This strategic move marks a new chapter for the real estate group, combining decades of experience with a fresh vision for the future.
The announcement was made at the recent Harcourts Tasmania Ignite event, celebrating a partnership that spans over two decades.
Ms Littlejohn, who previously served as the Business Operations Manager, brings a wealth of expertise to the role.
Since joining Harcourts Launceston in 2003, she has built an impressive career defined by her skills in strategic planning, budgeting, and business development, supported by diplomas in Human Resource Management and Leadership & Management.
Her appointment acknowledges not just her tenure, but her deep understanding of the network’s operations and culture.
“It is an absolute privilege to be able to join Tony in the CEO role for the Tasmanian network,” said Littlejohn.
“Having worked alongside Tony for the past 23 years, I have watched him grow and create an incredible network of offices. I’ve seen him share his incredible sales and leadership skills with so many aspiring real estate agents and watched their success follow—his mark is etched in the fabric of this brand forever.”
Tony Morrison welcomed the appointment, highlighting the strength of their working relationship.
“Kate has been the backbone of our operations for years. Her insight, dedication, and leadership skills make her the perfect partner to help lead Harcourts Tasmania into its next phase of growth. We’ve always been a team, and now it’s official at the highest level.”
The move has received strong support from the national leadership team. Adrian Knowles, CEO of Harcourts Australia, commented on the significance of this dual-leadership model for the region.
“Tasmania is a crucial market for Harcourts, and having two such high-calibre leaders at the top is a massive win for our network,” said Mr Knowles.
“Kate’s operational brilliance combined with Tony’s market influence creates a powerhouse leadership team. I’m excited to see how their combined strengths will drive regional growth and continue to support our business owners and agents across the state.”
This co-CEO structure signals Harcourts Tasmania’s commitment to robust leadership and sustainable growth, ensuring the network remains a dominant force in the Tasmanian property market.
