Industry leaders unite to launch Harcourts Werribee

Experienced trio establishes new Harcourts office in Melbourne’s west.

Three highly respected real estate professionals have united to launch Harcourts Werribee, a dynamic new real estate brand poised to redefine service standards across Melbourne’s Western Suburbs. Rick O’Halloran, Reece Beckley and Petar Krnjeta will lead this vibrant new office.

The team bring together deep experience, strong community ties, and a shared vision for a modern, client-first real estate model, built through years of leadership and achievement within other leading brands.

Their partnership stems from early career collaborations where they developed strong reputations.

Despite taking different professional paths over the years, their mutual respect remained, eventually sparking the idea to build something exceptional for the West together.

“Harcourts Werribee is the natural next step,” said co-founder Rick O’Halloran.

“We’ve each dedicated years to growing our expertise and relationships within this community. Bringing our strengths together allows us to deliver a service built on honesty, clear communication, and genuine care.”

The founders selected the Harcourts brand for its global strength, world-class systems, and alignment with their commitment to a supportive culture.

Harcourts Werribee will offer comprehensive sales and property management services, supported by advanced technology and innovative marketing.

Petar Krnjeta emphasised the importance of the new relationship, stating, “Harcourts gives us the platform to deliver a transparent, modern, high-performance real estate experience. But the heart of this office is our partnership—three individuals aligned in values, vision, and a desire to build something sustainable, people-focused, and genuinely family-friendly.”

The team is committed to shifting the industry’s culture in the region by cultivating collaboration, mentorship, and growth rather than focusing solely on competition.

Reece Beckley noted, “We’re not just building a business; we’re building a supportive, collaborative environment where every team member can thrive. Trust, guidance, and support are at the centre of our business. Our mission is to empower clients to make confident decisions—whether they’re buying, selling, renting or investing.”

The founders see a significant opportunity to elevate property management services, an area they believe has been overlooked recently.

They aim to provide landlords with wealth creation strategies and expert insights, ensuring long-term support.

The new team is well positioned to achieve this, with O’Halloran, Krnjeta, and Beckley ensuring comprehensive service coverage for the area.

Adam Fiteni, CEO of Harcourts Victoria, welcomed the new team, stating, “We are delighted to welcome Rick, Petar, and Reece to the Harcourts family.

Their dedication to client-first service and community values perfectly aligns with our mission. We look forward to supporting their vision for real estate excellence in Melbourne’s West.”
