts Central Real Estate connects local businesses in Frankston and surrounds with likeminded local consumers. The platform, which officially launched in May has been so well received with local subscribers exceeding the thousands.
Co-Director Steve Foster-Swan said, “We want to see all businesses flourish in the area, so we have developed some great partnerships with other strong brands on the Peninsula to assist one another.”
“We are proud of our business partners including Bayside Shopping Centre, Bay City Holden, Frankston Arts Centre, Hoyt’s and PARC – just to name a few.”
“These are all well-respected businesses and we look forward to assisting them to go from strength to strength and increase their market share.”
“Working alongside the community will also continue to stem positive exposure for the Frankston City as everyone works together to achieve success.”
After the success of the platform in May, Foster-Swan said, “We decided it was our role to ensure that the platform reach was utilised even further, which has driven the launch of our June campaign; Harcourts Central Random Act of Kindness.”
Throughout the month of June, the Harcourts Central team will take part in multiple community acts of kindness including a feed the homeless drive, support at the local animal shelter and other causes that are very close to their hearts.
At the end of the month, the community will be encouraged to show their random act of kindness, or tell an account for a friend via a competition on the Harcourts Central Facebook page.
The winner will be chosen from within the comments and will be gifted with a $350 luxury overnight stay at The Lindenderry in Red Hill including Peninsula Hot Springs double passes.
Continuing the local partnerships, Harcourts Central through the month of June are teaming up with their local business partner Bayside Shopping Centre to generously offer a $300 gift card to spend at any of the centre’s retailers for the first 50 landlords to bring their investment property across for management. This $15,000 giveaway is sure to encourage landlords to evaluate their current position.
Head of property management division Nicola Mackinnon said, “The reward for investors in having their portfolio managed professionally cannot be underestimated.”
“We want to provide incentives for all landlords to enjoy themselves and have peace of mind, landlords must trust their property manager wholeheartedly.”
