AARON BROOKS INDUCTED INTO THE HARCOURTS HALL OF FAME This year’s Harcourts Hall of Fame Inductee, Aaron Brooks, began his real estate career in 1992, achieving amazing success as well as playing a key role in Harcourts growth. Aaron has built a truly magnificent career and reputation based on genuinely investing in the success of those around him. After his cadetship, Aaron began his real estate career in Toowong in 1995 under the tutelage of his uncle, Paul Brooks. There, Aaron developed a passion for Auctioneering. In a chance meeting in 1996 Aaron was approached to run the auctioneering business for Harvey’s in Auckland, New Zealand, and it was during this period that a young Mike Green and even younger Aaron Brooks first met. Establishing himself as a brilliant auctioneer for Harcourts Queensland in its formative years, Aaron was named as the REIQ Auctioneer of the Year in 2000. Having conquered the Auction Landscape, Aaron was offered the role of Chief Executive Officer of Harcourts QLD. A role he relished. A born leader, communicator and by now a seasoned real estate operator, Aaron, over the next 10 years, took the Harcourts Queensland business to new heights, with many in the room tonight being part of that amazing growth. As with anything, all good things must come to an end, and Aaron resigned from his post in 2012 to commence his own Coaching Business. With clientele across the Harcourts Group including Hall of Famer, Wendy Lenaghan, Harcourts Gympie Owner, Nathan O’Neill, and Harcourts Beenleigh’s Tony Ghanem - Harcourts was never far from Aaron’s heart. So, in 2013, Aaron rejoined the Harcourts Group, in partnership with Tony Ghanem at Beenleigh, and it is here that Aaron really found his calling and tribe. Aaron appointed Sam Devlin as the Chief Auctioneer for Harcourts Beenleigh in 2014, and by 2016 they had opened their first office in Mt Gravatt, before purchasing Harcourts Coorparoo from Trent Powles in late 2016, and so, Harcourts Property Centre was born. From 2016 to today, Aaron with his business partner Sam, and now Nathan, Kellie, and their shareholders, have built a business from zero people and zero properties under management, to now almost 2000 properties under management and over 160 property professionals. Harcourts Property Centre or HPC, stands as Aaron’s most proud business achievement. He regularly points out that it is not a business, it is a family. Aaron has conducted over 7,000 property auctions and worked with countless numbers of Australia’s leading sales consultants. He is a mentor to many in the industry, and the mental skills coach for HPC. With an ethos of working on yourself always, and in different ways, Aaron manages high performers and their energies like no one else. Aaron Brooks is a significant part of the fabric of Harcourts’ rich history. Thank you for living and breathing Harcourts, and for being the driving force behind our successes in Queensland.
