This Labour weekend marks three years that
Harcourts has been open in Pauanui, and the
team at Next Generation Pauanui have certainly
had a massive impact on the local real estate
scene in that short period!
The aptly named “Dynamic Duo” of Alyce Rowe
and Katie Wardenburg – recognised easily in
their black mini convertible, with license plate
‘Da Grls’ – have together sold over $40 million
in Pauanui properties since opening their office.
Soon after the mini arrived, the duo brought
Tylah Dix on board as their administrator and the
‘trio’ have been together since.
After Harcourts had closed their Pauanui office
10 years before, another well-known brand had
taken over the lion’s share of the real estate
market. So initially, some in the industry were
sceptical that such a young team could succeed
in bringing Harcourts back, but this only spurred
this bold team onto greater effort.
“We were the new kids on the block – the
next generation – and the opportunity to start
something fresh and take on a new challenge
was awesome,” says Alyce. “People now know
we are here to stay – we are already getting repeat
business and a lot of referrals!”
EXPANDING BUSINESS CONNECTIONS
Harcourts Pauanui has recently joined the
Coromandel Beaches Realty franchise that has
offices in Whangamata, Tairua, Whitianga and
Coromandel town.
Alyce has also joined forces with Tony and
Pip White, owners of the Harcourts Tairua, to
become joint business owners of both Harcourts
offices in Pauanui and Tairua. This restructure
combines the expertise, experience, and networks
of Tony and Pip with the enthusiasm, energy of
the next generation of team in Pauanui.
After 20 years with the well-known Harcourts
Cooper and Co. franchise, Tony and Pip moved
here from the North Shore of Auckland.
Together they sold over 600 homes on the
North Shore and found that many of their
clients, friends and family, were moving to
the east coast of the Coromandel. They
were also desperate to
get out of the rat race,
and ‘right size’ their lives.
“We’re really excited about how this
collaboration will change the real estate
landscape and make a real difference to
how residential homes are marketed on the
Paradise Coast – for the better”, says Tony.

NEWS FLASH from Alastair Brickell at Stargazers B&B
NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft that visited Pluto in 2015 will zip past
the most distant object ever visited on January 1 at 14km/second.
“Ultima Thule”, a dwarf planet only discovered in 2014, is 6 light hours
away and at minus 2200 C a complete mystery. We think it is about
30km in diameter but don’t know if it has moons or rings, is icy or rocky
or even if it’s a double planet. Stay tuned!
