After more than a decade of running a highly successful, independent boutique agency, real estate veterans John and Sue Ward are opening a new chapter.
The husband-and-wife duo, bringing over 25 years of industry experience, have officially partnered with the world-renowned Harcourts group to launch Harcourts Ward, serving Brisbane’s Northside.
For John and Sue, the decision to join Harcourts was driven entirely by their clients’ needs.
“We wanted to combine the highly personalised, attentive service of a family-owned agency with the strength, reputation, and reach of a global brand,” says John Ward.
“Working alongside your spouse in real estate for 30 years is either a recipe for disaster or a masterclass in teamwork—luckily for us, it’s the latter. This partnership allows us to keep our hands-on, genuine approach while plugging into industry-leading marketing, technology, and systems to get the best possible results for the families we represent.”
Clients across Brisbane’s Northside will now benefit from Harcourts’ cutting-edge resources, paired with the Wards’ proven track record of securing record sale prices.
Whether it is an entry-level townhouse, a modern executive home, or a sprawling acreage property, Harcourts Ward has the tailored marketing strategies to match.
Andrew Friebe, CEO of Harcourts Queensland, expressed his excitement about the new partnership: “John and Sue Ward are exactly the kind of people we want flying the Harcourts flag. Their outstanding success, unwavering integrity, and deep-rooted commitment to their local community make them a perfect fit. We are thrilled to welcome Harcourts Ward to the network and look forward to seeing the incredible impact they will continue to have on Brisbane’s Northside.”
The Wards are a true fixture of the local area. They live locally, shop locally, and have raised their children in local schools.
Beyond selling and renting homes, they are passionate advocates for their community, proudly supporting local schools, sporting clubs, the CWA, the RSPCA, and Pine Rivers Koala Care.
“We love this area,” adds Sue. “Where else can you enjoy peaceful countryside and then be by the beautiful bayside 20 minutes later? We know exactly why people want to live here, and with Harcourts’ backing, we are better equipped than ever to help them do exactly that.”
“We are absolutely thrilled to begin this new chapter as Harcourts Ward. It is the exact same honest, personalised service you have come to trust, now with a remarkable new level of strength and capability behind it.”
