Leading with Resilience: Mark Harris on the Cheques & Balances Podcast

What happens when your home burns down, you move to Queenstown, and start rebuilding your life from scratch?

 

For Mark Harris, Managing Director of New Zealand Sotheby’s International Realty, it was the beginning of an extraordinary journey - one that led to building a business from a garage with business partner Julian Brown, and convincing the world’s most powerful global real estate brand to take a chance on two ambitious young professionals in their early 30s.

In his recent appearance on the Cheques and Balancespodcast with hosts James Blair and Michael Vincent, Mark reflected on his real estate journey—from overcoming early challenges in a sleepy tourist town to steering the business through the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) and spearheading NZSIR’s impressive global expansion. He shared valuable insights on market trends, investment strategies, and the visionary leadership that has propelled the brand to international prominence.
