Langwell Harper is an exclusive real estate agency located in Kew, Victoria. The company has been advising and meeting clients’ needs to the highest level over the past 25 years.
Peter Daicos (Director) and Arthur Korf (Principle Property Consultant, Development Advisory) began the company in 1996, after deciding to bring a different level of personalisation to the real estate profession – previously working at Collings Real Estate.
“The name comes from both of Arthur’s and Peter’s first sales in real estate – Langwells Parade and Harper Street,” Adrian Garra, Sales Consultant for Langwell Harper, explained.
“Since day one the company has retained and gained clients that now refer to them for all property needs from leasing to development and investment advice.”
The organisation has found great success throughout its time, due to a strong principled approach.
“We stay away from volume sales and expensive self-promoting marketing and focus on delivering a personalised and tailored service that suits each party’s best needs,” Garra stated.
“It’s not to just turnover the quickest commission for ourselves, each transaction is based off advice we ourselves would take if we were selling our own assets.”
The real estate agency has recently entered an agreement with Soccerscene, investing in the world game industry – but on a local scale.
The organisation hopes to engage all of the wider football public and offer services which will be rewarding for them.
“It is all about building relationships,” Garra said.
“Several individuals that are part of the team have been around the world game for over 30 years and we felt it was a great opportunity to continue that relationship further by investing in the football industry.
“We want to help accelerate the growth around footballing activity in this country and help to continue to grow the game.
“It’s about giving back to the game that many of us have grown up loving and still have a burning passion for. You could say it was our first love before property!”
Overall, representatives at Langwell Harper believe Australian football will reach greater heights. However, issues that exist in the game’s own backyard need to be addressed.
“We think that there is a long way to go in the country with regards to football,” Garra said.
“With current discussion around a B League and further investment into the game, there is light at the end of the tunnel.
“The focus at present should be about uniting the old with the new. We have noticed a divide between those that supported the NSL and don’t get involved with the A-League, that gap needs to be bridged in order for the game to grow.
“Better infrastructure, better coaching and more football people working for the game.”
Langwell Harper understand the importance of connecting with the local community and they hope to expand on the strong links they have developed, into the long-term future.
“With both partners and staff all being locals of Boroondara for over 20 years each, we want to connect more with the local community and use our real-life experience and intimate knowledge of these areas to help people truly get the best agent experience they can,” Garra said.
“Being able to connect with the local community is a cornerstone to any business and our real estate company is no different.
“We find it really important to continue to build and foster relationships with each individual either on a business level or personally.
“The importance of nurturing ties and holding an individual’s hand through the sale of a property (sometimes their biggest asset) is of high importance as we know for a fact, it can be one of the most stressful situations an individual can go through.
“By being Professional, Authentic, Adaptive and Committed, it’s really what this business is built on and why the local community will always get the best from us ensuring continued community support and connection.”
